Smart, Automated Car Parking System

It all started in early 1900 with the rise in the number of automobiles and considering that automobiles could be left unattended when not moving, unlike any other mode of transport of those times. Henry Ford once described the reactions while driving his first quadricycle, considered to be something of a nuisance at public places where horse carriages were in use, for it scared the horses and blocked the traffic. “If I stopped my machine anywhere in town a crowd was around it before I could start up again. If I left it alone even for a minute some inquisitive person always tried to run it. Finally, I had to carry a chain and chain it to a lamp post whenever I left it unattended.” (Ref. The People’s Tycoon Henry Ford & The American Century by Steven Watts, Vintage Books, 2005).
