I can see it now: “ Good morning, Dave. I see you intend to go to the 23rd floor. You don’t want to do that, Dave. I’m taking you to the 12th floor instead. And don’t try the stairwells, the electronic locks will not let you through.”

Usually they require human operators on the ground floor telling people how to use the elevator.Sounds like Obama's navigators for his "affordable" "health" "care"

I didn’t think pushing a button to indicate which floor you’d like to go to was a chore. Maybe LA is different.

That would be a cool building to be in during a 7.0.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it were built and engineered to withstand a 7.0.

It sounds like a freaking nightmare that will be replaced by buttons, at great expense, within three years.

Most all those building there now were built to bend, sway and wave like flags during seismic events. It’s also why they are expensive to construct.

That was the old design when it was to be two buildings. This is the current rendering, and it'll just be the one hotel tower now.

I’ve always imagined the top floor of these skyscrapers would be known as “the vomit floor” after anything larger than 6.5. The do give a lot and it can’t feel pleasant way up there, like a vertical version of crack-the-whip.

Maybe, but I wouldn’t bet my life on it by being in it.
As a native So Cal former resident, I’ve rode out my share of earthquakes including the 71 and 94 quakes. I lost my home in the 94 one.

I agree 100% unless there is a special bank of elevators just for card use.
I suspect that is actually what they mean though.

The only difference is that instead of a stern faced bureaucrat telling you it's not allowed, a computer will simply ignore your request.

To: BenLurkin
Elevators have been smart for year, and fuzzy logic traffic flow patterns.
But when I want to get off at a different floor because I got to go to the bathroom, I dont need a silicon chip to decide I dont have to go that bad.

People will put up with this crap for ONE WEEK and then it will be time to (expensively) retrofit. I do hope they have ENOUGH BRAINS to scar-in the wiring to support doing it the right way.
(by the way, where else but FR could we be linked to Elevator Design News - thank you)
