> As far as quality goes it's way more reliable. Most of the "advanced" driver assistance systems would kill you within a minute if you left the car to their control.

Do you have any evidence/studies for either of these statements?

Right. It's not a serious automotive grade safety system.

Sure. Go on a highway with your stock LKAS/ACC on your Toyota/Honda/Mercedes/mostSystems and don't touch the wheel or gas/brakes, and see how long before you feel the need to intervene.

Now do the same with Comma's Openpilot.

lol, don’t bother. HNers have no idea of the sorry state of the “””industry”””

Maybe not, but please don't post unsubstantive disses here. That only makes this place worse.

Instead, if you know more, share some of what you know so we can all learn something.

I work in the industry and am scptical of even the big players ability to deliver on the promises they made 3-5 years ago including waymo and cruise.

Right now everyone has a proof of concept demo and people are pouring money in. It's going to take a while and I really can't see a company like comma.ai being a serious player given their approach but maybe I'm wrong. Good luck to them, I hope nobody gets hurt.
