When it is activated, the system will open the bay doors. Before lowering the car, it will run a series of cameras and scanners searching for obstructions and humans. Also, to be sure all doors are closed.
This amazing new system ensures the safety of its passengers and users by doing this straight out of a sci-fi film method. When it is complete, it will lower the vehicle into space and park it in one of its many slots. Humans are not allowed down there to prevent theft and damage to vehicles.
