Bucharest. This is the article about it [1], in Romanian but google translate can help, and especially you can see a photo of one of those cars at the very star

  But how's that actually working in practice? Because last time I checked illegal street parking in Bucharest is still a shitshow where all drivers just park wherever they want because the chance of the police actually fining them is super small. So is that more for show and fearmongering drivers to not park illegally or do they actually issue and chase down fines now?

    You park on a designated place and you have to pay before the AI car comes and catches you, if not, presumably you get a fine. There are still some “manual” check-ups done by people walking on foot and checking your car plates in that grand central system of theirs, those can also give you fines. As for the parking in Bucharest, things have definitely changed in the last 2-3 years, especially because of technology. The main Town Hall and some of the district Town Halls (we have six) have realized that charging people for parking money is a very handy tax, and because tech has made it a lot easier to put in place and to enforce it’s basically free money for them.
