Usually works when one computer is driving a bank of three or more elevator cars, and the elevators are spanning 12 floors or so vertically. The computer will place empty cars at different heights depending on the "stop schedule" it has at the moment. If you stay on after the last selected floor is reached, get ready for a wild ride.
Of course not. In busy buildings in major cities, elevators must be coordinated to cut wait time. Otherwise, all three elevators might stop on the same floor at the same time to pick up one person, while other people on other floors have long waiting times. Complicated queuing algorithms running in the computer optimize performance.
Is it normal to be terrified of elevators?

I can't believe that any elevators in the U.S. function the way you describe. Wouldn't this violate some safety code?
