I've put 70,000 miles on a car with Comma (maybe 50k with Comma engaged). I'd pay full price without thinking twice. Comma really shines on long drives.

For the Chevy Bolt EV & EUV Premiere trim with ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), it can keep you in the lanes and steer up to a certain degree. It greatly upgrades the stock ACC since the LKAS (lane keep assist system) just ping pongs you between the lane.

If you use FrogPilot (works best for GM cars), it makes the driving experience much more pleasant on long highway drives.

There is a mode where the lateral control will keep you in the lane while you can still use the accelerator/brake or one-pedal. If you have an older model, it can still do it but you'll need what's called a "comma pedal" to make it work.

Not sure about compatability in the future for the Benz, but considering BMW wants a subscription for the heated seats, I would say that's probably for sure off the table.

Quote from leeterbike :
Honda doesn't mark up their products. If it's on Hondas website for 575, they're not charging you 30% more for it.
Honda don't also magically teleport it into your vehicle. Obviously it is the dealership/mechanic doing the install marking up.

Quote from leeterbike :
Reflashing a ECU is an hour.
Let me break down your argument:

- The base parts cost of $575.
- This will be marked up 0%.
- There will be a $0/0-minute physical install, and that's before flashing.

I feel like you've never paid to have car work done before... Like ever. If you did it yourself, absolutely $575 OTD, but if you go to any mechanic it will EASILY go over $1K based on the pricing you yourself provided. Your argument is that mechanics/dealerships work for free, which isn't my experience.

I wish a working fork existed for the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. I commute 140 miles a day, and this would be a godsend!

When my car was in the shop, they gave me a '24 Soltera as a loaner. Even that LKA was enough to make that commute that much better. I can't wait for the gifted folks at github can get this to work properly on my car!

It's hardware that runs an open source competitor to Tesla Autopilot called openpilot: https://comma.ai/openpilot

If your car is one of the hundreds they support, you plug it into your car and it will essentially drive your car for you to a certain extent.

It is run by a well known computer programmer and former hacker: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Hotz
Interesting. Thank you. It's funny that their website does not really explain this. I read through the website a bit and it wasn't super clear. Cool idea.

It's level 2 autonomy, meaning nobody is trusting their life to the device, because it isn't a fully autonomous device. In fact, it enforces driver attentiveness by making sure the driver is looking at the road (Comma AI did this before Tesla did, and was a reason George Hotz quit Tesla).

I'm at almost 20k miles with my Comma, and I don't regret paying almost $2000 total for mine. I'm telling my friends with compatible cars to get it at this price.

Had the Comma 1 with my 2018 Accord a few years ago. Worked very well but always stopped working every 12 months cuz of heat from direct sun exposure at the windshield.

Loved the device because

1. I don't need to put my hands on steering wheel
2. It does very well on hwy (level 2 autonomy)
3. My commute was 80 miles round trip on hwy in LA area where I can pretty much free up my time to do something else.

I won't buy again because

My experience with newer vehicles' adaptive cruise/lane keep/lane center/ etc (2022+ Hyundai, Toyota, Honda) performed well enough that I don't think spending another 1100 is worth it.

I would 100% buy again if I drive an older car though.

I'm going to have to disagree with that. FSD works surprisingly well on our M3 and MY. It sure as hell drives better than my sister in law, which is what I would consider to be bare minimum.

If compatible with your car, it makes Tesla technology look like it's from the '90s
I've had it and it's not even as good as the base Autopilot, let alone FSD.

This is new to me. Didn't know about this product so haven't done any research. Is there any point in getting this if your car already has adaptive cruise control and lane centering. I have a 2020 Hyundai Kona. It's the highest trim and so already has those features. My car seems to be supported, but I'm unsure of what this might add.
I would absolutely still recommend this product if you do a fair amount of driving. I had a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe, then moved to a 2021. The 2021 factory system was improved, but the Comma still is just so nice.
The biggest difference from the factory system is the steering wheel nag, and better quality/performance.

