Get warned before it happens

Everything on this page is a deadline or a line on a map. Autopilot America watches both for you — it knows where you parked, and it tells you before the ticket exists.

✓
Parking restrictions where you leave the car
The app spots where you parked and checks it: temporary no-parking, permit zones, snow routes, meter time limits. This block is permit zone 43, so a guest on the wrong side of that line is a $75 ticket.
✓
Cameras you’re about to drive past
It says them out loud before you reach one — there are 2 within a short walk of here.
✓
Your city sticker and plates, on time
Both are deadlines, not driving mistakes. We remind you before each one lapses, with a direct link to renew, so the $200 sticker ticket doesn't catch you out.
✓
Late fees, handled
A Chicago ticket doubles 25 days after it’s issued. We pay the ones you owe before that clock runs out — and if a ticket doubles on our watch during your paid year, you get the year back.
✓
The tickets you still get, contested
By mail, where 59% of contested tickets are dismissed, with the City’s own evidence pulled under FOIA.
The average ticketed Chicago driver pays $319 a year in fines and late fees. Autopilot is $10/month or $99/year.
