Entertaining
It's hugely entertaining watching citizens and visitors standing around in awestruck wonder and confusion trying to figure out how these things work. All instruction is carefully prepared by the same firm in Taiwan that writes the manuals for those $10 devices found at your local computer store. Wild overpayment is the usual result. Particularly good fun at -3C or so with a nice freezing rain coating the surfaces.

Hassle-free parking meters
Why not simply allow a user to log in when parking and log out when leaving? This would avoid having to estimate how long you may be parked and possibly running out of time.

We have these in Austin, too
All it means it that instead of paying with coins, the city now has a credit car record of everywhere I park, and when, and for how long. Big Brother is watching.
