English translation:Drive-in Parking Lot
Explanation:
自走式駐車場 >>
This can be simply translated into "Drive-in Parking Lot/Space/Facility".
As it means a Parking Lot where the driver can drive-in to park the vehicle.

And, 機械式駐車場 is the one in which the car is parked with the help of motors/machinery so it can be called as "Mechanical Car Parking Lot/Space/Facility".

agree  Tomoyuki Kono: 自走式 <--> 機械式ですよね。「機械式」と対照されていることから、定義上立体駐車場を意味します。ちなみにBritish EnglishではMulti-storey car parkとよばれます。 http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/駐車場 http://jyusetsu-navi.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2006/05/post_b70...　補遺：「地下の」を見逃していました。失礼。

neutral  Tomoyuki Kono: I'm not sure if 'drive-in' as an adjective means that. Shorter OED says '(designating) a cinema, bank, restaurant, etc., that can be visited without getting out one's car'. 'Drive-in parking lot' is therefore a bit of an oxymoron, isn't it?
