The huge video data set that their users are sharing with them could become a valuable asset for Comma AI.

They actually already make it available for anyone to buy. $250k for first month and 100k a month after. No one has bought the service yet apparently.

Yes, but what does "observes" ISO26262 mean? The words I would want to hear before plugging this into my car are, "meets", "complies with with", or "certified to ISO26262."

There is ofcourse no way they are ISO26262 compliant since they are not even trying to make it road legal. ISO26262 compliance is really heavy and requires enormous amount of documentation and requirements tracking.

They plan on open sourcing their ISO26262 documentation when Openpilot 1.0 is released. They were hiring (or already did? don't know) someone to help them write it up for release.

It's mandated by regulation in all cars after..2002? It's a port most often situated close to the steering wheel, the interface is a bog standard CAN bus. Where it differs between cars is what command sets are used and allowed (eg sometimes proprietary ones are used, and controlling things may not be possible). It's common to extract diagnostics about the car from this port. For example, when buying a used car this i…

I personally respect OpenAI, Love the data link on cars. I think we should never be frightened of hacked cars, we should definitely be hacking our cars (and trucks, forklifts, lawnmowers, combines, papershredders, robots). Just wanted to add many comments on Can and obdII: In the United States the obdII port is required beginning in model year 1996. The obdII port and the CAN is analogous to rj45 and cat5, 5e, 6, etc…

Thanks for expanding on my knowledge. I have only experience implementing support for talking to a fluid property sensor in an industrial process and not much more. Thankfully, I might add.

Looked at it like a fixed phy layer with some parts of the messaging fixed as well, although now that you brought it up, I remember adding J1939 support too.

Ugh, it was, in my opinion, a bit-hacked mess :) I can really appreciate when things that despite being messy and hackish, solve real, actual problems, and for that, I thank thee, CAN-bus :).
