Openpilot is not on par with Autopilot. There's a long list of things Autopilot can do that Openpilot will never be able to do with existing hardware.

Sure it has a few more cameras for a greater margin of safety, but its' effective capabilities are the exact same. It's still completely reliant on tracking lane lines, the user has to disengage at stop lights, and it can't make 90 degree city street turns. The only real difference I can see is automatic lane switching, which is available in some Openpilot forks.
- notaki 7y agoSuch as Navigate on Autopilot(freeway interchanges and exits), speed based lane changing, merging, object detection. There are 8 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors, and a radar. They are not the same.
- andyh2 7y agoOf that long list, what do you think Tesla owners value the most? ACC+Lane Keeping (what openpilot does) is the answer: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D4y0Fb7XsAEKhFh.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D4y0Fb7XsAEKhFh.jpg
- notaki 7y agoWell yes, of course those are valued highest. What's the point of auto lane changing if you can't ACC and lane keep?
