Aimed to address the ever-growing troubles like the lack of parking and real estate space of metropolitan cities, designer Roman Mistiuk has popped up with a astonishing vehicle dubbed “Metromorph” that not only solves the swelling parking problem...

It’s awsome but how do you get the car up the wall and once it is up the wall, what do you do when the person living above you has to bring his car up

Don’t be a donkey. Minority Report already fully debut this concept seven years ago. ”Whoops”
The following description is taken from:

”The MAG-LEV System
In the film’s design for its Washington, DC setting circa 2054, a mass transportation system uses electrical/magnetic energy - much like that which sends a bullet train speeding along - with horizontal and vertical surfaces covered with ”roadways” made of magnetic discs that support and propel various vehicles. In this accident-free, computer-controlled system, vehicles move at speeds of 80 to 100 miles per hour. In the city’s transportation layout, private pods, taxis and multi-passenger cars all negotiate the MAG-LEV system. As cars travel, they make seamless transitions between vertical and horizontal surfaces.
”We discussed how a future goal will be individual transportation within a mass transport system,” says Belker. ”The discussion gravitated from traveling in personal cabins, into the direction of a futuristic car which works on a MAG-LEV system – something between a capsule and a car.”
The result is a car which travels up an apartment building, for example, to ”dock” at a person’s residence. Once there, a door slides open that doubles as a living room window; at that point, the car’s seats can even provide additional seating in the living room. While parked, the car performs maintenance checks, auto-repairs, recharges and self cleans.
When residents enter their car to depart back onto the system, they are essentially stepping from the living room into another room of the house. In fact, inside the car, the seats and furnishings bear more relation to a room environment than a car. Highly-styled, comfortable seats conform to individual bodies; seating configurations can be changed so passengers can face forward or each other. The entire environment lends itself to a video screen which allows the ”driver” to perform a multitude of functions. . .none of which has to do with driving.”
