    As per a Slashdot article.
    "
    Hiring a lawyer for a parking ticket appeal is not only a headache — it can also cost more than the ticket itself.

    Depending on the case and the lawyer, an appeal (a legal process where you argue out of paying the fine) can cost between $400 to $900.

    But with the help of a bot made by British programmer Joshua Browder, 19, it costs nothing.

    Browder's bot handles questions about parking ticket appeals in the UK. Since launching in late 2015, it has successfully appealed $3 million worth of tickets. robot lawyerJoshua Browder
    Joshua Browder's robot can help answer questions about parking tickets.

    Once you sign in, a chat screen pops up. To learn about your case, the bot asks questions like, "Were you the one driving?" and "Was it hard to understand the parking signs?" It then spits out an appeal letter, which you mail to the court.
