Things I regret: Looking at github issues for the open-source self-driving car conversion kit.

Thousands of people use these things on public roads.

22 Acura RDX - steering disables under 45mph · Issue #34346 · commaai/openpilot

Describe the bug Steering is completely disabled below 45mph on release branch. There is no visual warning saying it is disabled, the car just drives in a straight line until it about to go offroad...

@jonty so their software (!!!) will happily keep running even when a core functionality isn’t responding, and yet they claim to have functional safety?

Either they’re lying about meeting ISO-26262 or automotive control safety standards are a complete joke

@cinebox @jonty What they've likely done is said that nothing in the system is safety critical because it's a level 2 system and the driver can take over at any time. If you make that argument, the only safety critical function is allowing disengagement at any time.
