One small problem: Robotic's employees are the only ones who know how to operate the system, and the company disables its software, trapping dozens of customers' cars in the garage for days. After a court order restores its control of the garage, Hoboken pays $1.9 million to another firm to install a new system. Luckily the residential ones as in A week in Tokyo 13 can be operated by just about anyone (?). ^^ Via http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=965346#r7
