1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Oh my god. Oh my god. Look at it go. It's driving itself.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Driving itself. Are you touching the gas? No, I'm not touching anything.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
And guys, this is no Tesla with autopilot or whatever.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
It's not a Waymo. This is like a five-year-old Toyota Corolla.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Oh, it needs a little help. It needs a little help. Oh.

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Oh, look at it go. Look at it go.

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000
It might smell a bit like mold and it definitely isn't much of a looker.

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
But with the help of this incredible piece of technology,

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
the Comma 3X and the open-source self-driving software it runs called OpenPilot,

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:41,000
this practical commuter car is now in the same class of self-driving as a base Tesla with autopilot,

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
making it into one of, if not the cheapest self-driving cars on the market.

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
I have wanted to try this guys for so freaking long.

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
And thanks to Ventrue, who sponsored this video sending over a bunch of their dashcams,

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000
we can have all the angles when we show you guys exactly how easy it was to install

15
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
and what it feels like to have what is fundamentally a cell phone drive your car for you.

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
And did I mention it's open-source? You did, but it's cool enough to mention it twice.

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
There's no way that this is it. That is it.

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:18,000
This is the Comma 3X and this black box contains everything we need to turn the car I'm sitting in self-driving-ish.

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Make driving chill. Oh my God, that's a lot of fine print.

20
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Let me read the fine print. It actually says fine print.

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Oh yeah. This is the bulk of the hardware and it's basically a phone with a Snapdragon processor,

22
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:40,000
128GB of built-in storage, a 2160x1080 OLED display, USB 3 and of course LTE, Wi-Fi and GPS.

23
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
The wild part though is that it's not even a high-end phone.

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Like it's about on par with my old Galaxy Note 9 in terms of the performance.

25
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
What isn't on par with the Galaxy is of course the cameras.

26
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:58,000
It has two 180 degree lenses, one here and then one on the back in order to give it a 360 degree view

27
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
and then also has a narrow field camera to see far ahead.

28
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000
It's cool that it's got the Comma logo on the back. Yeah, they actually do.

29
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
All the electronics assembly and design in the USA and they even have their own SMT line in their office

30
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,000
where all the circuit boards are made. So this hardware is fully custom and apparently they can make up to 500 of these things a week now.

31
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:24,000
It's not cheap. I mean a thousand US dollars is a pretty hefty price to ask for like a Note 9 tier hardware

32
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,000
but they are operating on a really small scale and on a hardware product that's made in the USA and fully custom?

33
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Seems pretty reasonable especially when you consider the software development that goes along with a hardware product.

34
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:43,000
I mean it's open source but they're pushing most of it. And to their credit they are costing down the product over time rather than the other way around

35
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
which goes against the industry trends. This used to be more expensive.

36
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
If you look at a ton in the way of accessories, we've got a Toyota A adapter harness.

37
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Yep. USBC which just goes right into there.

38
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
The right angle USBC here. That's what connects to the car. And then what is this?

39
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
That also connects to the car but it's technically optional.

40
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000
That's like the power adapter. So if you have this in your car and you want it to be like uploading training data at night, you need that.

41
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000
It keeps it powered. Oh, super cool. You can also GPS track your car with that plug in and it off and like remotely check in on it.

42
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Oh, that's super cool. Like a Tesla. You have to pay money for that.

43
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000
We'll get into that later. Yeah. All you need because I don't think it's fair for me to try to install this.

44
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
I work on cars all the time. I want to see how a normie would do it.

45
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000
There's instructions. They're not specific to this car but there's instructions.

46
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Cool. Step one, remove the rear view mirror cover trim.

47
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
This is where I'm going to stop you. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That's step one.

48
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
I don't care. So like I said, I work on cars.

49
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,000
I don't know why these instructions don't include this but step one of working on any cars electronics

50
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,000
is disconnecting the battery. It probably doesn't matter.

51
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,000
And to be clear for our use case, I'm actually not going to do it because I want to see what

52
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
happens. But if you're doing this at home, you bought this thing, just disconnect your battery first.

53
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Wait, wait, stop for a second. Trim tool? No, I got it.

54
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,500
No, damn it. There's a sponsor thing you f**k. Luckily, our sponsor, Ventrue, includes a little trim tool with a dash cam so you can

55
00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:05,000
use that to get it off. It said to slide down, I think. Oh, here, this part.

