commaai··on Autopilot on Cars for $999
It's a monorepo. The "should work" commit you are referring to is about the formatting of the SSIDs in the WiFi network selection menu.

commaai··on Comma.ai, self-driving cars and indefinite optimism
We aren't interested in an exit. Our mission is to "solve self driving cars while delivering shippable intermediaries"

What format would you rather the model be saved in? ONNX is the most cross platform and standard as far as I know, and it's also what we use internally.

It's not like a PE format which is compiled from something else higher level.

I suspect you are thinking of a different startup. We have never interviewed anyone to be CEO.
commaai··on Comma.ai, self-driving cars and indefinite optimism
We believe Tesla is 1-2 years ahead of us, and that's held fairly true since the beginning of comma.
commaai··on Full Autopilot in GTA Using TensorFlow
Over 1,000 people just today. A couple thousand every week.

In addition to running on a laptop, openpilot also runs on a phone for easy mounting in your car.

Think you have the wrong startup. comma.ai has never interviewed anyone for business development positions.

Human latency is about 250ms.

There's no Android GC, there's a Java GC. Python on Android isn't written in Java, it's CPython, written in C.

Python has a GC as well, but we turn it off for the control loop processes. https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/devel/selfdrive/co...

Haters love to bring up the Python, but they never stick around long enough to explain exactly why it's a problem.

Waymo's valuation is based on hype. They have no revenue.

We aren't trying to help big automotive companies, they are our competition. We are trying to disrupt them.

Not really. It's mostly subjective, but a good metric is time between user action needed. We did 2 hours of press demos on highways without a single one. (usually it's about an hour)

In addition to us, we have a community of users on slack with thousands of miles of experience with each system. I think most would generally agree with the quality assessment. You'll also find a bunch of YouTube videos comparing them.

You are aware we are giving away open source software that will control your car, right? It's online today! And it's on par with the best systems money can buy, Tesla Autopilot and GM Super Cruise.

https://github.com/commaai/openpilot

No ability to deliver?

commaai··on First look at Tesla Model S using George Hotz’s semi-autonomous driving tech
comma.ai here, happy to answer any questions.

The open source driving software is here: https://github.com/commaai/openpilot

We have a slack also if you are interested in this project: https://slack.comma.ai

We don't plan on writing a nav app, the plan is just to improve the location fix at the system level and work with all nav apps.

Improved localization / nav is one of the goals of chffr. Through panda, we can use the car sensors for dead reckoning.

Combined with the phone camera, we can get and keep a really precise location fix.

Those are the three players with actual networks of deployed self driving cars today. Granted, we are in third with 73 cars (and 1000's on chffr), but well ahead of every other startup. Waymo has around 200, we expect to pass them by the end of the year.

In addition to this interface, we also give away source code to a driving agent: https://github.com/commaai/openpilot

commaai··on Geohot tries to break Google's recaptcha
lol, comma.ai still exists and is still winning self driving cars. https://github.com/commaai/openpilot We have some amazing things scheduled for 2017

This repo is literally a joke for George to learn Go, in a similar vain to https://github.com/geohot/lowqualityraytracer being about learning raytracing.

Google is "cheating" because they are crowdsourcing labels with CAPTCHA, but then of course there's https://www.producthunt.com/posts/comma-coloring
