Lukas sent me an email Sunday with the install instructions and tracking for the cable. Check junk/spam to see if you got one too, maybe it was flagged for some reason.
Thanks, found it in the spam folder.

On my 2024 Explorer Comma 3X will change lanes when I hit the blinker and give the steering wheel a little nudge. If the Ford blind spot detection system thinks there's a vehicle there the Comma will cancel the lane change request and give me a notification. It works really well. It probably changes lanes more abruptly than I would, but it's not uncomfortable for passengers.
I guess my point is if you were to signal to change lanes and there is no car in your blindspot (but it's to the side of you in the blindspot of the front facing camera) you can have comma.ai change lanes into a smaller car

If there's no car in your blindspot but there's actually a car in your blinds pot? I don't understand. Either way, you initiate the lane changes, just look that its clear then hit the blinker and it'll do it.

blind spot is the area that your mirrors do not cover.

if for example, a smart car or motorcycle was right up against you, it would not be in the blind spot but it would be within your relative direct line of sight when looking at the mirrors.

So the point is the car does not exactly have enough info to comfortably make a lane change on its own

The early days of tesla autopilot (mobileye 1.0) the car would drive around and make automatic lane changes and navigation decisions all with just a front facing camera. And not a good one at that

Newbie to comma.ai and open pilot. So this is an open sourced ADAS system? What level of autonomy are they targeting? If you install this in your vehicle are you voiding the Rivian warranty?

It's an advanced level 2 driver assistance system. It's all plug and play, nothing about it alters the vehicle. Simply unplug it and its gone. So no it should have zero effect on warranty.

Per the google machine. "Comma.ai's Openpilot is a level 2 autonomous driving system, which means it's a partial automation system that assists the driver. The driver is still responsible for paying attention and taking over at any time"

In regards to warranty, and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act; Rivian would have to prove the install caused whatever damage occurs

There are no automatic Lane changes. The user initiates the lane change by turning on the turn signal, after they've already made sure the lane next to them is clear. You might remember the old practice of looking over your shoulder before merging into it the adjacent Lane. Then after you tell the system it's all clear and to change lanes, on some vehicles where it has the capability, the Comma AI can also verify that the lane next to it is clear using the cars built-in blind spot sensors.

yes I have used comma.ai but I do not have a vehicle with a blind spot monitor

it was in a toyota corolla and that is otherwise one of the best vehicles for comma.ai from a performance standpoint

slightly also worth mentioning that 99% of cars (other than tesla) use radar for the blind spot monitoring so it is a good habit to still look back in the mirror and check for yourself.

Theoretically the radar won't catch a car that is travelling at a significant speed difference from your own car, so if you are stuck behind a slow car and want to pass, it's best to check before signaling

Also, if your sensors are ice or snow covered you loose sensitivity.. so yeah, always check your mirrors before changing lanes.

What theory is this? Unless the vehicle is moving at such a rate of speed as to not be in the RADAR scope for longer than the PRF (pulse-repetition frequency) of the system, the vehicle can be detected.

With a PRF of 300pps (pretty low) and a vehicle length of 18ft, the car would need a speed delta north of 3500mph to not be seen by the RADAR.

Verifying that thing will work safely in various conditions is going be impossible with the shoestring budget they have. Rivian and Tesla can’t do it, either. Only Waymo can do it, and maybe under restricted conditions Volvo and Mobileye. Don’t use it.

I have personally used it on several vehicles for years as have others. It works great. Vastly superior to Rivian Driver+ or the others you mentioned, outside of Tesla FSD which this is not attempting to emulate. It's not trying to turn into Waymo either. It's a very competent level 2 driver assistance system that keeps the lane and controls acceleration/deceleration on any road. It can also do some things lane changes on demand, lane selection, and recently they are testing stop light/stop sign recognition.