56
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Take this part off. Boom, there we go. And then now I'm supposed to do it.

57
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Oh, sorry. Yeah. Hey.

58
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,500
How you doing, buddy? Connect car harness into the camera.

59
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:18,500
Oh, so I am disconnecting my existing camera.

60
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:23,500
You're putting it in line. To be honest, I don't know if it actually talks to that part of the car at all.

61
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:26,500
It definitely doesn't like analyze the feed. That's for sure.

62
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:31,000
I did see on like a Reddit post that someone said on cars that have blind spot monitoring

63
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,500
that it will stop a lane change if it gets detected on there. But I don't know if that's supported on all the cars.

64
00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:41,500
That is kind of the thing about open source solutions is yeah, it's got a feature set.

65
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,500
Some of which may be implemented. Yeah. To their credit, a lot of it is just reverse engineering.

66
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:49,500
Like they just have to basically f**k around and find out.

67
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:53,000
Yeah, look here. We've got a little connect-a-ma-jig. Uh-huh.

68
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
And then we put our other connect-a-ma-jig right where that one was.

69
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,500
Okay. Oh, yeah, there we go. We plug this guy into here.

70
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:04,000
Got a little bit of VHB tape. Oh, they've got a nice little pulley tab for me on it.

71
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,500
Thanks, comma. I don't know if this spot's going to work, but I stuck it there.

72
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:11,500
This is killing my back sitting in here like this. I'm getting so old, dammit.

73
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:14,500
Where's the other one? Oh, wait. All right.

74
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:17,500
Here we go. Now I can get in here. Oh, wait, don't worry.

75
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:21,500
We're in a sweater. lttdstore.com lttdstore.com, baby.

76
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:24,500
Now we're going to plug our power cable into the car's OBD port.

77
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:28,500
A little something like that. So I'm kind of thinking we'll come across this way.

78
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:31,500
Yeah, buddy. Now I'm going to plug in this power connector.

79
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:36,500
Okay. Here's the other side of this power connector. We're going to cable manage this a little bit later.

80
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:41,800
And then now we're going to use, comma's got this funky USB cable that improves the clearance

81
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,840
for the back of the unit here. See it kind of, it's right angle, but it's like going off a weird wonky way.

82
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:50,500
So we're going to plug the other end into right here.

83
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:58,000
Now I'm just going to find somewhere to put this and honestly, there's not a lot of room.

84
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Oh, bud. She's on. She's not going anywhere.

85
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,300
I don't think I managed to get the VHB tape attached to anything, but it's stuffed in there

86
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:07,800
so tight. Let's go, neighbor.

87
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,200
Step three, place mount high and centered on the windshield. It looks like you already did that.

88
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,960
Yeah. You're supposed to let it cure for 48 hours. So I stuck it on a little early.

89
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:20,600
Make sure all lenses are free of debris. Oh, look at that. I should have got you the apple polishing cloth.

90
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:27,920
No, you shouldn't have. Now all we got to do is pop this bad boy on here and then this slides into our mount.

91
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,160
A little something like, here we go, boom.

92
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,240
Just like that. Step five, reinstall the rear view mirror cover.

93
00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:38,300
Trim. Oh, I already did that. So I'm done.

94
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:41,860
Pair your device with Kama Connect. All right. Let's do the setup guide.

95
00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:46,140
This is one of those cases where I might actually recommend connecting to 2.4 gigahertz just

96
00:06:46,140 --> 00:06:51,100
because your reception might not be great in your garage. It'll just kind of depend on where your access point is.

97
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:54,460
I think I can probably do five gigahertz, but your mileage may vary.

98
00:06:54,460 --> 00:06:57,660
Or hotspot your phone. Choose software to install. Okay.

99
00:06:57,660 --> 00:07:01,100
We're going to do open pilot this time, but there's actually, you know, like any open

100
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:05,140
source project, lots of people who have other ideas for how it should work.

101
00:07:05,140 --> 00:07:09,400
And various forks that have their own strengths and their own potential weaknesses.

102
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,800
Yeah. Some of them look very compelling and we will try that later.

103
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,840
We're actually planning to do a long-term review as well where we try a couple of different

104
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,920
cars. I really want to see how it is compared to Tesla's built-in basic autopilot and maybe

105
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,920
full self-driving. I don't know. And then we also want to look at the other software options because apparently some

106
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,000
of them are really good and like add things like you can make it so it follows really

107
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,360
closely. Say you're in LA traffic and you don't want people cutting in front of you.

