DoNotPay’s developer Joshua Browder told ABC News that it has helped appeal over 175,000 tickets worth roughly $5 million. So far, DoNotPay has been set up in New York and London, and Browder named Seattle as it’s next destination.
“Whenever I try to expand to a new area I always do it based on demand,” Browder said. “Lots of people are writing (and) saying that Seattle should be the next place.”
ABC News stated that the Seattle option went live on Friday evening.
Drivers who get tickets visit the DoNotPay website or use its app and consult with an artificial intelligence lawyer by answering a series of questions about their parking ticket. The website or app then drafts a letter to the court on the driver’s behalf.
DoNotPay is a free service that was launched in 2015. Browder said that although investors are interested in his company, he wanted to keep the service free. Browder said that his intention was to help those who were oppressed.