Steering wheel nag - the factory system forces you to yank your steering wheel every X seconds or it yells at you. This is meant to ensure the driver is awake, but it's mostly super annoying that I have to constantly tug at the steering wheel to appease it. In flat/straight roads, the factory system was worse than a mother nagging their teenager, there was no need to tug at the steering wheel cuz there were no turns! With the Comma you can simply pay attention to the road and the other cars without being nagged. It's hard to understand how mentally taxing this is until you have a long drive with the Comma. My record is 214 miles without touching the steering wheel (2am interstate drive). Note - the cabin facing camera is constantly watching the driver, so it will yell and disable itself if it sees you not paying attention. It's quite accurate for me, and seems safer and more proactive than forcing the driver to jerk the steering wheel every 15 seconds.

Performance/quality upgrade - my 2021 factory LKAS was pretty decent on the interstate with solid lines, but it is still helpless if the lines are bad, and I forget if it worked at all when wipers came on. I have driven in driving rain at night and even a blizzard, and the Comma camera is simply better at seeing the road than I am. I look at the road and see snowflake reflections and struggle to see anything else, if I glance up at the Comma, it can clearly see the road lines. Maybe it's cuz HDR or cuz polarized lens, all I know is that it sees better than me. It doesn't try to jerk me into exit ramps like the factory system. It also reduces the minimum speed required to start LKAS, so it actually makes bumper-to-bumper traffic on the freeway on my work commute easier. My Hyundai still uses it's own radar for speed/braking, but the Comma is still a huge improvement. I'm running the stock firmware.

That's nowhere near even close to being a true statement... I owned a Bolt with a Comma.AI before owing my Tesla with FSD. I would recommend anyone buy the comma.ai, it is a great product, def a must buy for compatible cars, and its open source to boot! But to say it makes Tesla tech look like it's from the 90's could be nowhere farther from reality.

Tesla FSD will brake for stop lights, stop signs, it provides enough torque to the steering wheel to never have to put your hands on the wheel, it will even turn from a dead stop. It also turns on your turn signals, has active avoidance, and many other things that Comma.AI does not have.

I am not sure if you are just making things up and are a fanboi, but I have no clue where you even came up with your blatantly false statement.
buddy, your "FSD" is going to kill you. It's also expensive AF for a subpar low quality product which Tesla takes no responsibility for.

Been doing some research on this device. It's tempting to get this. Though this is a good sale, it does seem to be too high a price for what may be a short-lived purchase for many. It seems more and more manufacturers are starting to lock their cars down, and even though the 275+ compatible vehicles seems like a lot, the sweet spot seems to be for vehicles between 2019 and 2022. Older vehicles didn't have the necessary hardware, and newer vehicles often have upgraded hardware that hasn't been adapted for this device, or manufactures are actively encrypting the car OS to force incompatibility.

I have a 2020 Hyundai Kona. I'm tempted to get this even though my car does not full compatibility (cannot do stop and go; lower limit is 6mph). I have a long daily commute so it might serve me well. I'm sure I'll enjoy it. But then I think how long am I going to keep the car? I might upgrade in a few years and then what? Am I really to choose the next car based on device compatibility? Not likely — too many other considerations go into a car purchase. So this might be paperweight in 2 or 3 years. My wife is leaning towards buying the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe. But who knows whether it'll be supported and to what extent. I do realize this device is much better than the systems in cars today. But is it going to be that much better than the new systems in cars 2-3 yrs from now? Fans of this product might not like to hear it, but the fact is that unfortunately, there is a bit too much uncertainty involved with this purchase.

Anyone with Honda Odyysey 2019.. guess lane changing is not supported.. any experience?
i have it on my 2019 Odyssey. I only uses it for long trip on the HW. it works well for most highways and turns. It may ask you to take over on bigger or tighter turns. it will activate only above 26mph which is the limitation of the OEM system. Lane changing works fine, but you have to check your surrounding.
