Car Vending Machines

You may have seen the article on WSJ about the Ford x Alibaba partnership to sell cars in China out of “car vending machines”... does anyone know who actually manufactures these vending machines?

Another user of similar technology is Carvana.

"Yakehito" Haha dude you posted (in all seriousness) about raising a couple hundred million $, citing your experience doing a few deals $1mm (does that mean a duplex or SFR?) and your friend’s ability to speak Turkish and Chinese. Gtfo you jokester

Who the fuck are you and why are you taking a series of posts/questions completely out of context? Are you seriously that offended that I don't like the car vending machine idea?
