Maybe not. I saw those lift-type parking garages on my first trip to Japan in 1980. They were enclosed in buildings, so the cars were not exposed to the weather, but it's hardly new technology. OTOH the signs are in Chinese here, not Japanese, so who knows.
Starker here, If the jump was over water a Labrador would beat it. I don't know if Belgian, German, or Alsatian would jump like that over & into water.
#8 - The dude in blue shirt likely has some vertical stripes down his face. Our house cat did that to the wife once while 'beating feet' during a cat panic attack. Wife was not amused, even seemed a bit miffed about the whole thing.
Having a cat use my eyeballs as a jump point is not on my list of things to try. The back claws aren't razor sharp like the front ones but they can easily draw blood.
#9 Cannot possibly be economical. Nor functional without restrictions on loading/unloading - if all of one side is loaded, I can't see it successfully moving. And in what world is that cheaper than a parking garage?
My guess is that government regulation made parking garage construction illegal, and they built that instead. And that they limit departures/arrivals to prevent it from getting too unbalanced.
Parking garages require a fair amount of real estate, whereas the lifts can be installed in a much smaller footprint. Also, if the land is leased, the lifts can be removed when the lease is up, but a parking garage would be forfeited to the land owner.
#9 is a lot different from when I was young. Back when I was Cheffing in the 80's, I used to park in a 7 or 8 story garage in center city Philly. It had a car elevator that looked 80 years old. I'd pull my '73 Super Beetle in there and away she'd go.
They let me ride up a few times to drive it out myself and I thought I was about to die.
#1, That would definitely make me brown my shorts!!
