Yes, but the author is a student making use of their open source software. I think that's in the spirit of hacking.

The point is that the original topic is against "startups" where in this example, 99% of work was done inside precisely an organization like a startup, and only the resting 1% being work of a student who simply applied a ready-made solution to his situation. The point is, regardless of hacker culture, there is nothing wrong with startup culture, it often produces great products and technology.

Yes the comma two https://comma.ai/shop/products/comma-two-devkit. If you have a newer Honda, Toyota etc. you can try it in real life !

Won't be working on your Aviato car, I am sorry :)

There's plenty of hackers working on bringing this to old vehicles. One guy got it working on his old VW Vanagon/Syncro. https://github.com/Lukilink/openpilot/blob/071_OC_WATER/READ...

But please don't try it on a real road. Find a spot where it can't endanger fellows. It's possible to find those places.

There's hundreds of people using these on public roadways. Check out the official Discord and the various Community Discords centered around it.

Over 1,000 people just today. A couple thousand every week.

In addition to running on a laptop, openpilot also runs on a phone for easy mounting in your car.

Your FAQ says Comma "openpilot performs the functions of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Automated Lane Centering (ALC)" and my 2020 Corolla is supported-but it already has those features. I read through the site and I don't see the value proposition. Is it that Comma does a better job of it?
