THE COMMA 4 IS HERE. SHOULD YOU GET ONE?

EV Channels Review

The Comma 4 represents a significant hardware revision for Comma AI's aftermarket driver assistance system, focusing on miniaturization and improved thermal management. While the core functionality and software remain largely the same as the Comma 3X, the Comma 4 boasts a 1/5th the size, a new OLED display, and a faster setup process due to its innovative screen mount. The most notable upgrade is the enhanced cooling system, addressing a common issue of overheating in previous models, especially in warmer climates. The reviewer highlights that while the Comma 4 is more consumer-focused than its predecessors, it still requires user research and understanding of its limitations, emphasizing that it is not a 'set and forget' system. For existing Comma 3 users, an upgrade might be considered for continued support, but for Comma 3X owners, the reviewer sees little functional reason to upgrade unless interested in future eGPU capabilities, which are currently more developer-oriented. The price point of $999, or $699 with trade-in, is presented as reasonable given the lack of subscription fees and the open-source nature of the software.
