I used Open Pilot for ~4 years. According to connect I have 8,000 miles on Comma 2, 20,000 on Comma 3 and 2,000 on Comma 3x. I recently sold my Rav 4 and went to a Tesla. Open Pilot is actually better in a lot of ways than default Tesla auto pilot, especially because it doesn't do crazy fantom braking on freeway. Open Pilot is also way ahead of pretty much every lane assist / adaptive cruise control systems.

Obviously, FSD is way ahead of e2e open pilot with navigation, but since Open Pilot can apply very little torque to the wheel, it can't do anything gnarly. I actually trust Open pilot more at this point but I guess I just need more time with FSD. Some of that is because longitude was Toyota controlled until I used the e2e longitude model more.

Even on "chill" mode, FSD will make random quick lane changes to turn only lanes to try to get around traffic. This is 12.5.2. Even so FSD can get me from point A to B with no interventions 98% of the time.

There should be an option in FSD to have it not pass on the right and to change what speed difference it will wait to pass for (for example only pass when the car in front is [5] mph slower than what I want to go). These are separate options to look into than chill mode, and could also fall short to Comma, but thought I’d share in case you didn’t know they were there.
