Video of an automated parking garage in West Hollywood, CA

About 40 years ago, my parents put their car in an automated garage that involved a two directional (vertical and side to side) elevator. You put your car on a roller platform which was rolled onto the elevator and people brought the elevator to the correct cubbyhole and pushed the roller platform out. This was complicated by the fact that the cubbyholes were more than one car deep, so that sometimes they had to get the car that was in front out of the way. I was fascinated, and I don’t even remember what city this was in.
