Is it like an app you install on the car or is it a custom integration?

It's a dashcam that you put on the windshield with 2 cameras pointing forward and one inward (filming the driver).

It’s my understanding that in addition to the cameras it also uses the sensors already built in to the car which would include blind-spot detection, no?

Some cars that have BSD it will work with. My car uses it, but don't forget the lane changes are not automated by default. A user must turn on the blinker and nudge the wheel by default. Positive BSD sensors read on CAN-BUS will be read by OP and it will not perform the rest of the lane change. This is how it works on my car (albeit, I don't run default so I just need the blinker).

[diggan]

It says my car is supported and my car doesn't have any blind-spot detection, nor does the requirements list that as needed, so maybe it's optional but not required?

What is filming the driver used for? Can you disable that?

[world2vec]

To ensure the driver has eyes on the road all time. It detects if you're not paying attention and beeps at you. I don't think it can be disabled.

Ah, thanks, I just found more detail here - https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/master/docs%2FSAFE...

They say it's required for ISO compliance with Level 2 autonomous driving
