Did you know you can convert your vehicle into a Tesla like self driving vehicle? A company called comma has released an open source software called openpilot that is an open source driver-assistance system. Currently, openpilot performs the functions of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Automated Lane Centering (ALC) for compatible vehicles. It performs similarly to Tesla Autopilot and GM Super Cruise. Openpilot can steer, accelerate, and brake automatically for other vehicles within its lane. Check it out on GitHub. Openpilot works by taking the radar data integrated with supported car models and combining it with the camera built into comma hardware, to determine what acceleration, braking, and steering events are required. An accurate list of compatible vehicles can be found here: https://github.com/commaai/openpilot. Learn more about building AI systems in the HURU School AI course.
