Openpilot – Operating system for robotics

I’m surprised to see so many people disliking Open Pilot on HackerNews. I have one of these, and it’s a total game changer on long trips. I drove from Texas to California using my Comma 3 and I didn’t have to overtake it a single time on the interstate.

Sure you have to actively be alert your entire drive, but it’s still significantly better than actually doing the work of driving.

I've only driven a driver-assist system once and kind of hated it, but I've always assumed that the mental work of remaining attentive as a passive participant would actually be more mentally taxing than just driving. It seems like you're inevitably going to lose attention.
