Evening Standard:

Gatwick airport is introducing a fleet of valet-parking robots to ease the stress of getting away — and squeeze one third more vehicles into the same size car park.

The autonomous droids — codenamed Stan and likened to a robot in Pixar’s 2008 movie Wall-E — scan each vehicle’s size and shape to safely steer them to their destination. And because there is no need for the driver’s door to open, they can be parked more tightly together. Each booking is linked to the passenger’s flight number to ensure their car is ready to collect from the same location upon their return.

I rarely need to leave my car at the airport but if I did, I’d use this in a heartbeat.
