I've been using Open Pilot for the last 3 months (Rav4 Hybrid). I've really enjoyed it a lot on the highways. It also works really well in stop and go traffic.
I'm starting to agree with George Hotz about making driving chill. Highway driving is chill. Stop and go traffic is chill. There's nothing chill about letting a car drive in these situations (pulling out intersections, right hand turn on red, congested streets with people everywhere) and I'm used to my car driving itself. There's nothing chill about your car having unlimited torque on the steering wheel where it can do something gnarly. Making your car do these maneuvers has the opposite effect, making you more stressed rather than taking the stress away.
I'll stick to open pilot for now. I'd rather just drive in these situations. With Tesla FSD you already have to have your hand on the wheel, might as well put your foot on the pedals.
So from Googling, Open Pilot is more a fancy HUD and camera system that assists the driver but leaves all control with him/her?
Did not follow Hotz for a while and the last thing I remember was that he was also just working on another full self driving startup.
