I've been using Open Pilot for the last 3 months (Rav4 Hybrid). I've really enjoyed it a lot on the highways. It also works really well in stop and go traffic.
I'm starting to agree with George Hotz about making driving chill. Highway driving is chill. Stop and go traffic is chill. There's nothing chill about letting a car drive in these situations (pulling out intersections, right hand turn on red, congested streets with people everywhere) and I'm used to my car driving itself. There's nothing chill about your car having unlimited torque on the steering wheel where it can do something gnarly. Making your car do these maneuvers has the opposite effect, making you more stressed rather than taking the stress away.
I'll stick to open pilot for now. I'd rather just drive in these situations. With Tesla FSD you already have to have your hand on the wheel, might as well put your foot on the pedals.
- ProAm 5y agoWhich version of Open Pilot?
- dham 5y ago0.8.8 in laneless mode. Comma 2. Decided not to return and get Comma 3 because 2 does everything I need it to do right now.
- xiphias2 5y agoI started to agree with George Hotz that a half autonomous car should try to drive like a human because that's what humans can superwise efficiently.
- md2020 5y agoAgreed. Just waiting on a good BEV that has full openpilot compatibility, maybe Hyundai Ioniq 5. Openpilot has a great community as well.
- ruph123 5y agoSo from Googling, Open Pilot is more a fancy HUD and camera system that assists the driver but leaves all control with him/her? Did not follow Hotz for a while and the last thing I remember was that he was also just working on another full self driving startup.
