GOOD LOOK: Wireless Parking San Francisco
What if sensors on the street knew exactly which parking spots were free? Your phone could direct you straight to a free space and the city could use that real-time information for dynamic meter pricing, discouraging driving when car traffic is too high. San Francisco is already trying the idea. If it works, it’ll be good for motorists, for the city, and for the environment.

Well, even so, after 2 bottles of wine you would have to stay In that restaurant for atleast 12 hours before you’re ready to take off with your vehicle. Am I wrong? I mean, It’s better to take a cab rather then the car If you’re having plans on drinking alcohol. They should’nt have mentioned “second bottle of wine” In my opinion. They could’ve just skipped that part. Nice invention anyhow!

they meant earlier …
they meant earlier in the film that compared to New York City, their public transportation is not as good.
however, they do have public transportation.
So, if a person cannot find a parking place within reasonable distance of their destination they may opt to park elsewhere and utilize the public transportation to take them closer to their destination. Public transit not being bad, just not as abundant. Unlike NYC, people rely on their cars more often.
make better sense?
