Yes, but what does "observes" ISO26262 mean? The words I would want to hear before plugging this into my car are, "meets", "complies with with", or "certified to ISO26262."

They run Python codes on the phone, and let a separate microcontroller do car interfacing, in which they do their best to gatekeep the ML output. That “critical” uC part is self certified by them on best effort basis.

And of course that uC unit comes in a 3D printed enclosure so yeah

There is ofcourse no way they are ISO26262 compliant since they are not even trying to make it road legal.

ISO26262 compliance is really heavy and requires enormous amount of documentation and requirements tracking.

They plan on open sourcing their ISO26262 documentation when Openpilot 1.0 is released. They were hiring (or already did? don't know) someone to help them write it up for release.
