Yes, one of my few complaints about the Rav4 is road noise.

Its fairly easy to install. No tools required. There are tutorial videos out there. I used one to install it myself. Highway heavy traffic is where this thing really shines.

The software is open source, some people have made various versions available that tweak different things, I haven't tried them all yet. There are definitely times where I wish I could change following distance or the rate of acceleration.

The Comma2, the one I got, does not. I think they are working on that with the Comma3, but it doesn't use Toyotas built in blind spot monitoring it is a fish eye camera. Not sure.

resume should be the button RES+. restart is RES-

It can record your drives. Standard is 32gb I think and can upgrade to 1tb

No. And if you ignore the sound it will disable cruise control.

I've been using it for about 2 1/2 years. Still going strong. I use it every time I drive. I live in the very temperate pacific northwest and keep my car in the garage mostly. Might be a different story if my car sat in the blazing California summer sun all day. It's pretty easy to take down though. If I lived there I would probably unplug it and take it with me when I parked. I wouldn't want to get it stolen.

No. OpenPilot accelerates brakes and steers. If you step on the gas pedal or the brake OpenPilot will disengage.

Only as much as a regular cruise control would. I use OpenPilot almost all the time and I still get around 40 miles to the gallon. Sometime a little more sometimes a little less. On this particular trip to Texas though I was getting closer to 32 MPG. I had a big container strapped to the roof which affected my aerodynamics. (You can see it in the intro to the first of this 3 part series, Day1) I also think that speed plays a big factor, Idaho through Texas freeway speed limits are 80 MPH, so I was often going 90 MPH (140 KPH) or more. At those speeds it's hard to get good mileage.

Nope. I haven’t deviated from the main fork yet. Maybe I will try it out this weekend

It is Stock. I haven't tried any of the other forks yet. ...and no they haven't implemented slowing down for corners yet unfortunately. I would also like them to slow down for speed zone changes. The Toyota can recognize speed limit signs and displays them on the dashboard. I don't see why it wouldn't be possible for the Comma to see that message and just the speed proportionally. Maybe someday.

As of now (March 5th 2022), none of the 2022 Rav4's will work with OpenPilot. Toyota started using a new supplier for their radar\camera assembly in the 2022 models. This new part hasn't been adapted for OpenPilot yet. When you first install OP it will 'fingerprint' your car to determine what make/model it is. That way it will know what kind of messages to expect from your car's electronics. This new part is the same as the 2018-2020 Camry, which is fully supported by OP. So if you can figure out how to fingerprint your 2022 RAV4 as a 2018 Camry you are all set. There is a way, allegedly, but it's pretty technical. Here is the discussion I am referencing. github.com/commaai/openpilot/discussions/23611 Follow along for updates. I believe a fix will be coming soon, next few months maybe, as more and more people buy these 2022 Rav4's, one of them is bound to be a software engineer with an interest in autonomous driving. OpenPilot is open source software which means the code is freely available. Anybody with knowledge can tinker with it and release new branches of code, opening up more supported vehicles or adding new features.

@@MixMasterMinix thanks for the update

I am told there is a branch of OpenPilot that will work for 2022 Rav4's! When you are setting the device up from scratch, you can choose the manual install and use installer.comma.ai/alancyau/patch-2 when you get to the installer. I will test it out if I can find somebody in the pacific northwest with a 2022. Maybe a rental car? How long does it take for rental agencies to get the latest car models?

@@MixMasterMinix haha. Good luck getting a rental. I waited 4 months for mine to come in and the sales person told me they probably won’t catch up on orders for probably a year or more.

​@@roxxigirl1320 When I went to comma 3 website and looked up for Kia Sportage, I only see the year 2023 and 2024 for the harness, does that mean it's only for those 2 years and can't use it for the 2021 Kia Sportage?

I will research this further when I get a chance but my first guess is maybe your version of Toyota Safety Sense is too new. I heard a rumor that Toyota was going to encrypt the communications. Don’t give up though. There is probably a way around it.

Forums say Toyota has switched to a new radar part number starting with the 2022 model. (19-21 radar part #8821006050) (2022 radar part #882100R020) The new 2022 part is a Continental branded radar like the 2018-2020 Camry. One user Fingerprinted the 2022 RAV4 Hybrid as a CAR.CAMRYH and got OP to engage. The bad news is fingerprinting one car as another car seems like a complicated procedure out of the reach of the average person. The good news is that there are people that have identified the problem and the solution and are working on it. I expect a fix will come soon.

