We have detailed instructions for how to install the harness and device in a car. Note that it's possible to run openpilot on other hardware, although it's not plug-and-play. release-mici release-tizi openpilot.comma.ai This is openpilot's release branch. release-mici-staging release-tizi-staging openpilot-test.comma.ai This is the staging branch for releases. Use it to get new releases slightly early. nightly nightly openpilot-nightly.comma.ai This is the bleeding edge development branch. Do not expect this to be stable. nightly-dev nightly-dev installer.comma.ai/commaai/nightly-dev Same as nightly, but includes experimental development features for some cars. openpilot observes ISO26262 guidelines, see SAFETY.md for more details. openpilot has software-in-the-loop tests that run on every commit. The code enforcing the safety model lives in panda and is written in C, see code rigor for more details. panda has software-in-the-loop safety tests. Internally, we have a hardware-in-the-loop Jenkins test suite that builds and unit tests the various processes. panda has additional hardware-in-the-loop tests. We run the latest openpilot in a testing closet containing 10 comma devices continuously replaying routes. openpilot is released under the MIT license. Some parts of the software are released under other licenses as specified.

By default, openpilot uploads driving data to our servers. You can also access your data through comma connect. We use your data to train better models and improve openpilot for everyone. openpilot is open source software, and users can disable data collection if they wish. openpilot logs the road-facing cameras, CAN, GPS, IMU, magnetometer, thermal sensors, crashes, and operating system logs. The driver-facing camera and microphone are only logged if you explicitly opt-in in settings.

openpilot runs on comma 2/3/3X hardware, also developed by comma.ai. Packaged as an aftermarket retrofit, it allows users to enhance their existing cars with upgraded computing power, enhanced vision, and regularly updated software. openpilot has been cited to offer a "natural" and human-like driving experience, and reviewed favorably for its ease of use and driver engagement. As of May 2024, openpilot holds the record for the shortest time in a semi-autonomous, coast-to-coast drive across the U.S.
