If you’re thinking in tickets and arrests, you’re not really thinking about justice.

I have parked your vehicle in an annoying place

That’s…
I HATE PUNITIVE PARKING RULES.
Just pure vision goes red rage, because the people who get tickets, who get towed, they’re people who can’t afford garages. They can’t afford off-street parking. They have to park somewhere weird because their job is in some goddawful place. It’s poor people. poor people get hurt the most by fines, by towing, by financial punishments.
Seeing someone, somewhere, not do that is incredible.
What do you mean you don’t want to pay $15 an hour for parking?
I’d assume that the legal parking where they’d put you would be the same expensive garages that they can’t afford to park in.
But poor people in China don’t need cars
They’re probably giving out fines too. China loves using small fines for minor crimes.
Small fines consistently applied are more effective than random large punishments in deterring crime. Some cities even have fair checkers who can’t give out tickets, just ask you to get off at the next stop and it’s just as effective.
More effective than random large punishments, sure, but fines are still a fundamentally ineffective way of discouraging whatever behavior. If something is punishable by a fine, that means poor people aren’t allowed to do it and rich people are, nothing more and nothing less.
Fine as a portion of income.
Or better yet, require the person do X hours community service.
Fine as a portion of income.
No, that really doesn’t fix it. 50% of Elon Musk’s income is an absurd, unfathomable amount of money, and it could vanish into the ether without affecting his quality of life at all. 50% of the average person’s income would put them on the streets.
Still better than having your car towed to some impound lot several miles away, and having to pay an exorbitant fee to get your car out.
How can this machine be so small yet so powerful??
The Marxist-Leninist way of life is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
small motors can pull a lot of weight slowly if you gear them right
Dialectical materialism
Wtf drivers who park illegally should face consequences
I mean… They didn’t say but I suspect this is just an alternative to the tow… they get a ticket anyway.
If you’re a Benz driver who parks in front of a hospital, you get your car incinerated.

Does it work on hills or is this a strictly flat-only solution?
smh china didn’t go for the environmentally friendly giant magnet to pick up the cars and toss them into the sun
smh my head Xi is such a revisionist
They actually do this in my neighborhood in Chicago. Not with a robot, with a regular tow truck AFAIK. But when there’s a race or festival or whatever, the city just drops cars a couple blocks away. There’s always a couple confused posts in the neighborhood Facebook group looking for their car, which I imagine is punishment enough

If a Silicon Valley bro had come up with this and pay gated it behind an app called “Parkrrr”, Redditors would soyface all over this.
Lathed
It’d be an insurance option here
Not paying for the re-parking option? Boot time for you
Free cop valet? Hell yeah.
It’s China, individual independent businesses don’t exist.
When you definitely understand the Chinese Economy.
Chinese people must pay taxes to the government therefore they all agree with the government on all matters
In China, people regularly dodge sales tax.
:yeonmi-park: In Authoritatian America, the people are so beaten into submission by the tyrannical IRS that “the only certain things in life are death and taxes” is a common saying.
lol.
To the anti-communist China is both a dictatorial command economy and an example of capitalism’s superiority over communism.
how can they be independent when the owners are Chinese? did they get surgery to disconnect their brains from the CCP hive mind?
我是七之九
oh shit
It’s China, individual independent businesses don’t exist.
wait did china press the communism button while i was gone
Purely from a utilitarian point this is far more effective anyway. I imagine you can carry multiple of these in a police car or have it stored nearby and using this disrupts traffic far less than an actual tow truck. Also seems to be far faster to actually solve the problem which is relevant for critical situations e.g hospitals.
