@@aarushxrubikscube2010 to say it’s all George does a great disservice to the Comma Team; especially considering he’s left Comma to intern at Twitter for some time now.

AI is helpful but also, are you reaching out to people in the RetroPilot or Comma discord servers for help?

Some updates in case you missed it: ruclips.net/user/shortsZK4mmyX1saQ?si=K3WCzd0BV8iTxU7A

@@tonyc.0451 gonna attempt the “Comma Zero” which was defunct for a while since Comma removed USB camera support but recently brought it back! Without googling I don’t know the horror game reference. I still need to finish Half Life: Alyx in VR, but got to scared on a level and ran into a wall.

@@bryan.deleon So your custom unit will support USB? Can't go wrong with that unless the USB ports don't work. So you haven't heard of the 2004 game Thief: Deadly Shadows, then. That's fine. The Shalebridge Cradle level separates young'uns from the grown-ups. Speaking of Half-Life: Alyx, which level made you stop for a while? Also hope that you're not injured from running into a wall. I sprained my left wrist in September from lifting cement bricks too quickly.

@@tonyc.0451 yes it will use PC components with USB cameras for road view and driver monitoring. I have heard of Thief but never played of the games before. I stopped playing HL:A during the house level infested with head crabs. The jumps scares are expected but they still get me lol

@@bryan.deleon You don't have to deal with RJ45 cables, right? You mentioned those a few months back. If you've heard of System Shock, that game had similar graphics from the first two Thief games since they were developed by Looking Glass Studios. Some gaming history for ya'. Freakin' headcrabs.

@@tonyc.0451 the RJ45 was used to provide offline power to the Comma units and also getting “fingerprint” data from the vehicle. I’m assuming I have to hardcode this PC build to my car, so it only needs to interface with my ADAS camera connections.

It’s more like comparing grapes to kiwis?

@@roybm3124 holding to overcome any issues I encounter. The instructions seem “light” and too straight forward: github.com/commaai/openpilot/tree/master/tools/webcam

@@bryan.deleon Would love to see the video. Shame your Comma 3 already failed. I think the Comma Eon is stil the most reliable?

@@roybm3124 From what I’ve read, reliability goes as such: C3x>C3>C2>Eon Apparently C2/Eon just suffer due to true cell phone hardware vs the cell phone “derived” hardware in C3/x. Having said, I have been seeing a bunch of issues on Discord for even C3x, and I’m honestly not surprised - I would argue that the product as whole, isn’t automotive grade, even if some components are.

Openpilot with PC Webcam is so close! #autonomousdriving #diy #pc

@@leungjeffrey94 thanks for bringing this to my attention! I’m excited to try this out and see how far up it can be installed. Despite not being a part of the clamshell, it might still have the same low profile to reduce obstruction of the view.

@@theclueguy3388 I will try to see about repairing my broken Comma Three. Since having a Comma Two that died, and now a dead Comma Three, it’s a bit harder to swallow paying a company for hardware that I no longer have confidence in. Epilog told me they are revising their hardware, and would rather put my dollars to that if I can.

@@bryan.deleon yeah that’s the thing that is worrying me about buying one. I’ve been seeing so many die. I may wait for the side car.

@@theclueguy3388 if I was in the same financial position as I was when I purchased the Comma Two and Comma Three, I would take the hit buying Comma’s inferior hardware, since it would be “play money”. But since it’s no longer “play money” to me, I can be content using the stock TSS2.0 for now; which honestly does well enough for dedicated highway driving assist, of which I’m thankful for. What car do you have?

​@@bryan.deleonsorry to hear about your broken comma 2 & 3. I live in a very hot States & my x3 is always overheating & has to get cooled by the AC before it starts working. I'm afraid it might get broken too.

@@ralfosha_x I would suggest buying the long USBC cable directly from Comma; with that, you can slide it out and put it away without wearing out the weak USBC port on the unit. I always brought my unit back into the house because I was constantly trying new forks/models/etc.

@@GoogleReviewer8041 I never unplugged after installing it, and only took it off when Epilog requested the unit. My Comma Two and Comma Three used to kill my car battery, and it made me worried enough to install a solar panel on my hood to trickle charge my car’s 12v battery (not the hybrid packaged battery) - especially when camping. Sorry of that does not help lol

​@@bryan.deleoncomma 3 doesn't kill my battery tho. BTW, how do I get the sunny pilot fork? Is it still the best?

@@ralfosha_x my Rav4 Hybrid has two batteries. The 12v which essentially just turns on the electronics, and the traction battery which is the one handling starter motor, lights, etc. The 12v is what also powers Comma, and it might be too weak. I have a solar panel that trickle charges it for camping, so I don’t have the issue anymore. I hear FrogPilot might be better than SunnyPilot now but I don’t know since I don’t have a working Comma device lol github.com/FrogAi/FrogPilot github.com/sunnypilot/sunnypilot

@@josephyang3260 Before my Comma Three died, it still connected with Comma servers fine using default software - but I did notice that using Forks (not just Sunnypilot) changed many behaviors, compared to default software. Install default software to rule out the SSD. If the behaviors are different, ask the author of the a Fork about it.

