NHTSA investigates comma.ai’s openpilot over 5 crashes that killed 3. I did not know that ODB-C on the CAN network allowed control of steering and more. Or that hiding behind selling a "dev kit" on which you run open source software that takes control of your car was this much of an effective moral crumple zone.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
