Yes. He has a youtube channel where he does live coding sometimes. He also seems a bit eccentric. An interesting and gifted man for sure.
Re: Autopilot on Cars for $999
#23Okay, anecdotes aside... What level of autonomy does this provide? Is it just basically lane assist?
Re: Autopilot on Cars for $999
#24*$1,199 once you add in the required car harness to, you know, connect it to your car.

#26Is it correct Comma.AI sees this as the following statement below appears to say, or am I missing something? If so, why would anyone be using this product outside of a test environment that’s fully controlled? — “Any user of this software shall indemnify and hold harmless comma.ai, Inc. and its directors, officers, employees, agents, stockholders, affiliates, subcontractors and customers from and against all allegati…
It is still very early in its development stage so they do not want much liability.

#27What an insufferable use of lowercase. I can't even identify the products in some text later on:
``` Your first three months of comma prime are free with the purchase of a comma two. ```
Later...
``` The comma two and openpilot are currently compatible with dozens of cars with new models being added regularly. See if your car is compatible or check out our complete list of compatible cars. ```
Why do first words of a sentence still get capitalization but not the actual proper nouns?

#28Anyone know if this has killed someone yet?
I know for sure Tesla and Uber has. Seems like Comma's product requires your attention through driver monitoring whereas Tesla's product is non existent in this area. And with Uber the driver was distracted. edit: Downvoters, i'm a bit confused here, so Tesla and Uber hasn't killed anybody then?
Tesla has something like 4 billion miles driven with Autopilot. This apparently has 35 million miles. (It isn't a direct comparison, but the overall rate in the US is around 1 death per 100 million miles driven).
Anyone who uses these numbers to even imply this is safer than Tesla knows nothing about statistics. It is way too early to draw any conclusions about Comma's safety. It is also probably too early to even draw statistical conclusions about Tesla's safety.

Doesn't Tesla check to make sure your hands are on the wheel (as does Honda and I'm sure the rest of the OEM lane-assist products)

#30I bought my car with the express intent of getting a compatible car for Comma. My comma absolutely increased the utility of my car to me. Been on 3 huge road trips that I wouldn’t have considered without the device. 12 hours on the road isn’t something I would do everyday, but absolutely bearable with a comma.
Which car and what did you drive before? And can you quantify how much benefit you see over adaptive cruise / lane assist / etc that is standard on many cars these days?
I agree with your sentiment, just unsure what your point of reference is and how much impact the fancy AI actually has. My car (2017 model) has the features I mentioned from the factory and is great on long trips too.
