VW Factory in Wolfsburg, Germany

Two of the amazing structures at the VW factory in Wolfsburg, Germany, are the parking structures which park cars that will be delivered to customers.  They are two 20-story glass towers which park 20 cars on each level.  An automatic arm moves cars from the factory floor into the parking spaces and then from the parking spaces to the delivery building for passengers to pick up.

We took the "tour" of the tower which consisted of putting us in a glass box (about the size of a car) and having the arm pick us up and take us to a parking spot on the top story.  There we could exit the glass box and step onto a glass viewing platform to look out over the country side.  It was really beautiful and it was great to see the automatic arm moving the cars around!  Here's some videos I took!
