Car parking is often hard to find.

Today’s invention is to change car design to help alleviate this problem.

Cars would be made in a semicircular shape with a ‘bite’ taken out as shown.

The bite would have funicular type drive wheels embedded which would engage with a rack on the back of another vehicle.

This would allow cars to form a tower which could then bend over (under computer control) to pick up others in the same way.

The effect would be to greatly reduce the amount of parking space needed.

The cars could also be constructed so that they allowed movement from one to the other when a tower had formed. In this way, instant, flexible office space could be made from commuter transport.
