Comma AI self driver assistant

[Anders]

WOW!

Tampered a bit with the settings and it now beats my former Tesla in both driving experience and FSD experience. Great job developing this!

This might be the best money I ever spent on car accessories or maybe in general. I have a 90 minute drive every day and this makes fatigue less of a worry and also the actual drive more fun!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you BluePilot team, community and developers of Comma.

I know i am super late to the party, but hoping someone can answer this:

If i am 90% impressed with my 2022XLT lane keeping (with ankle weight on steering wheel) including ACC, will comma 4 do anything special?

Does it take exits if i punch in a destination?

It does not take exits like Tesla FSD. Do you have adaptive cruise control?

 

[whynotdairy]

Yes, ACC, and has that feature where it sees speed signs and slows down or speeds up

So, I got my Comma 4 a few months ago. Installed BluePilot, and I believe WD40. I was awesome. Kept it on almost all the time, even when driving local streets and I was doing the driving. Seemed like a good backup.

Then I got some error, it couldn't boot out of nowhere. So I reset it, and reinstalled bp-6 and activated WD40.

Now it is insanely annoying. Worse than Bluecruise. Annoying beeps all the time. Turning off due to inattention all the time. Telling me to hold the wheel all the time (even when I am actively driving). It is trash.

What's going on? Where is the "driving attention" model located? Was it some SunnyPilot or bp-6.0 thing that changed?

Whatever happened, it has gone from a great system to something so annoying I barely want to use it. I'd like to get it back to how it was a couple months ago, when it was awesome.

Help appreciated.

Make sure the Comma is mounted securely to the windshield without any slop or vibration.

Make sure the front facing lens and driver facing lens are clean and clear. Same for the windshield in front of the Comma camera.

Where is your Comma mounted? High and centered is recommended.

The error could be a clue of failing hardware or corrupt software. You could try a complete wipe and reinstall to rule out software:
Go to flash.comma.ai on a Chrome based browser. Follow the instructions. This will wipe and reinstall the base firmware. Then download and install stock Openpilot. Boot into Openpilot. Then reset (not the full flash, just the software reboot) and get into the "install custom software" screen and download/install Bluepilot. Choose WD40 for the model, or try North Dakota (also in the Legacy models menu).

Check those things and report back.

I have a C3x, not a C4, so my descriptions are based on my recollection of the C3x. Some of these may be different on the C4 but should still be very similar.

Hey ya'll, wanted to drop in and bump the links for the coupler since I have been getting a lot of individual reach outs for them.

Make sure to check out the dock integration as well

The Comma will be safer than the ankle weight since it monitors the driver to make sure that you are paying attention and not asleep.

I also used the ankle weight before getting a Comma and the Comma is much better at steering and staying centered in the lane than the steering wheel weight.

The Comma is like hands-off Bluecruise with less nagging and can be used on any road.

The Comma also allows you to manually control speed with the gas pedal and it will still control the steering (MADS option). Can't do that with an ankle weight or Bluecruise.

The Comma WILL NOT follow a route, make sharp turns, or act like FSD. The best description is that it is very similar to hands-off Bluecruise without a subscription and that it can be used everywhere.

There are options on the Comma to stop at red lights and stop signs, but it is "alpha level" software and not reliable. I have tried it and it drives much better to use the Ford ACC with the Comma controlling the steering.

I like the built in dash cam!

I made a quick YouTube video showing my Comma Four setup with some tips. It’s my first attempt so please forgive the production and editing. I learned a great deal from watching @branden and his Comma AI and other videos and just discovered a few other tips along the way. Hope it helps someone else

The number of people that freely admit using devices to subvert safety measures while their car is driving itself is too damned high.

Le sigh.

Can someone enlighten me on what the dot on the right hand side represents? Its the dot that turns from green to orange.

 

[MontanaLightning]

It's the confidence ball.

I experience that some times my speed settings on the dash runs wildly up or down. How do I turn off this feature? Do I have some auto adjust speed on?
