Mobility 10x Summit: Accelerating Transportation Innovation Across California - UC Institute of Transportation Studies This event will convene leading experts to discuss implications and explore how RIMI research can inform transportation policy and practice.

Excited to exchange with TOP Univ of California researchers and policy makers on the FUTURE of California's transportation landscape at the Mobility 10X Summit on Friday in Sacramento! ucits.org/event/mobili...

Enjoyed the International EV Policy & Research Network Meeting at GWU, adjacent to the TRB Annual Mtg! Great discussions on zero-emissions transportation!

🚀 New pub launched with former student & U-Macao colleagues. We find decarbonization efforts ignoring heat wave health risks could raise social costs. Then we show how to optimize power grid decarbonization for heat waves. dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn...

1y since my parents' house burned in the Altadena wildfires. @SoCalGas offers appliance rebates for victims but demands install by 12/31/25. Nearly 0 homes are rebuilt. This deadline is unrealistic. @SoCalGas claims to support victims but excludes them through fine print. Not ok.

The Electric-Car Equation No One Wants to Talk About: One EV = 90 Hybrids Batteries are still a valued commodity, and hybrids make the best use of the necessary materials.

Ford's cancellation of the F-150 Lightning is a bummer for EV enthusiasts. Was Toyota correct all along with their "1:6:90 rule"? That is, for every 1 EV, you can build 6 PHEVs or 90 HEVs with equal raw materials. What do you think? www.popularmechanics.com/cars/hybrid-...

QB Mendoza first Hoosier to win Heisman Trophy Indiana's Fernando Mendoza, who guided the Hoosiers to their first No. 1 ranking and the top seed in the 12-team CFP bracket by throwing for 2,980 yards and a national-best 33 touchdown passes, won…

Very proud of former @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social 🐻 & alum Fernando Mendoza for winning the Heisman. He did everything the right way: hard work, gracious, and took nothing for granted. 💙 💛 🧸 Watch his speech: www.espn.com/college-foot...

2) I propose renaming FSD to GSD. It's still not FULLY (L4/L5) self-driving. However, the rainbows are super-fun. It's definitely gay self-driving, and I love it. Tesla GSD 🌈⚡🚗

After 1 week using Tesla FSD (supervised) v14.2.1, I have TWO thoughts:
1) It's truly AMAZING. After not using FSD for ~9 months, the improvement is remarkable. It feels like maturing from a teenage driver to a professional Uber driver.

LOL.

📣 NEW PUB ALERT: This was a fun collab with Toyota Research Institute, led by recent PhD grad Ruiting Wang. We utilize demographic, commuting, and charging infra datasets to determine the placement of NEW charging station, using various *fairness* metrics. 🚗 ⚡ doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

It's hard-breaking 💔 to have former students visit my office, looking for hope, after being abruptly laid off by US Dept of Energy. These students, btw, are often U.S. born and top admits to UC Berkeley.
