Comment on You can add self-driving to non-Teslas via comma.ai's "openpilot": an open-source, LiDAR-based dashcam module

It skirts around governmental add’l requirements for driverless cars by being open-source and saying the users choose to install their own software, so it can avoid legal issues

This would never work here in Germany where we have actual safety requirements for allowing cars on the roads.

User choose to install their own software, meaning its now the softwares fault the car killed a pedestrian.

I’m all for open source but even closed source profit based systems haven’t mastered self driving, this seems a little bit ridiculous to use on a public roadway.

  “We told them this self-driving software isn’t for self driving, you can’t blame us” is a bit like q-tips. There’s an explicit warning on the packaging to not put them in your ear canal. But like what else do people buy them for?
