🍾 After a year of intensive building, I’m thrilled to officially announce the launch of @IMIpolicy.

IMI is a new think tank that goes beyond research and white papers – we’re also building video games, simulations, and experiences to better communicate complex policy issues.

@zdch Very nice!

The capital of Kazakhstan will get AVs before DC.

Let that sink in.

[Greg Rogers @AVGregR]

@AndyMasley Oh hell yeah

[Rini Sampath @RiniSampath]

I’m so pumped about this! I hope you’ll subscribe and share with friends. 🚀

@RiniSampath Can’t wait!

A group of us have been working to bring together people who want a little more common sense from DC government. We’re still kicking around names, but we know what we want to do: help shape our city’s future, support commonsense candidates, and push for a government that gets the basics right.

We’re getting together over drinks on Tuesday, November 17 at 6 PM at The Golden Age. Come meet the group and help shape what comes next!

@santiago__lisa @Lib_Development Yeah, Abu Dhabi is a key example i was thinking of

[Greg Rogers @AVGregR]

@tnertz very niiiice

[Greg Rogers @AVGregR]

@Lib_Development I would've agreed with that a year ago, but we're starting to see faster international ramp-ups in some cases.

Small-scale initial deployments can happen sooner and be scaled more rapidly now, and DC still has a long way to go – even with Allen's bill – given sluggish regs pace

Chinese AV companies will operate in many capital cities by the end of 2027, while Western AV companies will be hobbled by their own governments.

You have can have the best coffee shops, restaurants, museums, bookstores, gyms and even churches ... but it is *impossible* to have walkable cities without walkable schools

A "City" without children is not a REAL one

[Greg Rogers @AVGregR]

Andy really cooked with this one

Having Opus slowly build a giant interactive map of every way water's used in America. Will be updated regularly over the next week as it runs in the background https://t.co/X84rV8OtHN

@AndyMasley This is so awesome

[Greg Rogers @AVGregR]

@dahvnyc the actual dream

[Josh Jacobson @joshjacobsondc]

DC ATEs only fine if you are >11 mph over speed limit. In a residential area, that means going 36 in a 25. Getting hit by a car going 36 mph has ~2x the force and ~3x the likelihood of death.

My wife and I have never received a moving violation - it really isn’t that hard!

@salonium @harddrugspod hilarious name, and i'm so here for this cover photo

Critics said robotaxis would crush rideshare drivers.

But 2 years of data from 5 robotaxi cities says they’re crushing something else:

Uber's rent-seeking.

In AV cities, rideshare companies are paying drivers more. Yet DC’s next mayor wants to hit pause. 🧵