We have a 2021 Model 3 already... not going to be buying anything from "bent knee" any more lol

what is your opinion if, 3 was still working would you prefer that or the Tesla model 3? as far as self-driving goes?

@@tannerbleakley5397 FYI, OpenPilot is now available for my Model 3: shop.tinkla.us And I would still not install it. Autopilot was free in my Model 3, and I’m not paying $1600+ to glue a cell phone on my windshield for OpenPilot! For $1600 I could have FSD for 16 months instead of $1600 of OpenPilot and then the comma device dying in the same time frame lol If it’s anything but a Tesla, then it’s a different conversation.

@@bryan.deleonwhat car is most compatible for comma ?

@@HazzaALshamsi-sg4jy I would argue that Toyota’s without “security key” are the vehicles with the most rounded OpenPilot experience. HGK platforms get a lot of praise, but I keep reading about disabled emergency braking systems and poor braking behaviors; but they seem to have the most “potential”. All in all, buy a a car you want - with or without OpenPillot. I’ve experienced my Comma Two and Comma Three dying, but still like owning and using my RAV4.

No. They pull the speed data from the same source - Open Street Maps. Edit: I just re-read your question - in stock form with Comma Prime, the speed OpenPilot chooses is based on e2e training; it doesn't care about posted speed limits since it decides how fast it wants to go based on what it sees in the current scene. Also note, Comma has removed Navigate on Openpilot in their software due to low performance - good choice imho lol

Also, there's services being offered on OP enthusiast discord for comma device repair. Not sure on their reputation though

@@Bob-gt1mq I wonder where MrOne got the inspiration to try GMSL cameras a few weeks after my SideCar unboxing video? 😜 [Jokes of course] But I definitely brought up MrOne and even Gutek to follow suit in that video or other, and still hoping they do. Honestly after trying out forks all these years and even using FSD Beta, I didn’t feel like missing anything on my road trip to Canada with SideCar. Clear expectations and no surprises - I’m in my boomer phase now lol But glad to hear you’re having fun tinkering!

@@Bob-gt1mq Yeah I got wind of that offer, but I would try paying Erich before going that route. I believe I saw photo of him repairing USBC ports at one point - I still suspect that’s my same issue.

@@SamueleContardi oh I didn’t know that?! Sorry to hear. 😢

get a comma 3x much better

@@user-openpilot-frogpilot I was actually buying one of those, but I'd rather prefer sidecar for its simplicity and the less bulky hardware. I'll end up buying a comma 3 in case epilog is not able to ship in a month or so

@SamueleContardi I just emailed them. They told me that they are redesigning sidecar. Not taking orders now.Hope it doesn't take too long.

@@GoogleReviewer8041 yeah, I hope so... I don't know, I like sidecar particularly but if the waiting time is too long I'll buy a comma instead

@@tonyc.0451 In&Out is peak fast food indeed! Regarding improvements, I think my feelings are still the same, and they are minute; 1) I would love to see injections molding instead of the 3D printing. 2) implementation of follow distance change That’s it so far. Regarding sims, I’ve been playing some racing sims, does that count?!

@@bryan.deleon I think that you did mention mold scarring that happens with 3D printing in one of your previous Epilog videos. For immersive sims, I was thinking of first or third-person games that have great stories and RPG mechanics that let you upgrade characters. The game's story would progress depending on your actions and dialogue choices. Two recent examples are Dishonored and Prey. Hope that you heard of them, at least. I *DID* briefly try out Gran Turismo 7, if you must know.

@@tonyc.0451 oh that kind of sim. Besides Cyber2077 (bought it at launch, hated it… but it’s now #1 in my eyes) I don’t have the mental capacity to start a new adventure lol

@@mdkk make sure to check out my playlist, but TLDW: Highway LKAS+ACC is essentially the same (OpenPilot at its core) If you like to code, what to learn to code, don’t have other hobbies, want to spend less time with your partner, don’t have a SideCar compatible car, want to tinker, love seeing wires dangling in your $20K+ car, then get a Comma.

@@LifeandHobbiesVideos very tiring, but I wouldn’t even consider this trip without it.

It now works with Android! For now, the phone is not needed to work. I only needed the phone for initial setup and that’s it. I hope it stays that way honestly.

