Is comma.ai's driving system at all realistic in terms of actual capability? I don't own a compatiable car (nor have the knowledge or courage) otherwise I would

  Depends what you expect from it. I think the official website describes it perfectly well: "openpilot improves your stock ACC and LKAS". It's a fancy, very active cruise control. From I've seen it seems to work really well.

  A couple of years ago the founder was super confident that he would have a fully self driving car soon, and definitely before Tesla. A couple of months ago I read that he decided the problem is basically unsolvable and a human will always need to be involved. He's still right about being "before Tesla" as long as Tesla never figures it out either.

      The copy on https://comma.ai/ https://comma.ai/ has certainly changed tone from what it once was. Now it is clearing pushing a driver-assist angle ("improves your stock ACC and LKAS," "copilot," "augment"). No mention of "self-driving," "autonomous," or the like. Previously, it was clearly marketing a full-self-driving, no human involved system: "ghostriding for the masses," "software to make your car self driving."

        It could be for liability reasons.
