Joshua Browder is a British entrepreneur and public figure. He is the founder of DoNotPay, the first website that allows motorists to appeal their parking tickets automatically.[1][2]

DoNotPay

Browder grew up in Hampstead, London. At the age of 18, the legal driving age in the United Kingdom, he began to receive a large number of parking tickets. Noticing that these tickets were issued unfairly, and the "formulaic nature" that they could be appealed, Browder created DoNotPay. Since its launch, the site has attracted an over 131,000 users and saved UK motorists an estimated £2 million ($3 million).[3]

According to Forbes, Browder programmed the entirety of the website between the hours of 12am and 3am.[4] He taught himself to code at age 12.[5]

On 12 January 2015 it was announced that Browder created the UK's first 'robot lawyer'. He ultimately hopes to replace "25,000 exploitative lawyers" with robots which can respond to questions with human emotions powered by artificial intelligence.[6]
