Something new | Prev @ Tier, Fantasmo. Working on building a better future

[ilan penn @ilanpenn]

Stoked to announce @fantasmoio partnered up with @tierscooters to create the world’s most accurate e-scooter parking system. We've mapped Paris in 3D and we're implementing our “Camera Positioning System” to fix parking for e-scooters.

This is what American passenger rail looked like at its peak, over 50 years ago.

There was a time when the United States had the greatest passenger rail system in the world.

We've lost that.

America deserves better.

And we're building it: The next Golden Age of American Rail.

[Joshua | Building Trains 🚆 @JoshuaKDominic]

We found a way to expand passenger rail across America without laying a single track.

Dreamstar Lines uses underutilized freight capacity to run passenger trains across thousands of miles of existing rail infrastructure

We’ve secured a memorandum of understanding with Union Pacific to operate on the LA -> SF corridor one of the highest-demand rail routes in the country, with plans for this route to launch service on the eve of the 2028 Olympics.

This is just the beginning. We plan to expand these partnerships across the most important corridors in America. In just a decade, Americans will have a well deserved alternative to flying or driving in the medium distance. Once and for all we will Make Trains Great Again.

@boxcardavid normalize layerheading

@lucascassiano Love the progress. Can't wait to leverage this for our production 😉

[Lucas Cassiano @lucascassiano]

As we're beginning to rollout our hardware, I decided to show a little of what we are building.

A small, strong, cheap to make, Android.

At https://t.co/dwTgwXgJ33 we're making them so people can *own* the entire stack of these machines on their factories, workshops, creative lives.

Fully assembled in California.
No back-doors, all the freedom.

In details here 🧵

[Dylan Itzikowitz @ditzikow]

Last week we hosted @southpkcommons' first ever hardware-only demo night.

See who’s building the future, today 🔽 🧵

@ryanrz @jamesoniam and I could be interested!

@michalnaka @D_R_Farrell @robinsongreig @CitiBikeNYC @lwsamson Yep! Building vehicles to support this that are safer than golf carts, and with city environments in mind. And built in the US 🙂

dm me if you want to learn more

Keep an eye out for @Trl11_Inc. If anybody is going to solve video for space it's going to be this team. Excited to be a part of the journey

@ShanniShow I'd pay $8/mo for this alone

[ilan penn @ilanpenn]

The @zenly app release notes are some of the most underrated content on the internet. Sad to have to say goodbye

[sophia (in SYD 🦘) @sophianaden]

Really great @primetimevc game show tonight.

Loving all the VC / Startup / Tech events here in NYC!!

Seems WAY more bustling than SF!

We'll be bringing this expertise to Tier in order to further TIER's mission to change mobility for good

[ilan penn @ilanpenn]

Thrilled to announce @fantasmoio is being acquired by @tier_mobility! At TIER, we'll only be continuing to expand our mapping and compliance products to hundreds of cities across the world. Keep your eyes peeled for more applications of Fantasmo tech😉

[Edward Miller @TweetEdMiller]

@jamesoniam @fantasmoio @tier_mobility Well deserved @jamesoniam @ilanpenn & team! Such an amazing application of the technology and can't wait to see a tighter integration into the hardware 🤟

[ilan penn @ilanpenn]

Over the past 5 years, Fantasmo has produced real innovation across multiple sectors (AR, Mobility, Accessibility, etc.) and built some of the most compelling experiences and products to date. Couldn't be more proud to continue to do so at the best micromobility company out there
