    openpilot is an open source driver assistance system. openpilot performs the functions of Automated Lane Centering and Adaptive Cruise Control for 250+ supported car makes and models.

  • I'm not anywhere near a specialist when it comes to car software, CAN, or self-driving, but I'm concerned by some of the code that (appears to) control some of the supported cars: I pulled up a random file[1], and it's littered with undocumented bytestrings that are apparently sent over the CAN bus, as magic constants (with accompanying comments that mention "aggressive" and "laggy" behavior).

    I have no insight into any of the proprietary work in this space, so I have no idea whether this is unique or commonplace. But it certainly isn't confidence inspiring, particularly as a cyclist.

  • opendbc

    democratize access to car decoder rings

  • See my other comment about Ford code being reference only.

    Supported cars have most signals defined in a dbc file, the mapping from name to id and bytes. See https://github.com/commaai/opendbc

    This results in much cleaner car abstraction layers: https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/de0ce142ae51cf9c85...