108
00:07:33,380 --> 00:07:37,380
I feel like a dick, but with the computer. That's pretty cool.

109
00:07:37,380 --> 00:07:40,660
We should actually have a few different drivers try a potential too. Yeah.

110
00:07:40,660 --> 00:07:43,660
Get subscribed so you don't miss it. Oh, is it almost done? Oh, it's doing a software update.

111
00:07:43,660 --> 00:07:48,140
Yeah. So there is an operating system on it right now, obviously. I can't remember what it's called, but it's Linux-based.

112
00:07:48,140 --> 00:07:51,180
And what it's installing right now is it's kind of like an app, basically.

113
00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:55,300
But that app takes over everything. I can't believe how painless this was.

114
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:59,060
Like even filming it, you know, so redoing takes and all that, dude, we've been here less

115
00:07:59,060 --> 00:08:03,960
than an hour. Oh yeah. Very just, yeah, DIY, you just chuck it in your car.

116
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,000
If you watched a video of somebody else doing it beforehand and you had all the cables ready

117
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,560
and you knew how to take that thing off, you could do this in 10 minutes. Before we drive, we're going to sign in and we get what?

118
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,600
Remote access, 24-7 LTE, a year of drive storage and remote snapshots.

119
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,200
If you pay for it. Oh, is there a benefit to signing in if you don't have a Prime subscription?

120
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,080
It allows you to look at your drive videos for the last three days. That's what they'll keep for you.

121
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,540
Kind of like a dash cam, or you can pay a certain amount of money to get all of those

122
00:08:29,540 --> 00:08:33,980
features and a data connection, or you can pay like 10 bucks a month to get all those

123
00:08:33,980 --> 00:08:40,680
features and you use your own SIM card. I don't think that the one including data even works in Canada, but why would you pay

124
00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:45,800
for a subscription for like dash cam functionality? When you can just get a dash cam from our sponsor, Ventrue.

125
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,160
We have their Nexus 4 Pro S here, which is their new dash cam.

126
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,000
It has triple channel recording, including 4K on the main channel.

127
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,840
It's got a remote third camera that's waterproof. You could even put it outside.

128
00:08:57,140 --> 00:09:00,420
So you got like a big sprinter van. You could stick it on the outside. Oh, that's pretty cool.

129
00:09:00,420 --> 00:09:07,180
It has like a rear view camera if you wanted. They use Sony Starvis sensors. You can use their plate picks thing to have better clarity for license plate stuff.

130
00:09:07,180 --> 00:09:11,500
Oh, that's huge. It's got GPS. It's got LTE if you want it with an add on.

131
00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:19,020
It's kind of the bees knees. And they also gave us a few more. We've got the E1 Pro down here, which is a single lens camera.

132
00:09:19,020 --> 00:09:24,740
And then there's another one at the back. That's a 360 camera that even has a 360 action cam mode.

133
00:09:24,740 --> 00:09:28,720
You can take it out of your car and use it like a 360 cam if you want. Cool.

134
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,080
So thanks to Venture for sponsoring this and we'll have a bunch of footage of the drive because of them.

135
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,080
Okay. Sure. Yeah, I'll put the fire hose.

136
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:43,760
That just means it uploads more data for them to train. It's an open source project, but it's also a like distributed training pool.

137
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,400
So when you drive, even when you're not using open pilot to drive for you, it's recording

138
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,560
and it can upload clips. And they even allow you, if you want, depending on your privacy settings to upload the driver

139
00:09:53,580 --> 00:09:57,500
facing camera data, if you want to help train their driver attention models.

140
00:09:57,500 --> 00:10:01,380
I had abled that. Normally, I would not ever put my seatbelt under my ARM.

141
00:10:01,380 --> 00:10:04,620
You're not supposed to do that, but my microphone is here. So yeah.

142
00:10:04,620 --> 00:10:07,900
Are you scared? You seem like a bit tense. I'm a little tense.

143
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:11,340
If we die, there's going to be so much footage of it.

144
00:10:11,340 --> 00:10:15,140
Here we go. Okay. Drive above 15 miles per hour.