谢谢，我玩得很开心

The car is a 2021 Toyota Rav 4, but just about any car with Lane Keep Assist will work. Over 150 cars are supported. Here is a list github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/master/docs/CARS.md I had no idea.

You also don’t need lane markings. The built in Toyota Safety Sense needs clear lane markings. Not so with Open Pilot. I did a couple test videos to demonstrate on gravel roads and on the beach. I think you might be underestimating how awesome it is to resume after a stop though. That one alone sells it for me. Stop and Go rush hour traffic is where this thing really shines. Also it is pretty amazing to hit a long stretch of highway, take your hands off the wheel, and just chill, while your car drives you to the destination. There are other forks of the open source code that people are working on to add other features. No nudge lane changing for example.

It is legal. Maybe only because it isn't well know yet. This thing is really good at preventing driver distraction though. It tracks your eye movements and if you look away for just a couple seconds it will start getting mad. It is very hard to text and drive with this thing for example. It won't let you. Every car should have this.

Thanks for watching! It's been a bit since my last video. I just got my car back from the autobody shop. Somebody hit me in a parking lot. Insurance fixed it. I'm ready to get back out there. Stay tuned!

Yes! OpenPilot's motto is to "make driving chill". It's awesome. At first I was a little nervous letting go, but now it's second nature. I can truly relax. Even on this this trip with cruising speed set at 85mph.

Please, don't grab a beer

@@justicem5919Yeah agreed, whisky gets you drunk faster.

Hahaha, no I just like to push the limits

Thanks for watching! I love the Rav4. I'm probably going to stick with this product line and upgrade every 4 or 5 years to a newer model as the tech improves. I wouldn't be surprised if the 2026 Rav4 has it's own autopilot. Anyway now that the major road trip project is out of the way I can return to regular easier to edit videos. I might do a few segments from that trip in real time. The rainstorm in Texas for example, or the heavily winding highway coming up out of eastern Oregon. Maybe the bit in New Mexico where the Comma2 had some kind of USB fault and I had to unplug it while driving.

I’m using stock. Although I’m considering trying some forks out. Nudge less lane changes would have been great on that Texas trip.

Yep. Totally laneless. I've never turned lane markings on.

haha

Not very often. Once you're on the highway it's pretty smooth sailing. Generally you only have to take over when you come upon a turn so steep that they post the yellow caution signs to lower the speed limit. OpenPilot at the moment cant read those signs or recognize when it needs to slow down for a turn. If I had to guess roughly, I would say once per hour of driving.

Open Pilot is open sourced, which means people can mod it to do different things and post for others to use as long as it doesn't violate safety standards like driver awareness monitoring for example. There are forks available that will allow automatic lane changes with blinker. You set the blinker and it will wait 2 seconds or for a wheel nudge, whichever comes first. The mount sticks to the window with a fairly strong adhesive. The Comma2 can be easily removed on and off of that mount. In fact my Day2 video coming out very soon, shows me removing the Comma2 device while driving.

Yep, Comma2. As of the date of this post, I don't see a compelling reason to spend double the ca$h for comma3.

@@MixMasterMinix thanks for telling

Yes. OpenPilot doesn’t act on that info though. I wish it did. Like if I’m doing 75mph in a 70mph zone and the speed limit changes to 60, OpenPilot should take me down to 65.

@@MixMasterMinix Well with the way I drive I would need to be slowed down when the speed limit drops to 60 ;)

@@GinEric84 haha, me too!

Thanks for watching! The hills coming out of eastern Oregon were brutal. A little too much for Open Pilot there, at least at the speeds I was travelling. I had to take over steering duty for a bit. Just on the worst of them. I probably could have tucked in behind one of the big rigs heading up the hill, matching his speed and let Open Pilot carry on. I'm currently editing the next video in the series. Boise to Moab. Great drive.

@@MixMasterMinix It's my pleasure, I look forward to seeing the rest of your journey to Texas with OpenPilot. My office is located in Addison, Texas and I've made the treck down there once from the PNW. Seems like it would be a lot easier with OpenPilot.

Yes. Practically plug and play. Power it up. Connect to Wifi. Download the software. Physically installing in the car took me 20 minutes. No tools.

There are different ‘forks’ (modified code from various people) you can install if you want to try more experimental features but I haven’t tried that yet myself.

Haha! I assume you mean sick? First I used goprotelemetryextractor.com/free/ to extract the GPS data from the GoPro footage, then I plugged that data into Google Earth Pro to create the tour. I followed this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWq3ZHecatiEaqc The video editor I use is the OpenSource and free ShotCut and it allows me to put the picture in picture like I did.

@@MixMasterMinix well done!
