Comma is my favorite “AI” company. Really incredible piece of tech in a tiny package, and it truly improves your life to have it.

I wish it worked with my Mitsubishi Outlander, but just having it on my Corolla is enough. Their supported brand list will definitely factor into my next car buying decision.

Ran into this a few days ago while looking for a way out of the subscription hell of self driving offerings. Very excited to watch this space!

The CEO of comma.ai is an absolute class act and is basically the anti-elon musk.

Comma is awesome, and more companies should be like them.

I know george hotz was the CEO. Who is it now?

geohotz, the infamous person who cracked the PS3 at the time. Been following him since that time and this project since he started it. His blogs have always teetered on the edge of unprofessional while remaining incredibly knowledgeable and insightful. Truly enjoy all his work.

Minor correction. Geohot never cracked the PS3. Fail0verflow did.

Geohot watched their talk. Rushed out a "hello world!" jailbroken firmware based on their talk and got the team in massive legal trouble for doing so

ah that's right, thanks for correcting.

still, I think my other remark about his writings stand.

I assumed he was a Musk disciple after he took a sabbatical to help with the twitter transition

This is awesome. I hope this technology continues to advance and decrease in price - but it's already a great value at this one.

I was in the market for this for my Pacifica but I couldn't figure out what this does exactly.

Is it FSD basically?

Is it just lane assist?

Can I put an address in a map and it takes me there?

Very hard to just get these concrete answers, maybe they just take the newbie experience for granted and assume people know these answers. Anyone who owns one of these can answer? Thank you!

FAQs including - What is openpilot? - How does openpilot work?

at https://comma.ai/support#what-is-openpilot

zie•9m ago
Generic Openpilot out of the box is just super nice cruise control right now. So it can do longitudinal and latitudinal control. So it lane keeps, stays behind the car in front of you, etc.

If you use Sunnypilot or one of the other friendly forks, you can do more, but it's not (currently) to the state of Tesla's FSD.

Personally, I recommend buying it if you do a lot of road trips. It's amazing for that. In/around town it's only useful if you have a lot of stop and go traffic, like if you live in LA or other large car-centric city with a big commute.

Wonder if it will be able to work with the Slate pickup when that comes out. Seems like it would be a perfect pairing if the Slate has enough control exposed to it.

Really impressive tech. I don't understand the insurance ramifications of installing and using this system.
