Sure there is, depending on what you’re doing and where you live. There’s all sorts of things you could do that would make a vehicle no longer street legal and/or a danger to yourself and others. And I would hope people would take the latter very seriously, even if what they’re doing isn’t illegal.
And nothing described here makes a vehicle no longer street legal. This stuff is well within the realm of perfectly legal car modifications.

Oh, I'm not saying car companies are perfect and I'm well aware that the way the sausage gets made is nowhere as rigorous as we'd like (just take the Toyota unintended acceleration debacle!) I'm just saying I wouldn't add on top of that something that's essentially a phone app. If nothing else, injecting stuff into your car's critical data bus seems like a bad idea. What if that less-than-carefully-written firmware y…
While it was revealed at the Toyota software was terrible, was it actually shown to be the cause of the acceleration problems? Mostly it was the floor mats and people hitting the wrong pedal.

This is extremely reckless
>This is extremely reckless I find driving without it to be reckless at this point. Humans are susceptible to distraction, OpenPilot is not.

I had no idea the software was in use and this stable! Is the discord community the best way to follow progress or are there other resources?
>I had no idea the software was in use and this stable! Is the discord community the best way to follow progress or are there other resources? Yep, the Discord is super active and there's plenty of people to help you out if you hit any snags. But the hardware is super easy to install and ready to go if you have a compatible car. There's also a lot of active Youtubers like ku7 ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXmUBv…

One side of me agrees, the other thinks of the Wright brothers. Oh wait, they got someone killed.
I am genuinely interested, do you think that the Wright Brothers should not have developed the technology that they did because of the risk that someone would get killed? I am having trouble imagining any way (at least at the time, but probably today as well) of inventing manned flight without anybody dying in the process.
For manned flight it was totally worth the risk.

With respect to Python and RTOS, this is a copy paste of what I posted few months ago on a similar thread, here on HN: ---- No safety relevant code is written in Python. All the safety relevant code runs real-time on a STM32 micro (inside the Panda), it's written in C and it's placed at the interface between the car and the EON. This code ensures the satisfaction of the 2 main safety principles that a Level 2 driver…
The question in mind is, how do you ensure that the safety code does not have a bug which makes it impossible to disengage the system.
I work as a lead autonomous vehicle engineer. Here's a few thoughts: * This isn't really open-source. The most important part, the neural network perception pipeline, is closed sourced. Without the training data and the network architectures, the supporting code is not that useful. * This system is non-deterministic, which is a no-no in critical systems like autonomous vehicle. There's no guarantee that vehicle detec…
