" Parking tickets can cost anywhere from $35 to over $500 in New York City. To dispute them, you must request a hearing to present your defense within 30 days. You still might lose. The system is rigged! DoNotPay is an automated computer program that walks the user through a series of simple questions using a chat-like messaging system to determine if and how a parking ticket can be contested. In cooler words, it is a robot lawyer, and it saves people money on parking violations.  \u00A0 You&amp;#039;d be forgiven for any skepticism, but this robot has a 64 percent success rate\u2014it has won 160,000 cases of the 250,000 submitted, worth $4 million in fines, according to its creator\u2014which isn&amp;#039;t too shabby. Plus, it&amp;#039;s free.  The service\u00A0was created by 19-year-old Stanford student Joshua Browder after he received 30 parking tickets in one year in London, according to The Guardian. (Some of those might\u00A0be on him.)\u00A0Right now, the app is only available in New York and London, but Browder hopes to expand its reach to Seattle next. He also wants to incorporate other services, like winning compensation for delayed flights, into the DoNotPay. [h/t: Uproxx] "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
