COMMA.AI - IS IT REALLY FSD WITHOUT A TESLA?

EV Channels Review

This video from Transport Evolved delves into Comma.ai's Openpilot system, particularly the new Comma 3 hardware and its near end-to-end AI training approach. The reviewer highlights Comma's distinct strategy of teaching the AI to drive like a human, contrasting it with traditional methods that break down driving into discrete tasks. A key advantage discussed is Openpilot's ability to handle complex scenarios, like bike racks, which often stump other systems due to their object-recognition-heavy approach. The Comma 3's superior camera resolution compared to Tesla's FSD hardware is noted, along with its flexibility in adapting to over 100 different vehicle models without extensive per-vehicle calibration. While acknowledging the system is not yet fully autonomous and still has development areas like 'desire' and navigation integration, the reviewer concludes that Openpilot is a compelling driver assistance system, especially for vehicles not equipped with native FSD, and appears to be a strong contender in the autonomous driving race.
