Illegally parked cars on the side of the street with a wide yellow flat device called a parking barnacle that is placed on top of the windshields by NYPD that cannot be removed until violation is handled by the owner. AI coming for all our jobs. The Boot being replaced by a robotic metermaid…A line of cars in Queens belonging to people who haven’t paid their parking tickets. Not an unusual sight normally. But these poor suckers been slapped with some new robot form of what was formerly known as The Boot.
