ke4roh's Journal: Pro-TEK-shun for your car

Hoboken, NJ is paying $198,000 over the next 3 years so their
robotic parking garage will continue to function. Last week
hundreds of cars were jailed by the robotic garage's inability
to operate sans properly licensed software from Robotics Parking,
Inc., and the two sides had quite the spat when the companies'
operators were required to leave the garage so Israel-based
Ultronics could take over operations. Don't feel too bad for
the city, though, the 314-space garage, if full, takes in
nearly $63k a month, so the city gets half of the take to pay
off the capital expenses.
