Is it me or does @Tesla's new cybertruck look like a sleeker version of the car Homer designed in @TheSimpsons back in 1991. Perhaps like many innovators, Homer was just too ahead of his time...

I had the privilege of working on OpenJustice under @KamalaHarris’s leadership. It was one of the most meaningful experiences of my career. #Transparency and #data provide a critical foundation to effective criminal justice reform. https://t.co/6jqkqIAH7a

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

As state Attorney General, I launched OpenJustice, an initiative that made public data around use of force by police. ⁣
⁣
Our Justice in Policing Act would require this data and transparency on a national level.

If you're in the mood for a little #AutonomousVehicles geeking out, this blog covers some very interesting topics around how to more efficiently build sophisticated #MachineLearning models using Active Learning

[Voyage @voyage]

🧠 Active Learning is a promising technique to improve deep learning models (which power the brain of our self-driving car) with less data.

We are excited to share our progress and, with the help of Alectio, end the big data labeling crisis!

But the CA State Legislature still can't find a path forward on increasing #housing supply, which is critical to accommodate the increasing demand and addressing affordability https://t.co/hDNzICRWeP

[Justin Erlich @JustinErlich]

A good news/bad news day for California on modernizing our #urbanpolicy to address 21st century challenges: Exciting that San Francisco has made Market Street - its main thoroughfare - car-free: https://t.co/rtzikPhJzn

But geo-fenced level 4 self driving is going to be here much sooner than people think!

[Justin Erlich @JustinErlich]

If you like #autonomousvehicles you should consider subscribing to the new newsletter from @olivercameron called Let Me Level 5 With You, if not for the content then for the clever name. https://t.co/VqEI0rWEKf

[Justin Erlich @JustinErlich]

Spoiler alert: true level 5 (the vehicle can self drive anywhere) is decades off. I’m still holding my breath for 100% cell phone coverage...

[Justin Erlich @JustinErlich]

A bit of a throwback but just stumbled upon this great @TheAtlantic article from @tylercowen about how to use an economist analysis to spot great food. Well worth a read for anyone who enjoys eating out and/or economics https://t.co/XTynTRjOKx

[Justin Erlich @JustinErlich]

Had a great time presenting at #IBSLive at the @nahb
convention about the future of #AutonomousVehicles and the importance of integrating transportation solutions into land use planning and real estate development.

[Builders' Show @IntlBldrsShow]

#UrbanMobility enthusiast, @justinerlich, explains how the evolving mobility sector will impact real estate at #IBSLive.

[Justin Erlich @JustinErlich]

With a purpose built rideshare vehicle that can last for more than a million miles (~5x regular cars) and the ability to drive 24/7, it may be possible to save up to $5,000 in transportation costs per San Francisco household, per year. https://t.co/0OhA0ozap4

[Justin Erlich @JustinErlich]

Yesterday's @Cruise announcement of its shared, electric, autonomous Origin vehicle was a great step for the industry. The part that got me most excited though wasn't one of technology but of potential impact & reminds us of the potential that #AutonomousVehicles can unlock:

[Justin Erlich @JustinErlich]

Our team at @voyage is growing! Come help build out our Regulatory & Legal team as we change the future of #mobility with #autonomousvehicles:

If we needed more proof, @sweetgreen has confirmed that cauliflower is the new brussel sprouts

[Justin Erlich @JustinErlich]

Ensuring safety is mission-critical for a successful deployment of #autonomousvehicles, and particularly eliminating false negatives. @voyage SafeStop is a great example of the importance of building in multiple redundancies into autonomous systems to enable pulling the driver

[Voyage @voyage]

🥽 Meet @voyage SafeStop, a supercharged automatic emergency braking system, designed from the ground up for driverless cars.

You can think of SafeStop as a backup driver that's always ready to hit the brakes.

Great conversation between @michelekyrouz and @voyage's very own @drewjgray. Excited about the concept of making self-driving engineering research accessible to a lot more researchers on the Deepdrive platform: https://t.co/KhkmCjzZb5

[Michele Kyrouz @michelekyrouz]

NEW Smarter Cars podcast with Drew Gray, CTO of @voyage, doing a deep dive on the state of deep learning in AV development and Voyage's new Deepdrive project to advance research into reinforcement and end to end learning for AVs:

[Justin Erlich @JustinErlich]

Always exciting seeing our autonomous driving system tackle more scenarios.

[Oliver Cameron @olivercameron]

🚗 Thread: a sample of fun complexities that @voyage’s self-driving technology handled expertly well.

The clips are fully autonomous and in real-time, with imperfections and all.

[Justin Erlich @JustinErlich]

Guess it's officially official! Per @Tweetermeyer Driverless is really here! Granted, in a very geo-fenced operational domain, but still huge progress for the industry. https://t.co/MgUHZ18fF4

[Justin Erlich @JustinErlich]

An e-scooter riding on a bridge?!? A great example of why #autonomousvehicles will have to be able to handle countless unexpected events on the road: https://t.co/xGIa9RvOLu

[Justin Erlich @JustinErlich]

This analysis is concerning for the future of smart urban growth. The biggest engine of expansion is not building height & infill but geographic sprawl, which has outpaced densification in 155 of 200 cities tracked by the Urban Expansion Programme. https://t.co/L8e8eLHv8P