145
00:10:15,140 --> 00:10:18,340
It's Canada, you f***. Oh yeah. Let's change that.

146
00:10:18,340 --> 00:10:26,160
I'm finding the interface really intuitive. You just tap it, and then it brings up the settings cog, and then you just use metrics

147
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,160
system. Look at that. Let's go.

148
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,160
We'll just do aggressive driving personality. No. Standard.

149
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,160
Let's start with standard. Whoa. See, look.

150
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,840
It's already charting the course. Well, let's get out to the road. So it's very important that when you mount this thing that you put it centered, otherwise

151
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,680
your car will like lane keep off center. Okay.

152
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:47,520
Okay. Calibration in progress 98%. So that looks pretty good.

153
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,580
Oh my lanta. Oh, Jesus. Take control.

154
00:10:51,580 --> 00:10:57,580
Would it say the turn exceeds a what now? One thing that it doesn't do yet, when you're on the highway and there's like a corner,

155
00:10:57,580 --> 00:11:01,700
it's not going to slow down based on that. That's a feature that's also like in forks.

156
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:07,540
So they can do it based on looking at the view and also using satellite data as to like

157
00:11:07,540 --> 00:11:12,180
the curves of the road. But you can be on a highway and it can have a pretty aggressive corner and it will still

158
00:11:12,180 --> 00:11:15,340
try to do 100. But that's also a problem in Tesla's autopilot.

159
00:11:15,340 --> 00:11:18,340
Okay. Here we go. Here we go.

160
00:11:18,340 --> 00:11:21,360
Here we go. Over the line. Yeah.

161
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,360
This is some not very good. So far. Yeah.

162
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,360
Nope. Nope. Turn exceeds steering limit.

163
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,360
Okay. Okay. There we go.

164
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,360
There we go. You know what? That might be a thing with this car.

165
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:38,040
The lane centering cruise control of this car might not have the functionality to turn

166
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,760
beyond that. Theoretically, it's detecting this red light, right?

167
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,000
Okay. It stopped on its own.

168
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,980
My feet are completely off the pedals. My hands are completely off the wheel. Is it going to go?

169
00:11:49,980 --> 00:11:52,980
No, it's not going to go. Okay. So I tapped the accelerator.

170
00:11:52,980 --> 00:11:55,980
Is it going to go? Oh yeah. She's going.

171
00:11:55,980 --> 00:12:02,460
She's thinking. Changing the... Uh, yo, it, it, I mean, it changed the lines.

172
00:12:02,460 --> 00:12:06,060
It obviously won't signal for you. So it's kind of like driving a BMW.

173
00:12:06,060 --> 00:12:10,580
Jesus. Let's see how it handles this.

174
00:12:10,580 --> 00:12:14,180
Oh dude. It just drove us into a turning lane. Yeah.

175
00:12:14,180 --> 00:12:17,500
I had to completely intervene there and this light is green and it just tried to stop

176
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,520
me. Okay.

177
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:26,040
It doesn't have navigation. There was a navigate feature that they were testing for a bit, but because they're still

178
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,120
trying to work on the actual driving model and getting that to be really good, adding

179
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,440
that into the training stuff just made everything way more complicated. And so they removed that for now.

180
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,240
Let's see if it can stop at the stop sign. Hey.

181
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,240
Nice. Okay. But is it just going to go?

182
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,240
Nope. This is me. Okay.

183
00:12:46,260 --> 00:12:49,660
I'm just driving myself a lot less stressful.

184
00:12:49,660 --> 00:12:56,100
What exactly is it that made us choose the Toyota Corolla? If you look on their page of compatibility, you know, it's like 300 cars now, which is

185
00:12:56,100 --> 00:13:00,060
great, except not all of them are supported at the same level.

186
00:13:00,060 --> 00:13:04,340
Some of them don't allow the, uh, like auto stop, start from a stoplight or stopping at

187
00:13:04,340 --> 00:13:10,620
red lights, um, at all, even in experimental mode. Some of them only do the lane centering above a certain speed.

188
00:13:10,620 --> 00:13:14,860
There's just limitations based on the hardware of the car and how much development has gone

189
00:13:14,860 --> 00:13:19,200
into it. The reason to why we couldn't just install this into Ploof's car, like there just has

190
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,960
to be support for it. That car has no electric anything.

191
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,400
You can't just make an analog hydraulic steering rack turn itself.

