ABOUT
Riding through New York, Gotham Rider captures the friction between convenience and control.
These are first-person dispatches from inside the system—where algorithms meet asphalt, and policy becomes lived experience.
No panels. No permission. No abstraction. Just signal.
Gotham Rider began in Los Angeles before moving to New York City—tracking how these systems operate across different environments.
WHAT THIS IS
WHAT THIS ISN'T
WHY THIS EXISTS
Most conversations about AI happen at a distance—inside labs, panels, and policy rooms.
Gotham Rider documents what it actually feels like when those systems hit the street.
This is not commentary. This is exposure.
WHERE THIS LEADS
Gotham Rider is part of a broader effort to build civic awareness in the age of AI.
