By the start of 2015, it was announced that Joshua Browder had created the UK’s first robot lawyer with DoNotPay, an app that appeals against incorrectly issued parking tickets. After its success in London, the app extended its services to New York.
Launched to New Yorkers in March, the bot app has been used more than 9,000 times to challenge traffic tickets. In 2015, a whopping $1.9 billion in traffic fines was issued in New York alone.
Browder said that since its launch in London, the app has successfully challenged approximately 160,000 of 250,000 traffic tickets. Browder, 19, is actively involved as a citizen in human rights that led him to the creation of the app. He said that the citizens are being unfairly exploited as a source of revenue for the government.
The economics and computer science student at Stanford University is being hailed as one of the most intelligent ‘Super Teens in the Planet,’ all the while being a modest kid. Browder is currently planning on taking on big corporations after his success with the app against the local government.
