I'll be adding this to my list of 101 creative ways to die, behind basement apartment in Venice, Italy.
There is a future where every manufacturer shares the same self-driving software.
You already trust your privacy and financial security to open source projects. There is a future where you also trust it for a self driving car.
Neither of which have safety-of-life implications. If your email or bank gets hacked they don't bury you in a box.
This is a horrible idea for a bunch of reasons.
Real driver assist systems are tested for each car for millions of miles before release.
I can imagine this as a toy on a recreational vehicle like an ATV, but it's outright reckless to put this on a real car.
No way to tell without actual testing. As a giant obvious thing, if the adhesive isn't applied right it'll probably fall down during your commute .
At a minimum it should be screwed in or something.
Like I said, it's a cool toy. Put it on an ATV, not a real car.
And somehow half the time invested in the project is arguing about a code of conduct.
Regulations don't exist to save people from their own stupid mistakes, they exist to prevent systemic abuses and dangers to the public in the pursuit of profit. And we already know from endless examples that corporations will knowingly let people die if their decision will increase profit margins. Not to mention the public doesn't have the ability to properly test or verify corporate designed and sold devices. Unless corporations provide all documentation related to the design and materials and code used, they should have special restrictions and regulations beyond what the average person does.
States have window tinting laws to save people (and others around then) from their own idiocy.
The github repo says to use openpilot, you will need to buy a comma device[1], which they sell at $999.[2]
