I bought a car in 2023. It's my first ever. I was 55 years old.
I am a lifelong cyclist and motorcyclist. I love bikes. But in 2023 I had a debilitating accident with life-changing injuries, and I had to stop riding upright bikes.
I now drive several times a week. I still don't like it. But I do understand the pressures and risks facing car drivers much better. Oh, and this car is an automatic, so I understand those more too; I had never driven an automatic before, because I'm not American. I learned to drive in 1986 or so, and got my license about 20 years later. 100% manual gearboxes all the way.
Making cars safer for the occupants and easier to drive is THE WORST THING TO DO. There are decades of research in risk compensation demonstrating why.
This company's own webpage is awful. It merely says:
«
The comma 3X is custom hardware designed to live in your car, and purpose built to run openpilot.
»
It does not explain what "openpilot" is or does, and does not even bother to link to it.
"Drivers like you end lives."

This is a bad thing. It is not to be encouraged.
