I am sorry how this a serious product? when Tesla's FSD is mocked for being a failure with lots more sensors and hardware.

The future of self driving is with LIDARs clearly. Just see how well the vacuum and mops robots work. e.g, roborock, dreame, etc.

This is a toy and should be treated as such.
Tesla only uses cameras [wikipedia.org] now and I would be more nervous relying on that system than this product.

I've noticed the few naysayers are those who have never used, experienced (or heard of) the device.

While those who own one (myself included) have little or no complaints.

I've been around long enough to know that I'll never open a closed mind, so I won't even bother.

I will say this though, if your car is compatible, and you're on the fence. Order one, (this is a great price) take it for the 30 day test drive and send it back for a full refund if you don't love it.

I'll bet the percentage of returns after use is infinitesimal.

Is it worth it if you spend the majority of driving on local roads?
Yes; I use it all the time on local roads. You definitely want to use a fork that supports having it control the steering while you control gas/brake (most forks support this; eg SunnyPilot). And you should expect to override the steering on most turns at intersections (I'd say it could do about 60% of them on its own if there is a car in front to follow but it's never as ideal as it could be in this situation). But for normal, I need to drive 15 minutes down this road and stop at the stop signs/lights, you can do that with this without touching the steering wheel.

Quote from ChickenChow :
I think it has more to do with how much access does these new vehicles gives via that OBD port & cruise control. For most vehicles, the unit can't access the gas & brakes directly, so it uses the stock Radar system to basically change the speed and distance control variably to make it work. This is why the these cars have no support for experimental features. For e.g., if the unit detects a stop sign / red signal, it's unable to stop the car because the Radar doesn't detect an obstacle in front and there's no way for the unit to manipulate the radar settings to stop the car (it can slow it down, change distance but not stop). Hence, the experimental modes aren't supported in these cars (without external overrides which could be dangerous).

So is it a genuine compatibility issue or just the fact it hasn't been tested yet? IOW, they probably like to actually test the product on specific models before assuming it works.

I have FSD on my Tesla, yet I don't like to use it. I trust myself more than any AI at this point in time.
You're not supposed to trust it. Pay attention while it does the majority of the work for you.

If you think you alone are safer than autopilot + you, you are sorely mistaken.

This uses the cars sensors and requires LIDAR/Active Cruise to work I believe, your statement shows you've done 0 research.
I am aware that this is product works with the cars adaptive cruise control. I am complaining about the cameras this product has. Anyways, at best it marginally improves what your cars adaptive cruise control already does. Hence gimmicky.

I think most cars that has lane keep assist & cruise are compatible to some extent but the experience may not be worth it (like some cars may have very less torque support on steering, so Comma can't do tighter turns even for highway standards). The compatibility list that they have put out are basically everything they officially tested (hence, officially compatible list). If you do a quick web search with your exact model and comma 3x, you'll likely find if your car works well or not. Also, there is an official discord server that has different auto maker channels where you can find relevant discussions and what the experience is like for your specific make/model.

On the contrary, the cameras on this actually works great in pretty much any conditions. Running models on high resolution feed is expensive for diminishing gains. While I do agree, it might be marginally better than smart cruise control of some of the newer cars, but it does really well in most of the compatible cars. Definitely not a toy but ymmv based on what you drive.

I doubt LIDAR is going to work reliably through glass, and most consumer units aren't going to have that much range. You clearly haven't used the product.

It allows select vehicles to have some degree of "self driving" capability.

Been using this on a Honda Clarity since 2021. Paid $2300 +500 for clarity harness from discord. Drive through LA everyday and this thing does 90% of the drive for me. I'd pay full price again it so good.

The device runs an opensource software that does much better cruise control & adds a lot of features (specially if your car supports experimental features). This should give you some idea: https://comma.ai/openpilot

I have one of these in a Hyundai Product, one of the most optimized vehicles to use this for. I take frequent trips in congested areas, long drives, with lots of slowing and going. I can answer most of the concerns people have based of factual, first hand, use case.

1. You don't need a subscription.
2. It installs easy, less than 30 mins if its completely new to you
3. You can move it from vehicle to vehicle
4. It will keep you in your lane, centered, and away from other vehicles
5. It will slow you to a stop, move forward, and act as a normal driver, hands free.
6. It's not going to get hacked and controlled by someone and drive you off a bridge
7. It's not going to be free one day then expensive the next
8. It has a camera and an SD card slot for footage
9. It's user friendly enough a 65 year old can understand it
10. It is night and day better than lane keep + adaptive cruise + Highway driving assist.

If you drive a reasonable amount, 12k/year, and frequently question other drivers intelligence, this makes driving much less annoying. Had mine for 2 years in 4 vehicles, around 50k miles, it's worth every penny.

I take mine when I travel and put it in rental cars. Imagine Florida without worrying about traffic annoyances.

If you don't plan on purchasing it, don't try it, because you will buy it.

I purchased this for 2020 Honda Odyssey, put in, all car lights came on and fixing car did cost more than the cost of this crappy product. Returned it back. Don't play around, this is not plug n play as it's claimed.

PS: this is not first time I am installing anything in the car just in the case for information.
