Projects
Things I’ve built. Most are about autonomous vehicles, and all of them exist because I wanted them to.
Autonomy
Robotaxi Tracker
2025–nowThe 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
Map Boundary Builder
2026Turns 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
Robotaxi History Exporter
2025Exports your Tesla Robotaxi ride history (pickup and dropoff, distance, duration, fare and vehicle) to CSV or JSON.
