A lot of commaai bashing here.
I was very skeptic too. However using their system for almost an year everyday, I can deffo say it makes me a safer highway driver.
I have overall more awareness of the road since I don’t always have to keep eyes on the lane in front. I look around more around the car and look side mirror/rear mirror more. Once this asshole driver was zipping left and right over taking and was gonna squeeze through us, I could spot him/her from distance and I gave more space. If I didn’t he would have deffo crashed into us. Granted half an hour later he/she did get into a crash.
Another time, car in front suddenly brakes, system immediately alerted and started braking. Even If I was manually driving, I couldn’t have had the same reaction time. Car ahead crashed, ours didn’t.
Some humans are very dangerous highway drivers since they don’t maintain distance with car infront.
This is testament to both commaai and Toyota. I can set I want 2 seconds-ish reaction time with car infront and it always mantains that safe distance. Really neat.
Also commaai driver mobitoring has gotten quite good. Move your eyes off the road for a bit and it yells with an alert to touch the steering wheel and get eyes back on the road. That alone makes you more attentive.
All I can say is give it a shot, it’s quite an ingenous solution to make other brands of cars, highway self lane following.
I’m not gonna say self driving, because essentially it’s a driver monitoring + alert system + lane following system. Very narrow but does a good job at it.
