Just a guess.
If the traffic flow of the elevators can be made more efficient, they may have fewer shafts?
Elevators and mechanical services use floor space ($$$). The higher the building the higher the percentage.
One shaft ~10’ x 10’ times 100 floors times $$$ square foot/month adds up to real money. Plus the car and maintenance are not free.

I wouldnt be at all surprised if it were built and engineered to withstand a 7.0. Is it jihad proof?

It’s a security measure. It keeps you from going to a floor other than where you’re authorized. If you have an appointment at one of the offices, there should be a way to get you there.
Smart for security.

ONLY a liberal democrat could think up such a hair brained scheme..
No way this can or even could or should work..
SOunds like “HAL” of 2001 reduced to “HERMAN” as in PeeWee Herman..

Sounds like one. You get on, do nothing, and get off where it knows you wanted to go. No effort on your part.

Legitimately “smart” elevators have had the technology — weight sensors — for at least twenty years to beat that.
This stinks of Big Brother tracking to me. How about the simplest out of the ordinary elevator uses? It looks like the elevator is too “smart” to allow these:
“Oops, I forgot something up in the room.”
“I’ll bring my files down to your room tomorrow and we’ll go over the stuff before the meeting.”

Yes. This is easily the biggest reason for “smart” elevators, to be able to have fewer of them.

The World Trace Center, started in 1967, was designed to withstand a direct hit from a fully fueled 707, and it probably would have. Airplanes and fuel loads got bigger.
I suppose it depends on your definition of jihad. With enough explosives, any building, even the Great Pyramids can be toppled.

Can we trade smart elevators for smart people’s representatives in Congress? We’ll thrown in smart Obamafoams for good measure!

Yes and no. The same prop was used in two episodes with minor changes. In that episode, the round lighted screen thing was moved to the opposite side of the console.
This version is the psychotic M5 from "The Ultimate Computer" that ran amok during war games and testing.

A smart elevator will KNOW who farted and tell the rest of the passengers.
