I have mix feeling about comma.ai I like what they stand for and what they're trying to achieve. But after reading their Openpilot code, it seems completely irresponsible releasing the Eon dev kit they way it is especially after their NHTSA stunt (I only reviewed the code when it first came out so things may have changed). I also wonder why this code is not being ported to something like a Jetson TX2. Especially with…

Sorry, but where is a Jetson TX2 module available for <200$?

Sorry for being naive on this, but I have some questions:

Looking at this, it appears that they have mounted this device on a car and just had it taking in all sorts of data to effectively feed dataset into a map that can be used by self driving cars, correct?

If I were doing a project like this - I would attempt to work with waste disposal companies to put these sensors on every garbage company. Garbage companies will literally map out every potential road which can be driven on - as they will make rounds to nearly every structure to retrieve their waste - and will even drive down alleys, apartment/condo complexes/gated communities etc...

Has anyone attempted to work with waste companies? (I have some contacts who work with the bay area waste management company if anyone needs to find out how to talk to them)

You can get a Jetson TX2 Kit (edu bundle for $299, I think normal is Around 599.

I think you’re right. Garbage collection companies, seen as a mobile sensor platform, probably can generate data (maps, wardriving, street view, AVL) worth more than their actual core business.

I don’t know about garbage companies specifically, but all the major self-driving players have or are trying to get deals with various fleet operators to use their vehicles to gather data

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I really like the idea of all of this tech being open source, but I don't think it's logical that eventually it will all be 100% open. There's tons of safety critical software now that's closed source (avionics software, utility and power plant software, spacecraft control systems, etc).

I think society will eventually demand it, all it will take is a few fatalities, and even if society doesn't, I can't help but think that some company will win out _because_ they are open, like Red Hat.

in what way has red hat won out?

Can you buy them for $199 in quantity? A phone is actually a very nice and reliable piece of hardware. It has everything you need CPU, GPU, DSP, two cameras (front and back), a backup battery, a screen and wifi/lte to upload your data.

Unfortunately the code powering OpenPilot is not very reliable. As the OP alluded to it's time-sensitive code written in (very hard to understand) Python.
