I wouldn’t say they are common but they definitely exist. The new harbour front parking in Aarhus is fully automated; you drive under the public library, which is raised on concrete pillars, and enter into any available “garage” - after you’re out of the car, you press a button to close the “garage” and the floor plate is lowered down for automated storage. An empty plate is then brought back up and the garage is opened again for the next person. It apparently increased capacity 40% to do it this way.