Well if you have the time, money, patience, and desire to learn - anything is truly possible: shop.retropilot.org/contact-us/ Link above has discord information where you might be interested. PS - I suppose if you have money (listed above), you can also just buy a new car too lol

drivesidecar.com/compatibility

The unit indeed records footage based on its 250GB SSD storage (drivesidecar.com/product/sidecar) but access to the files is not easily accessible - nor would I recommend SideCar or even Comma C3(x) as a dashcam. Get a real dashcam, as that’s what I have done. If you visit the Comma OpenPilot Discord (which SideCar shares its software with), there are many posts where people were unable to retrieve accident/crash footage from their units; do not rely on on SideCar or Comma as dashcams.

Thanks! It’s expensive to live here, but I think it’s worth it. I’ve lived and traveled to many places and yet here I am. :)

Soon!

Yes, safety first!

Thanks for watching! What car do you drive?

Unfortunately -> My Comma Three is Dead ruclips.net/video/vkdO5m5ziJQ/видео.html

SideCar. Price. Road visibility. Stealth install to help deter theft. Mechanically secure mounting. True Automotive grade connectors. Parity with Comma “chill-mode”. K.I.S.S. Philosophy.

@@bryan.deleon Not changing from my Comma devices, as I already have them and love them. I actually like the screen in front of me. That said, I welcome worthy hardware competition for Comma. In the long run it's great for consumers.

“Yes” -> similar to github.com/flowdriveai/flowpilot?tab=readme-ov-file & github.com/eFiniLan/xnxpilot But it’s a fork that only works on specific hardware.

@@bryan.deleon Thanks for the reply! Do they not make their fork publicly available?

@@3rdstoryfun Nope!

And then use a credit card to pry it out anyway?

lol throwback!

SideCar is built on OpenPilot v0.9.x but has been heavily adapted to work with different compute (Qualcomm ARM vs nVidia CUDA), plus the single high resolution camera sensor. No point in running SideCar build in Comma 3(x)… but not impossible.

Hey Tony. It’s definitely a double edged sword, that can be solved with navigation data… but that also opens up new issues lol I’m currently talking with Epilog atm, and we’re figuring out the return details. ;)

@@bryan.deleon Only a matter of time before you own your own unit, I suppose. I *WAS* going to reference Drake's "I'm Upset" again, but even that gets played out. Since May the 4th is coming up, may the Force be with you. Feel free to celebrate.

Your Venza has the same stock ADAS system as my 2020 Rav4, and it’s called TSS2.0 - see your manual. The Epilog SideCar is an add-on device that greatly enhances the stock system. TSS2.0 can’t even dream of this: Pushing Epilog SideCar to the Extreme: Curvy Roads ruclips.net/video/bF6dqH_0I1E/видео.html Unfortunately the Venza is not compatible yet, but lots of work is being done with OpenPilot (of which SideCar branches off of): github.com/commaai/openpilot/discussions/19932

@@myaccount__7269 -Thanks! We also have a Model 3, arguably OpenPilot is better than Autopilot (as seen here: data.consumerreports.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/consumer-reports-active-driving-assistance-systems-november-16-2020.pdf) FSD is however not to be mentioned with AP or OP lol But I’ve always classed AutoPilot over OpenPilot until SideCar arrived - just because the form factor for Comma OpenPilot is terrible since it blocks the drivers view - SideCar solves that! PS - have you been enjoying the FSD trial?!

@@bryan.deleon ah very cool! Ya fsd 12 is crazy good. I'm very impressed and shocked how good it is and way better than fsd11. I'll def be using it if I road trip

Thank you! Luckily I dangerously crane my neck back, if I fall asleep sitting up. So at least the head posture will trigger the alarm, if eye gaze is not caught.

Thanks for watching! I will see if my schedule allows me to hunt for the scenario you are referring to. In the past, I have found Openpilot to work surprisingly well in adverse conditions like that, but I do not know how Epilog SideCar would perform with its unique optical solution - my assumption is that the performance would be the same.

Thanks for watching.

Yes. And fsd requires a $35k plus vehicle and an additional $6k or $100/month. This is $650 flat. You’re comparing apples and carrots. Not even in the same food group my guy.

@@joshx413 I agree. It costs more. You can buy a Ferrari and a scooter, they both get you from A to B. I have a Tesla and a KIA with a Comma3 and I love both. I eat apples and carrots they’re both great. 👍

Thanks for watching, and safe travels with your Epilog SideCar! I only have a few more days with the unit until I have to return it to Epilog. But I’ll try to fit in some “city” driving. I’ll preface that by saying, these systems (including Comma) really aren’t meant for it; there’s only so much the unit can see, even with wide angle cameras. Check out the raw footage (it’s even cropped smaller for the model/AI) from Comma units here: github.com/commaai/comma10k/tree/master/imgs2 - look for “e” in the file names for wide cam. The model/AI in Epilog Sidecar is very likely the same model that has been trained from these exact images.

@@bryan.deleon awsome! Thanks for the info! I Appreciate your work!
