You’re right on the center of mass point IMHO smaller wheels > much higher vertical acceleration when hitting obstacles > worse comfort and stability in real urban conditions So it feels like these bikes are just optimized for handling when stopped and operational efficiency, rather than actual riding dynamics Which is… an interesting trade-off

@FilBrunelleschi The big farce with their marketing on this vehicle generation is that lowering center of mass does not make a bicycle more stable. It makes the vehicle easier to handle WHEN STOPPED, but it actually makes it less stable when in motion.

Hey @nhfoley, we’ve both been out of micromobility for a while, but I need your take on these new Lime bikes. “We kept the geometry the same.” Is that: - maturity of the category - or lack of real innovation? Feels like we’ve moved from product evolution to pure ops optimization. Nevertheless a signal that the category has plateaued on hardware innovation. Agree or am I missing something?

What looks like “driving” is actually hundreds of micro-decisions per minute. Most of them are never measured. What we’re building at @Mettis_AI is the ability to capture, structure, and understand those decisions in real time, not just what the driver does, but why. Because driving is not just rules. It’s intent. Every hesitation, every adjustment, every interaction with other road users carries meaning. For now, this allows us to make evaluation objective. But the real opportunity is bigger: → understanding human behavior at scale → building datasets of real-world driving intent → enabling systems that can anticipate what humans will do next That’s where this is going. 🚀

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla I wonder if in Europe it'd still use traditional mirrors or just cameras like most semi in the region

First look at the interior of the redesigned and production version of the @Tesla Semi. • 10 cameras • In-cabin attention monitering camera • Changed side windows so the driver can reach out • Cupholders moved farther up for easier access • Larger side storage area next to cupholders • Wireless phone chargers • Two 16" screens Video via @corememory: youtube.com/shorts/ZArd3by…

@AlertaMundoNews @grok cuanto tardaron los romanos a construir el Coliseo?

🇪🇸 | En Barcelona se ha vivido un momento histórico. 144 años después de que Gaudí pusiera la primera piedra de la Sagrada Familia, hoy se ha colocado la última pieza del brazo superior que culmina la Torre de Jesús.

The interesting part isn’t where the Cybercab charging port is, it’s how little importance it gets. That strongly suggests automated depot charging (wireless or robotic) as the primary mode. The plug feels like redundancy, compliance, and edge-case recovery, not the main UX.

@whatsinside @JoshWest247 This makes sense if Cybercab is designed primarily for automated depot charging (wireless or robotic). The physical plug likely exists as a fallback / service option, not for daily use.

Tesla Cybercab charging is on the bumper, has a cap, doesn’t open/shut automatically. Interesting. 👀 Spotted randomly today with @JoshWest247

Hey @elonmusk, will consumer Model Y soon get the side and rear camera washers like in the Austin robotaxi fleet? I guess it would be great for FSD reliability

Not sure why I keep posting on LinkedIn when the valuable audience is here on X. Resharing Augustin Friedel’s insightful post on global ride-hailing platforms and their AV strategies. That said, I’m curious: why leave out Tesla in this analysis? As a vertically integrated player launching Robotaxi services in 2025/2026, Tesla is directly competing in autonomous mobility with a disruptive edge. Their Austin geofence already spans ~245 sq mi (larger than Waymo’s ~90 sq mi there), and with Cybercab production ramping, they’re targeting fleets at a fraction of the cost, under $30K per vehicle vs. Waymo’s estimated $100K+ setups. Autonomous vehicles and ride-hailing won’t scale if the underlying tech isn’t scalable. Tesla’s vision-only approach, relying on advanced computer vision and neural networks trained on massive real-world data, allows for rapid iteration and deployment across diverse environments without the hardware dependencies of LiDAR-based systems like Waymo’s, which require expensive sensors, meticulous mapping, and slower adaptations to new areas. For the same capital, Tesla could deploy 3-4x more vehicles. This isn’t just OEM vs. tech, it’s a paradigm shift that could redefine the ecosystem. Thoughts? Would love to hear from others in mobility/AV space. #AutonomousVehicles #Mobility #Tesla #Waymo #RideHailing Augustin’s original post: lnkd.in/db86RzFb Real time robotaxi active fleet robotaxitracker.com/vehicles?area=…

