erc-calculator VS openpilot

On a related note, factory-installed Toyota display systems can sometimes be locked and require an "ERC" code to unlock. The display in my recently imported car was in Japanese and seemed to be stuck, as none of the buttons or rear camera worked. I learned from Google Translate that it was in some kind of anti-theft lock mode, and after going down the rabbit hole I found out that I could access a secret menu by holding radio power and turning the headlights on and off three times, which revealed a screen displaying the display's serial number and asking for an "ERC" code.

It turns out some fine Internet people have written C# (https://github.com/alexeyfadeev/erc-calculator) and Python (https://github.com/Berks/python_erc) packages to generate these codes. Was really cool to figure this out without having to pay some shady site in Bitcoins! The display is still in Japanese, but at least I can use Bluetooth and the rear camera! Hope that helps someone.

Yes, but he spent several years in self-driving cars (https://comma.ai), which while interesting is also a space that a lot of players are in, so it's not the same as seeing him back to doing stuff that's a little more out there, especially as pertains to IP.

Where are you getting your narrative?

What about comma? https://comma.ai/ Seems like our old friend geohot built exactly what you want.

The issue was that the front camera on the windshield couldn’t see under the hood. You misunderstand how easy it is to solve for depth and distance with AI without requiring stereo cameras. Read https://github.com/commaai/openpilot

Nice to have: I want to get a self-driving add-on that supports some cars better than others. Not a must but high up on my nice-to-have list.

EDIT: I probably should have added that I currently have the base model of the Kona the lowest model available, and I am looking for a similar thing in the ioniq 6, because my understanding is that it's fully compatible with the comma.ai device and therefore I am not planning on getting the better on board driving system, the Kona that I got unfortunately was not compatible with that device.

I wonder how bad this is compared to the competition. https://comma.ai allows you to add self-driving features to a large number of non-Tesla cars so, if we’re including physical firmware hacks as a threat vector, I’d bet tons of alternative cars (new enough Honda Odysseys, Toyota Siennas, etc: probably anything with adaptive cruise control and lane following) have the same sort of potential vulnerability.

Not sure, but from the first article from 4 years ago:

>Last month, we had 1,209 cars drive a little over 1,000,000 miles

Let's say they've had zero growth since then, so 48,000,000 conservatively?

Actually, from their website [1]:

>100+ million miles driven and 10k users.
