#2George Hotz continues to keep blowing up the tech space somehow. I legitimately wonder if he's a savant, because he seems unstoppable. I did hear he has also stood on the shoulders of giants to get to where he is as well, so who knows.

#3The most surprising part about this to me is that there seems to be a somewhat standardized computer interface for controlling cars with an external device. I would never have guessed that, I thought for sure every maker would come up with their own unique design and require you to buy adapters or whatnot.

#4It is clearly labeled "level 2" so calling that "autonomy" is misleading.

#5Very nicely executed device with a good price point. Of course it's an utter nightmare with regards to privacy and I'd be very nervous regarding security and safety when I'd hand over the controls of my car to basically an android phone. Maybe I skimmed over it but I'd be interested in knowing which phones they use exactly.
So I applaud the engineering but it's not a device I'd buy (and yes I do own and carry around a cell phone).

We are all standing on the shoulders of giants to be honest.

According to the article it is a LeEco Le Pro 3

The android phone they use for the comma two is a LeEco Le Pro 3.

#9The project contains software that acts as functional safety software in a vehicle, so ISO 26262 should apply. I couldn't find any reference to this in the repository or landing page?
Some sources mention it is for research only purposes (in closed roads?), others advertise this as a CES consumer product, has the project evolved along the way?
Each car manufacturer has to provide a battery of tests to regulators for each vehicle and sub-system within each vehicle. This project claims to be safe to use on more than 100 separate vehicles, perhaps I am missing something but this claim would require a considerable amount of evidence.
I am all for open-source and experimentation but in cases where we cannot provide guarantees, this should be done on a private road at your own risk.

#10I can see this influencing my next vehicle purchase.
For those who are familiar with the project - what is the security situation like?
