Projects

Things I’ve built. Most are about autonomous vehicles, and all of them exist because I wanted them to.

Autonomy

  1. Robotaxi Tracker

    2025–now

    The independent, community-powered record of the robotaxi rollout, and a go-to data source for reporters covering autonomy.

    • Tracks Tesla, Waymo, Zoox and Avride across 15 live U.S. markets: a plate-level vehicle registry, live wait times, rider-synced fares and official service areas
    • Computer vision on 600+ Austin traffic cameras, logging roughly half a million detections a day
    • Primary records from TxDMV, California DMV, Arizona MVD, NHTSA and CPUC, with AI summaries that make filings readable
    • Reverse-engineered operator apps to sample availability, surfacing service and pricing changes before they were announced
    • Crowdsourced spotting with review, badges and leaderboards; the methodology publishes lower bounds, not guesses
    • Cited by The Verge, CNBC, The New York Times, Business Insider, Electrek and Gizmodo; presented at RIDE AI 2026

  2. Map Boundary Builder

    2026

    Turns a screenshot of any robotaxi service map into a georeferenced GeoJSON polygon.

    • A small ONNX segmentation model, trained on synthetic maps, finds the service area in any provider’s style: fills, outlines, dashed strokes, light or dark basemaps
    • OCR reads the map’s labels and OpenStreetMap geocoding works out the city on its own
    • Fits a rotation-aware Web Mercator transform from label control points, with residual checks and optional refinement against OSM roads
    • Ships as a CLI, a local browser workspace and a hosted app

    Exports your Tesla Robotaxi ride history (pickup and dropoff, distance, duration, fare and vehicle) to CSV or JSON.