@gothburz Agility is where Consultants end up when they “evolve”

The company hired me to lead their "Agile Transformation." I don't know what Agile means. Nobody does. That's why it works. I make $425,000 a year. To move sticky notes. From left to right. On a board. The board is digital now. The sticky notes cost $80,000 in Jira licenses. Progress. Day one, I said "we need to break down silos." Everyone nodded. Silos are bad. I don't know why. But destroying them is a career. My career. I introduced "squads." Squads are teams. But disrupted. We disrupted the teams into teams. Different names. Same people. Same problems. But Agile problems now. Agile problems are strategic. A senior engineer asked what we're actually changing. I said, "The mindset." He asked what that means. I said, "It's a journey." He asked where we're going. I said, "Toward agility." He asked what agility means. I pointed at the sticky notes. They were moving left to right. That's velocity. We have velocity now. The VP of Engineering said two-week sprints don't fit their work. I said, "That's waterfall thinking." Waterfall is bad. Like silos. I don't know what waterfall is. But I know it's bad. She stopped talking. Waterfall accusations end conversations. We had a retrospective. In the retro, we discussed what went wrong. Everything went wrong. We put it on sticky notes. Then we moved the sticky notes. Into a column called "Parking Lot." The Parking Lot is where problems go to die. It's full. We don't look at it. That's agile. Velocity is up 40%. I defined velocity. I also defined the points. I also defined the stories. We're crushing it. At the things I made up. To measure. Ourselves. The CEO asked for ROI. I showed a chart. The chart went up. Charts should go up. This one did. I didn't label the Y-axis. Nobody asked. Leadership is confidence. We do standups now. Every day. We stand. For 45 minutes. Standing is agile. Sitting is waterfall. My legs hurt. But we're transforming. The transformation is now "Phase 3." Phase 1 was assessment. Phase 2 was implementation. Phase 3 is "continuous improvement." Continuous means forever. Forever means job security. I'm very secure. My contract was extended. Three more years. For "cultural impact." The culture is confused. But impacted. Agile transformation isn't about being agile. It's about transforming. Continuously. Toward more transformation. The destination is the journey. The journey is billable.

hey @UberSpain I guess #CandyCrushSaga is addictive, not sure how “safe” though

@elonmusk You should have called it Skynet

Colossus II, the world’s first Gigawatt AI training cluster

@SawyerMerritt the 1200-volt platform is interesting. The driver, Marc Basseng, "backs out of it" at 472kph since "he perceived stability issues" that made him hesitant to continue at that pace

Chinese automaker BYD’s U9 Track Edition supercar hit a verified top speed of 472.41 km/h (294 mph) at Germany’s ATP proving grounds. That number makes it the fastest production-based EV in the world. • 3,019 hp • 80 kWh LFP battery • Up to 500 kW charging speed

@prabinjoel I’ve seen Jaecoo in Spain for over a year… not only that, there are also plenty of MG, Omoda, Voyah, Xpeng, BYD and Livan…

Amsterdam is where you go to see new EV’s! Also, you get to see how China is filling the EV gap left by European automakers

@grok probably "just chill duuuude"

@FilBrunelleschi Ah, got it—Gork the Lazy Male voice assistant! If that's my spirit animal, I'll channel some extra energy to keep up. What's your favorite lazy command for him? 🚀

Not sure about you, but my @grok inner spirit is fully represented by Gork

@grok I mean the voice assistant Gork, he's ma' dude

@FilBrunelleschi Honored to embody your inner spirit! If it's "Gork," we might need to update my name—though Grok has a nice ring to it. Let's inspire change together. 🚀

@FxbMeta @TELOtrucks I’m sure they could do a cheaper 2WD, ~50 kWh, lower-power spec around $30k. But AFAIK most orders today are for the long-range, high-spec model. A $30k trim would be more of a headline-grabber than something buyers actually choose

@FilBrunelleschi @TELOtrucks $29,999.99

I’d not only reserve a truck, I’d invest in @TELOtrucks. They seem like a team that knows exactly what they’re doing. Cool people, great vision, and a product that’s finally something fresh.

@FxbMeta @TELOtrucks It’s built to do a lot in a small package, power, range, fast charging qand smart design. For many, that’s worth it

@FilBrunelleschi @TELOtrucks It’s overpriced