192
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:32,160
The car has to support the features to begin with. On top of that, we wanted a car that was cheap.

193
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:38,800
It wasn't going to work in your Porsche because they don't support it. I guess there's not a lot of Porsche dudes that want this in their car.

194
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,200
So with Linus being a little bit cheap, I wanted to find what is the cheapest self-driving

195
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,300
car we could make. And this was the cheapest one with the full feature set.

196
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:50,700
Hey, a roundabout. Oh God. Let's see what happens in a roundabout, boys.

197
00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:55,100
I don't think you should have the turn signal on, but it's, I mean, it's, yeah, okay.

198
00:13:55,100 --> 00:14:00,100
Nope, nope, nope. Okay, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, I got you, fam, I got you.

199
00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:04,700
Fam. We're real close to that curb, boys.

200
00:14:04,700 --> 00:14:07,700
Oh, oh, oh, no, no, we weren't.

201
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:10,700
Brother, I'm on this side. I can see. I disagree.

202
00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:13,700
Uh, uh, let's see what it does. Let's see what it does. No, it doesn't know.

203
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,200
It tried to turn. No, no, it made the right call. Dude, it made the right call.

204
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,200
It just took too long to figure it out. Yeah. And it couldn't turn that sharply.

205
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:26,180
I actually, I'm pretty impressed by how it handled that. I could see how much better this would be if it had navigation data.

206
00:14:26,180 --> 00:14:30,240
Like live navigation feed would make this so much more powerful because it's not taking

207
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,600
into account that the road is going to turn soon. It's just looking at what the cameras can see.

208
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,600
Okay. Take control, turning seats, steering wheel.

209
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,600
Yeah, that's fine. No, no, I got you. I got you.

210
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:47,700
I got you. Okay. I was kind of like, oh, she's just going, she was just going to like plow into the back

211
00:14:47,700 --> 00:14:52,100
of this. Yeah. It's only lane change assist, remember?

212
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:59,100
I wouldn't even call that an assist. I would call that just sending it to this is where it should shine.

213
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:02,900
I just can't believe this is like open source. Right.

214
00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:08,540
We've mentioned it a handful of times. I know. But it even bears mentioning more times because that is so cool.

215
00:15:08,540 --> 00:15:13,100
Just makes me imagine, dude, like this running on like an M4.

216
00:15:13,100 --> 00:15:16,100
Okay. No, no, not the car. No, no, I know what you mean.

217
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:22,600
But also, yes, that would be cool. What I was going to say, they actually built out support for having an external GPU.

218
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,600
Really? So you could run like a huge model on this thing.

219
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,600
But the car's free. Literally.

220
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:33,920
Why not? You could have more processing power than like a hardware for Tesla pretty easily, which

221
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,320
I mean, to be honest, that's the other thing I haven't considered up until this point.

222
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,160
This is like a five year old smartphone. Is it more than five years?

223
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:47,940
More. To compare the hardware they're running on to the kind of like neural processing, like

224
00:15:47,940 --> 00:15:53,020
that's taken off in that last half a decade that we have on modern devices.

225
00:15:53,020 --> 00:15:59,900
With an AMD GPU. And like they're using TinyGrad, which is like GeoHots company where they're developing

226
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:05,060
like open AI drivers framework, everything, right?

227
00:16:05,060 --> 00:16:08,060
Oh, yeah. Oh, we're changing lanes. Oh, dude, that's so cool.

228
00:16:08,060 --> 00:16:15,360
That was awesome. It totally warned me. So imagine if you gave this thing like a 9070XT in an eGPU dock and just like stuffed

229
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,280
it in your trunk. She's going. We have to do that.

230
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:24,920
That has to be part three. Yeah, but just because you're such a sketch case, like just breathe.

231
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,360
I haven't intervened at all since we got on the highway.

232
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:33,840
I didn't even touch the steering wheel at all. Other than to tell it, hey, I wanted to change lanes, which is totally fine.

233
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,000
I know that it's just like adaptive cruise control and lane keep it like every car I've

234
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,140
ever driven with that sort of stuff. It's just like, man, this is, I really, really need to pay attention because it does just

235
00:16:43,140 --> 00:16:47,820
like dirt about randomly. And like on the highway, that was, I could have had my eyes closed the whole time.

