A drive to Taco Bell

In February 2022, we promised a drive to Taco Bell by the end of the year. Today, we're delivering on that promise.

Congratulations on the progress with such a small team! Very inspiring to see the improvements over the years.

[@yskwong]

The community is super helpful, probably one of the best I've ever seen.

[@everypizza]

​@@yskwong All open source communities are extremely kind and helpful, to be fair.

[@Ronobuildstech]

Congratulations .This is a win not only for comma but for all mankind as well💯

[@reggieoverton121]

Great job Comma team.

[@LoganLeGrand]

Great job comma team! The progress has been amazing over the past year!

[@sbomorse]

1:36 it drives over the exit chevron which is potentially very dangerous and then at 1:42 it ends up half in the other lane. Another very dangerous manoeuvre.

[@ralphdee1]

In 2022.... This is 2024 with the Comma x3. I'll be getting it

[@twilsonco]

Love it when autonomous driving companies follow through on promises!

[@wyattnoise]

@@Unkn0wnz_anon I actually think that’s why George Hotz resigned Twitter lol Elon realized he was a competitor and started acting weird… Time to go!

[@DarkCloudVapors]

?? Where and when did we get this lol 😂 I still can’t make a 20min turn on basic road or not have to grab the wheel to avoid hitting a car in the lane next to me because it can’t center or handle slight turns. Sometimes does sometimes doesn’t lol. I don’t see a promise met at all years past and they made us one video where there went to tacobell and at one point you see him nearly miss sideswiping a car in an exit. And not to mention this taco is for one car only and that one in video is all. So no no promises met no taco by end of year. It’s no different then mark saying meta has legs and only find out that it was all cgi and they never had the feature. Just hopes of but faked it to make the sales. Same here. Exact same. Like I said been writing comma for a month with no reply so they will not support you after purchase I can promise that and even show screenshots of everything. Wanted to love this company but I only love the device. Not the owners or the community. Unfortunately. When I got my bolt euv joined a group best group of my life these people would give the shirt off their back for you. Then comma group I join and nothing but hate and toxicity. People ignore you tell you to know or learn yourself. It’s just a totally different beast. They will rip the shirt off your back before ever taking off their own and that is being nice. Lol. They kick you from the groups as well if they don’t agree with you or don’t want to help. I can also show that where I’ve been kicked out of these multiple times because that discord is all a powertrip ran by a hand full

[@twilsonco]

@@DarkCloudVapors well. They said they would drive to taco bell without disengagement using open source code. They did that. I sympathize with your complaints though.

[@GEMSofGOD_com]

Not some Neuralink that's proven itself a SCAM from the very first date!

[@chaseme9860]

"without a disengagement" Only if you believe those sketchy over the line curves are not an issue.

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

teslas also crash without disengagement 😂

[@michaelbrodie9622]

This is so awesome! I'm stoked that I just bought a Comma 3 a couple of weeks ago. Welcome to the future!

[@kdizzy07]

Amazing work! Now, to one-up Tesla's 2019 demo, I would love a member of the community to recreate this.

[@ashlynnneumann5063]

Bravo! I can’t wait to buy one of these units. You guys are doing great work, George

[@fantinuum1040]

Technically, you didn't go to Taco Bell. I didn't see the car pull in and park . . . Just kidding. I'm just giving you guys a hard time. This is VERY impressive! I bought a Comma 3 during 2021's Black Friday sale as an early Christmas present for myself. I have been addicted since day one. I cannot go back to traditional driving. I just enabled the Experimental mode last night to try out end-to-end longitudinal planning. Yes, it's not perfect, but it's still damn impressive. I'm very much looking forward to Comma's continued evolution and enhancements!

[@turek737]

1:42 that was dangerous.

[@DarkCloudVapors]

I woulda grabbed wheel there lol 😂

[@abemore]

Yep, near death experience.

[@ardoren5442]

A truly remarkable and monumental achievement on your journey to full autonomy. Congratulations to the comma team on your amazing work!

[@mrdbourke]

Huge effort Comma team! Absolutely inspiring work!

[@CH-eg5rd]

Congrats to the team! Been a C2 user since their release. My car doesn't support OP long but I'm still excited to see this achievement.

[@YesitisDex]

How are you a C2 user but your car doesn't support OP long? I am confused.

[@CH-eg5rd]

@@YesitisDex There a some cars that support OP long and some that do not. They have a handy chart on their website that shows each car's capabilities. In my case openpilot handles lateral control (steering) while my car's stock ACC system manages longitudinal control (gas/brake). The downside is that my car would never receive features such as stopping for stop signs or red lights because openpilot can't control the gas/brake. For some cars it's a matter of software development meaning future longitudinal control is possible but with others it is a hard limitation.

