Maybe this doesn't beep at you if you take your hands off the wheel? And people think that is a good thing?
It beeps at you if you stop paying attention, which is superior. Hands on wheel is an arbitrary design decision more likely to placate what a layman would think is necessary to ensure safe AI steering.

> My already comes with built in why would I install anything else? Top voted comment on hacker news btw. Ok that was probably unnecessarily snarky I hope you don't take offense, but it seems the hacker spirit has been fading more often from this site, we used to replace stuff with inferior versions just to see if we could.
Unfortunately, a quick google seems to say no one's ported Doom to the Comma hardware just yet!
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.
I like Comma. I like geohot (I wouldn't want to work for him I imagine it is intense) but I like the contrary attitude and also the product as seen as demoed on youtube.
How does it steer the wheel) Is there like an "API standard" for sending steering direction to cars via some physical port?
The control messages are transmitted via CAN bus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN_bus The exact message content and protocols are reverse engineered. Some cars use FlexRay instead of CAN bus but that has only experimental support.
This looks neat, does it require anything specific to work? What if certain sensors are not available in some geographies. Probably a dumb question
No it doesn't need any sensors. Just needs your car to be on the compatible list. It plugs in-line with the plug behind your rear view mirror and you pick the vehicle model to receive the correct adapter plug with your unit.
Huh, no love for the Toyota bZ / Subaru Solterra. I wonder if there's a reason or if just nobody's gotten to it yet. (It does have good built-in ACC.)
Some cars it does not support because nobody has been interested in testing it out. Some cars will never be supported because they are using an encrypted CANBUS. The list of cars on that list goes up every year. Eventually no current models will be supportable.
I'm supposed to entrust my life and others' to this and they're bragging on their home page about GitHub stars?

That said I am intimately familiar with the code and it’s pretty well designed with safety in mind. Plus your vehicle has safety parameters that limits the ability for the software to do something insane. That said there are a few stories of open pilot running into a curb, hitting a car in the neighboring lane, etc
