GET MOVING
PICK A CAR!
The Car Tower (seen from above here) has 400 compartments
and is automatically refilled with new cars using a vertical
conveyor belt. It is located near the Volkswagen factory in
Wolfsburg, Germany. When a customer wants to pick up a
car, the tower dispenses it like a giant vending machine, with
robot arms pulling the correct car out and bringing it down.
