@SawyerMerritt It is not necessarily a good idea. It can significantly disrupt traffic. Take a look at our recent study: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

NEWS: Florida is building a highway that charges electric cars as they drive. The Florida expressway will include a 0.75-mile electrified section and is expected to be completed by 2029. According to ENRX, the project’s technology partner, the electrified roadway can deliver charging speeds of up to 200 kW. The primary target for this type of charging infrastructure is commercial fleets, including delivery vans and long-haul trucks.

Hoping to get access to Genie 3 for a project that could help save countless lives. Any chance to collaborate, @GoogleDeepMind?

We are pleased to welcome @artalebpour to the first CCAT Research Review of 2025! Professor Talebpour will highlight his work aimed at optimizing #electricVehicle charging infrastructure locations. 🗓️ Tuesday, February 18th | 1:00 PM ET 📌 @UMTRI 🎫 myumi.ch/egeey

@ryanjaycowan I paid about $1,600 to replace tires on my Model Y in less than 1.5 years (not entirely a Tesla issue but they decided to put that tire on their vehicles).

Mercedes vs Tesla. Now imagine the refuelling cost... 😳

@elonmusk Where are the independents in this chart? Including them in this graph will change the perspective (at least for some disciplines).

Bubble needs to be popped

I have bought 5 new @continentaltire tires for my @Tesla Model Y in less than 15 months. Somehow, there’s always a nail in the tire, and it’s deemed unrepairable. This is ridiculous! Why can’t Tesla find a better tire manufacturer?!!

@AlexRoy144 This happened to me the other day. No idea why it decided to drive on the lane marking.

How do I stop Tesla FSD from crossing double white lane lines?

@jorge_laval I really like what it does with transportation papers. I tried one of @h_khosravian papers (on surface chemistry) and it was not really accurate (based on her feedback).

a #notebooklm deep-dive podcast of this paper. love it! notebooklm.google.com/notebook/c7758…

Thank you @AirCanada for stranding my two elderly (87 and 77 years old) parents-in-law in Vancouver airport. They have their US green card and yet, your agents refusing to check them in for no reason. Instead they are just laughing at them and ignoring them. THANK YOU!

Here is the third episode of the #TFTC podcast. @LudoLeclercq and Nikolas Geroliminis talk about network-level traffic flow, the importance of open data, and many other topics. Watch now on YouTube: youtu.be/BAGKOd9yI1w

@jorge_laval This is bound to happen one way or the other. The key question is how much new knowledge (fundamental discoveries) one can generate by recycling and combining the existing knowledge?

Now what? sakana.ai/ai-scientist/

@jorge_laval @TFTC_TRB I truly enjoyed our conversation. Thank you for taking the time.

@TFTC_TRB Thank you @artalebpour for putting this together! If people have questions I would be happy to try to answer them here...

Here is the second episode of the #TFTC podcast. This episode explores Self-Organized Criticality, Power Law, and a Scaling Theory of Urban Congestion with @jorge_laval. Watch now on YouTube: youtu.be/rwHfha4yVz0

It was an honor to share our research at the @ARPAE Energy Innovation Summit. Our @ENERGY-sponsored research aims to develop an innovative approach to freight and energy systems modeling that focuses on low-carbon and resilient freight transport. 🖥️🚚

A super exciting presentation by @b_rational discussing flow efficiency and equity in urban traffic. @InfoNUTC @UMTRI #CCAT

@SawyerMerritt I agree with you that the free month FSD was a fantastic idea to get a lot more data very quickly. I think they needed the data for the August announcement/release.

@SawyerMerritt Do you really see a difference when driving 12.x (as opposed to 11.x? still impressive but I see the same issues: sharp unnecessary steering when taking off-ramps at high speeds, inability to merge timely when a lane ends, sudden steering movement in congested traffic, etc.

We're having a massive moment with Tesla's FSD progress right now, yet so few people have any idea that it's even happening. • FSD 12 was a huge step change forward • 1.8 million Teslas got a free 30 day FSD trial • Tesla's fleet is now doing 1 billion FSD miles every 2-3 months (vs 1 billion every 3 years) • FSD (Supervised) v12.4 will get rid of the steering wheel nag (coming in 1-2 weeks) • Tesla is finally no longer compute constrained, allowing them to improve FSD MUCH quicker. The company's compute capacity will increase at least 6x this year. • Preliminary approval to launch FSD (Supervised) in China. • Swedish Transport Administration Advisor praises Tesla's FSD "smoothness and natural driving" after being given a test ride on German roads 2 weeks ago. Buckle up. These are exciting times.

Do you think @Tesla can put their robotaxis on the road this year?

@b_rational @InfoNUTC Many thanks @b_rational for joining the podcast. Your insights and stories made for an incredible episode. Thank you for your time. #gratitude

Thanks to @artalebpour for setting up this interview at @infonutc and taking me down memory lane, from the early days of #modeling #driver #decisions at amber lights to the privileged years of collaborating with the late Robert Herman to today's 4-D fundamental diagrams. #traffic #flow #networks #operationsresearch

Excited to share the first episode of the #TFTC podcast recording. In this episode, we explore the Past, Present, and Future of Traffic Flow Theory with @b_rational. Watch now on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=4ZIek7…