236
00:16:47,820 --> 00:16:53,820
Not that you would or could, but in an alternate universe, I totally could have.

237
00:16:53,820 --> 00:16:56,900
The braking is pretty damn smooth.

238
00:16:56,900 --> 00:17:02,460
Really good. I didn't even think about it, which is honestly the strongest endorsement that I could give

239
00:17:02,460 --> 00:17:08,300
for it. The acceleration is a little aggressive sometimes, but the braking is shockingly smooth.

240
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,000
Have you touched the steering wheel like at all or the gas or the brake? No, brother.

241
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Wow. It's really smooth. Yup.

242
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,280
I would have believed that that was a human, like a, like somebody that's trying to be

243
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,280
good. Yes. That like gives a other passengers.

244
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,280
Yeah. Yeah. Whoa.

245
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,280
Dude. That's pretty cool. Dude.

246
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:33,600
Supposedly because this is like actually like a very state of the art, like machine vision,

247
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,960
AI, whatever you want to call it, neural network model versus like some of the car ones where

248
00:17:38,020 --> 00:17:41,060
it's like just looking for straight white lines or straight yellow lines.

249
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:45,140
It's supposed to be pretty good at handling like nuanced situations where the lines are

250
00:17:45,140 --> 00:17:48,220
faded or there's construction lines or you're going to country where there's places that

251
00:17:48,220 --> 00:17:52,260
there aren't lines all the time or in construction or yada, yada, yada.

252
00:17:52,260 --> 00:17:58,220
This is awesome. This is pretty cool. Like this is so I, if I had a car that supported this, I would buy this right now.

253
00:17:58,220 --> 00:18:03,140
To be clear, that endorsement is not necessarily because I'm financially irresponsible.

254
00:18:03,140 --> 00:18:07,820
Yes. But he would buy it to play with it because it's really cool to play with, but let us

255
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,080
at least do the longterm one before we give you guys some kind of solid, hey, we feel

256
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,920
this is worth it. And also just supporting this project. I have a really important question though.

257
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:22,920
In your research for this video, did you check the legality of what we're doing at all?

258
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:29,880
It depends. So OpenPilot says they designed the way that this system works based on the same guidelines

259
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,560
that automakers stick to. There is also some things to consider depending on where you live.

260
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:39,500
Some jurisdictions don't allow you technically speaking to have anything obstructing the

261
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:43,180
driver's view. You're not supposed to have dash cams. You're not supposed to have radar detectors.

262
00:18:43,180 --> 00:18:46,340
You're not supposed to have anything on your windscreen.

263
00:18:46,340 --> 00:18:50,740
That is a consideration. It's not a problem here, but that's something to check.

264
00:18:50,740 --> 00:18:53,740
Here we go. Here we go. She's going.

265
00:18:53,740 --> 00:18:56,740
She's going just like that. And there's like cones. Like there's no line on that side.

266
00:18:56,740 --> 00:18:59,740
That's really cool. It's tracking that line though. Okay.

267
00:18:59,740 --> 00:19:03,340
Let's see if I don't, this might be too much turn. Let's see.

268
00:19:03,340 --> 00:19:06,360
Let's see. I think she can do it. Okay.

269
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:09,360
All right. All right. She almost did it.

270
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:12,360
Okay. If I, that's interesting. You probably just need to help it a little bit.

271
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:16,160
Yeah. Oh, I didn't actually mention this. It's designed to be like a collaborative thing.

272
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,520
So a lot of the self driving features in other cars are like as soon as you touch the steering

273
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:25,680
wheel, it stops. Oh yeah. This is meant to be like you can give it a little bit more and it will, it will work

274
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,760
with you. I'd love to see once their hardware gets a little bit more advanced, I'd love to see

275
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,760
them integrate that into their training. Yeah.

276
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,760
I think they do. They probably do. Do they?

277
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,680
Okay. Cause as an open source project, I'm way more comfortable just like, yeah, sure.

278
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,680
Upload all my sh**. Yeah. You know what I mean?

279
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,680
Yeah. It totally stopped there by the way. Yeah.

280
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,680
Totally did. That was awesome. That's crazy.

281
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,680
That was really fun. Yeah. Check out the video where we put Android Auto in Ploof's car.

282
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,680
Oh yeah. That was awesome. That was fun too.

283
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:56,700
I wish we could put this in Ploof's car, but this is also still really cool.
