I think they’re being a bit facetious, but the underlying point stands. You need a DIY attitude. And not just a we renovated our bathroom DIY attitude you have to be really willing to dig into understand how and why this works and where it’s gonna not work correctly with your particular vehicle. It’s already an expensive device that goes in an expensive vehicle driving on public roads where you can get cited tickets or possible liability if the thing really misbehaves and getting an accident with it. I consider myself extremely DIY/hacker and this is one of the things that I’ve really struggled to get past the mental hurdles.

  i took the leap and it's been more than I could have wished for. i don't have a ton of miles, maybe 10k miles but no issues. it's just level 2 driving which is better than anything OEMs offer.

    Same, I love mine, I really wanted what basic autopilot gives in a Tesla in my Highlander and it does that incredibly well.

      I also really love mine. It has done what it has advertised extremely well, in my opinion. Makes driving chill. I have a '24 Ioniq with HDA2 and it's a night and day difference between Comma's implementation of HDA/LKAS and stock. If the stock version is like a 3/10, OpenPilot is like a 8 or 9/10. Stock HDA would just turn off randomly in the middle of turns. Its LKAS was very jerky which not only scares you, but scares other people on the road as well.

  Thank you, I was being sarcastic, like the marketing material I highlighted in fact. I don't think it's so much the DIY nature that bothers me, at least it's not the first issue I'm hitting, it's the unseriousness of it all. Maybe if this was being sold by a major car manufacturer in its current form, I might start to think about how DIY it feels, but I think that would be easier to get over because it's visible. As it is, it's the invisible aspects, like the software that's so critical to things like this, which bothers me coming from a company with this sort of attitude.
