It uses cell tech, right? Looks like a good use for a cellphone jammer.

Parking meter ticket notices texted to your cellphone.

France, the ultimate Police State where they police themselves.

They should have built them to look like Daleks. "Twenty-Minutes Exceeded: Exterminate!!"

@Windhawk:

Daleks? They did make it look like Maximillian, who's 10 times scarier than a Dalek.

Yeah, too bad he was squished out of existence in that Black Hole. Otherwise that hovering Cuisinart would toss your salad real good..

OK this is ridiculous. If they can do this, then they can have Parking meters that detect exactly what car is in the stall, and then send a bill for the EXACT amount of time you were in the stall. Yes?

So everyone gets an ezpass for parking. You get a monthly bill. Done.

@zigziggityzoo: Detecting the presence of your car, and identifying it uniquely are not the same. This uses the same tech that traffic lights do to detect how much traffic is waiting. Big cost difference between that system and having the traffic light determine exactly what cars are waiting for it, and determining when to change based on your street address.

So do we all have to learn French now? The French are taking back our country, one parking meter at a time!

@mbut: I happen to love French baguettes. If they toss them at me I just hope they're still wrapped in the paper. Don't want their greasy French paws all over em, with all their Frenchness.
