> but aren't you taking on full liability when using it

Of course. And if you were to do something stupid like take your hands off the wheel it would constitute reckless driving. Which means in an accident your warranty is void, insurance claims extinguished and you would be criminally liable for any bodily damage/death.

I will never understand the logic of anyone using a product like this.

GM will take responsibility for accidents with super cruise if it was being used as intended [1] - and that includes eyes on road, hands free driving. Hands free means a very bad bug where it jerked off the road with no warning seems like it falls in that bucket. I wouldn’t consider my inability to grab the wheel instantly in that scenario stupid. With comma, in that scenario, it would still just be, hey, you are running open source software you installed at your own risk, right?

Comma could come installed with open pilot and some limited liability, but it puts it all on you having you install it yourself. That is making less and less sense to me as they mature. I would think they could take on some liability, and still have the ability to defend themselves in cases where an accident was due to reckless use (e.g circumventing eyes on road tracking) or improper installation.
