Indeed it is. The comma has that same effect except maybe five fold.

So what do you do if you want this? Does the car need to already have cameras and sensors and stuff or do you get those with the comma and you have to install it into your car by yourself somehow? What’s the procedure?
I have a Volvo EX40 right now and it has a lot of features but it refuses to drive on its own for more than a number of seconds for safety reasons. (We’re in the EU, so I guess that’s not allowed.)

Installation is pretty straight forward, usually it looks like plugging into your OBD2 port, running a cable up to your window, and attaching an adaptor into your camera system. It basically sets up like a dash cam, but with more integration into the vehicle.
The software and device currently supports 325+ cars. I think the car needs to have electronic steering and the automatic distance keeping features. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like Volvo is supported, but the project is open source and can always grow. There are also community forks, I am currently using SunnyPilot.
You can find out more on their website, comma.ai .
