openpilot (open source ADAS) 0.9.8 release
blog.comma.aiIt's cool, but how do you know it won't kill you, esp. given that it's human nature to stop paying attention since it seems to do all the work itself (even if eyes are kept on the road), and that it seems developed by a team with limited resources, using cameras only and apparently with pervasive "end-to-end" use of neural networks? (which, of course, offer no guarantee whatsoever regarding their behavior beyond what statistical testing can suggest)
The driver monitoring camera works well. It beeps loudly when it detects inattention ie eyes off the road.
And bear in mind, this is an ADAS level 2. It's not a totally hands off system. I have to be prepared to take control at all times due to various reasons eg. turn beyond its steering limit, roundabouts, traffic lights, constructions. Think of it as the better version of the car's line keeping assist.
I found that it lightens the cognitive load of driving, especially useful when driving longer distances.
And does it check its "mirrors"?
