I use commaai kit for lane following everyday. Just commuted to Portland. 3 hours totally hands free driving. It was Magical.
Would never go back to manual highway driving.

Feels good to be an Australian and not get overcharged for healthcare while also not being run down by some DIY self driving car.
What's with the nationalism? Every country has benefits and problems for it's citizens, and Australia is no different: just look at the literal schorched Earth outside
The comment points out the rediclousness of the parent comment stating that you either pay $500 for medication or get run over by diy cars.

I listed miles driven. That is a direct indicator of safety. I also listed the number and type of inputs each system has. This might correlate with money, but it clearly also correlates with safety. One simple example, it is impossible for the Comma system to have 360 degree visual coverage of what is around you with just two cameras in the locations they are in.
Tesla does not use 12 cameras for autopilot. It just uses radar and 1 or 2 of the front facing cameras depending on the version. Not really different from OpenPIlot.
A selling point of HW3 is that it will use all of the cameras, so that's likely to eventually change.

#204Comma.ai represents a strange attitude towards life in which you try to turn hard, serious problems (like self-driving), into trivial problems (write some Python and run it on Android phones and plug it into your car!) and try get away with it. It only has a chance of working if you are cool enough in SV such as geohot. I interviewed there once and it was extremely off-putting how clear their demand for fast progress…
I think their bet is to be acquired by a desperate established car manufacturer, hopefully before someone dies.

It seems irresponsible for an engineering company to avoid regulators.
Not necessarily. Regulatory capture is a thing. Regulators, at least in part, exist to maintain a barrier to entry for any new players trying to enter a field dominated by large players. Several major tech companies only exist because they broke rules in their early days. And most people agree the outcome was a net benefit to society.
Uber is not a tech company, it is a mini cab firm
Air BnB is not a tech company, it is in the holiday let's game.

I didn't say regulatory capture is a good thing. I said that barriers to entry can be good in certain instances. In the instance of medical devices, the problem in the US has nothing to do with barriers to entry. If you can drive across the border to Canada and buy an identical product for a fraction of the price it would cost in the US, that isn't because the barrier to entry is too high in the US. The product alrea…
No, Americans are paying 500 bucks for a pen precisely because of regulatory capture. None of the manufacturers of the cheaper version have been successful in jumping the regulatory barrier to entry which the incumbents lobbied for, and tens of thousands of Americans suffer for it each year.
I have a hard time believing e.g. most european countries have less regulation in the medical sector than the US. Probably less corruption/"lobbying" (because corporate campaign distribitions are more strictly regulated in most other countries), but corruption quite different from regulation, even if both affect how law gets written.

Great perspective. Why isn't SDC software held to the same regard as Boeing? The safety framework is the same.
Thanks to NHTSA being mean Comma is more or less or fore-er running(than Tesla they say...yeah okay?) so

Came here to make this comment! Seems like a cool product - but most visitors to the webpage will never learn what the product does, since it is buried in the page.
It's vagueish on purpose. They only want smart people using. It's still a dev kit. Not consumer product yet. From comma's discord: "if people can’t figure out what it is, it isn’t for them"
I still feel like they've taken it a level too far. I already knew comma.ai from past news, and even with that context I wasn't sure if they pivoted to fancy dashcams.
Re: Comma Two Devkit
#210Quick bit of feedback for any Comma employees lurking: It took me a very long time to realize that this was a self-driving solution for existing vehicles. The hero just says "Driven over 6 million miles" and then a "Buy Now". When I scrolled down and looked at the product and read: > We’ve added an infrared camera to provide 24/7 driver monitoring, an integrated panda, a custom cooling solution, and an OBD-C port wit…
I completely agree, I never heard about it before, after looking a few minutes at the websites and some youtube videos I realized it was a self-driving thing you can install on stock vehicles that support it.
Better information / overview.
Look very promising tho!
