More cities using personal parking meters {Engadget}

May 3rd 2006 12:03PM Another gadget to track my usage, travel etc. Pay by cell works fine with me.. this stupid thing.. Many problems
-privacy concerns
-magnet for theft and broken windows (hanging from your rearview mirror? please!!)
-looks ugly hanging there
-bet we would have to buy the f**king things too
-what do tourists do?
-whats to stop someone from making a hack that sends out the right signal and hanging that from their rearview

Rita makes enough money, and should have to do some work for it, which includes looking on the dashboard for the ticket, or looking at the meter to ensure there is still time.
