I assumed he was a Musk disciple after he took a sabbatical to help with the twitter transition
I assumed that too and wrote him off. I’ve since changed my opinion, especially in light of this blog post: https://geohot.github.io//blog/jekyll/update/2026/01/18/how-...

It also times out very quickly when traffic comes to a complete standstill, requiring manual intervention to get going again, and it doesn't give any indication to the driver when that occurs.
If these things bothered me much more than they do, I'd be interested in comma.ai as a possible solution. As it stands, the OEM radar cruise control is "Eh, good enough, I guess."
The CEO of comma.ai is an absolute class act and is basically the anti-elon musk. Comma is awesome, and more companies should be like them.
I know george hotz was the CEO. Who is it now?
Maybe they meant Harald Schäfer (CTO), Alex Matzner (COO), or Adeeb Shihadeh (CPO).
I was in the market for this for my Pacifica but I couldn't figure out what this does exactly. Is it FSD basically? Is it just lane assist? Can I put an address in a map and it takes me there? Very hard to just get these concrete answers, maybe they just take the newbie experience for granted and assume people know these answers. Anyone who owns one of these can answer? Thank you!
I have one of these and I really enjoy it. No it’s not FSD. There is no navigation at all, you’re correct that it’s “just lane assist”. But the lane assist is next level. I take a few 1,000 mile plus road trips every year and the comma pays for itself every time. Using the stock lane assist, I’m constantly correcting it. The stock assist tries to take an exit, doesn’t handle curves well at all, and any construction o…

sorry not been keeping up. thanks for the info
He (geohot) is still the President of Comma.ai and still owns the majority of the company.
I read at least one thread per day criticizing Tesla self-driving (which has hundreds of highly-paid engineers working on it) as unreliable vaporware, meanwhile I'm supposed to hack my car with some code off a GitHub repo? I'll be adding this to my list of 101 creative ways to die, behind basement apartment in Venice, Italy.

Nobody is making you do this, they're not even charging you for it. Comparing to a company worth billions is disingenious.

There is a future where every manufacturer shares the same self-driving software.
You already trust your privacy and financial security to open source projects. There is a future where you also trust it for a self driving car.