[@YesitisDex]

@@CH-eg5rd Got it. thank :)

[@ebonk]

Keep up the good work Comma team! Appreciate the hard work and please keep posted on the progress. Thanks!

That is pretty awesome. I'd love to have this for my EV6.

So impressive guys. I've been thinking for a while to add this to my parents Lexus as they've been dying for an aid while driving cross country. I'm gonna pick one of these up today

[@mmafan2223]

Impressive, still looks dangerous. Ate the center line @ 1:40, that was dangerous.

[@keco185]

Is the comma 3 hardware capable of checking for cross traffic at unprotected intersections or will there need to be a version 4? Can it see to the left and right that far?

[@YesitisDex]

This is my question too.

[@shreyasdaniel627]

Excellent work team! open source ftw

[@ErichMoraga]

Congrats! That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind...

[@user-jq1vg9ow9y]

Wow, this is awesome!! Well done Comma Team! Love the EV6 interior!!

[@monkeyman8644]

60% of the time, it works every time

[@yuichiroaoki]

1:54 incredible turn!

[@leptoon]

I wonder how many times they had to record this before they could have a run where they didn't need to stop for a pedestrian, because Comma doesn't detect pedestrians.

[@LinuxinaBit]

It's end to end machine learning, it doesn't detect them on purpose but if people stop for them in it's training data, then it will stop for them as well. Same with traffic cones for example.

[@felixmerz00]

Looks awsome. I would prefer to see the video in its original speed.

[@PhoneAppS1]

thats insane, comma has to be number 2 in the race to FSD behind tesla and from a small team, very impressive. i would think if they sold the company and tech to a known car brand easy 10 figures

[@marcosadelino6990]

There you go! I personally see a lot of value in a "help me learn" feature, taking into account driver inputs to learn.

[@user-qy6pe2dt3x]

Amazing job guys! My next car will be Kia EV9 I believe would work best with comma ai. Love it and can't wait to get one soon.

Noticed that is running HDA II. Two cables to the Comma 3.

The trim level they purchased is indeed HDA II, but the second cable goes to a Red Panda, required for all CAN-FD cars, not just HDA II.

Question: How does the system know it is safe to switch lanes if the primary navigation camera only looks forward?

Pretty sketchy but still amazing progress for a small open source project

i want one but idk if it supports my BMW, its a 2011-2012 BMW 335D i also have a 2011-2012 BMW X5 35D, would love the support for those two cars they are my gas saving cars. Either way thank you for what you have done you are a incredible person with a backbone, i appreciate you for giving me jailbreaking rights for my devices and not to mention this new badass project you have is really nice, I hope you keep doing things like this, you make the world a better place by doing so

[@lessmanjon]

I hope that the software and equipment can support more vehicle models in the future, such as Toyota's veloz and Toyota's avanza models, which are the most popular in Asia and have the largest number, but the equipment does not have this option, which is a pity.

[@AaronOlin]

Great work Comma team!!

[@bradley144]

Get those manufacturers to start shipping comma with their cars! Comma could be the next open source "Android"! Try to get it running on the silicon shipped by the manufacturers!

They actually did it! I might actually have to buy one now...

[@larryboldt483]

Wow, great job Comma AI team! What is the next challenge?

[@fitybux4664]

?!!?!? Sorely disappointed. I was expecting it to do a "I am here start making it" order and drive you through the drive thru. 😀 😁 End-to-end only counts if food is actively being handed to you through your window. Also, I will be anticipating Comma's unlimited burrito plan for a monthly fee. 😆

[@overcheats4518]

Great stuff, Why did the car choose to drive on the left lane on 0:53 instead of staying on the right lane where it later goes back to ?

[@dust7138]

The blog post talks about how simple the lane changes on nav are right now. To avoid staying in an exit only lane the car will go one lane over when entering a highway. And when exiting it will go as far over as possible. I think that is what's happening here.

[@overcheats4518]

@@dust7138 Thank you so much for clearing me up

Congrats!! How did your car get on the highway without you nudging the steering wheel? Does comma 3 have true 360 vision now? Is this available in experimental mode in my c3? I have so many questions! 😂

[@AndyMcBlane]

Check out the blog post

[@teslag358xh2]

Changing lanes into and out of exit-only lanes requires long distance understanding of nav instructions and lane information. Since the nav model currently lacks that input, we used some simple heuristics around the nav instructions to tell the model when to lane change: After passing an on-ramp, lane change once to avoid a potential exit-only lane. When approaching an exit, lane change in the direction of the oncoming exit until no adjacent lanes are visible. These two heuristics are undeniably not robust to the variety of exits and highways in the field. In the future, we plan to give the nav model enough context to suggest lane changes coming up to an exit.
