When people see my Tesla Model 3 they usually ask “Does it really drive itself?” because people associate Teslas with self-driving & Autopilot which is an advanced driver assistance system. Autopilot is synonymous with Tesla, but other non-Tesla cars can also have their own advanced driver assistance system added. It’s called Openpilot, but how well does it stack up against the standards that Tesla Autopilot has set? Let’s find out.
Tesla Autopilot is assists the driver with safety & convenience features such as emergency braking, collision warning, and blind-spot monitoring. Autopilot enables the car to steer, accelerate, and brake automatically for other vehicles & pedestrians in its lane. As of November 2019 when we recorded these tests, Autopilot is included on all Tesla vehicles at no additional cost. However, I paid $5,000 for Enhanced Autopilot when I got my Model 3 in 2018 then $2,000 on Full Self Driving which provides some more advanced features such as automatic driving from highway on-ramp to off-ramp, overtaking slower cars, automatic lane changes, autopark, and summon which allows your Tesla to drive itself to your location in a parking lot.
https://comma.ai Openpilot is an open source driver assistance system by the startup company, Comma ai. It operates as a replacement for OEM Advanced driver-assistance systems & allows users to modify their existing car with increased computing power, enhanced sensors, and continuously-updated driver assistance features that improve with user-submitted data. Openpilot performs the functions of Adaptive Cruise Control, Automated Lane Centering, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane Departure Warning for a growing variety of vehicles. If your car is one of the 50 or so compatible vehicles, like Logan’s 2019 Corolla Hatchback, it costs about $1,000 to order the hardware called the EON Devkit which is like a glorified Android phone running dash cam software. Once you get the hardware install Openpilot on it then connect it to your car & you’re ready to go.
Similarities:
Both are Level 2 Partial Automation meaning the vehicle can control steering, accelerating, and braking, but ultimately a human sits in the driver seat and is responsible for monitoring the driving environment and must be ready to take over at any time. Both systems receive free software updates that constantly improve existing features + adding new features. During the time of our tests (Nov 2019) OpenPilot was on version 0.6.6 and Tesla was on version 2019.36.2.1. Both are constantly improving their own systems by tracking all users’ driving data for machine learning.
Differences:
Openpilot uses an interior facing camera for eye & head tracking to verify driver attention meaning it does not require a hand on the steering wheel but instead will alert if the driver isn’t looking forward. Autopilot does not use facial recognition but instead requires a hand on the wheel and will alert if it doesn’t detect a hand on the wheel. Openpilot disengages on acceleration or braking; it does not disengage if the driver turns the wheel. Autopilot disengages on steering or braking but not acceleration. Openpilot is labeled as alpha software while #Tesla is in beta. OpenPilot currently does not have a maximum speed limit and does not use speed limit signs or map information for anything. #Autopilot has no speed limit on interstates but will limit your speed to 5-10mph over the speed limit on roads with limits of 55mph or under. #Openpilot is open source software so there are some slight differences in how it operates between different vehicle makes & models. Everything we reference in this video is how it operates specifically on a 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback.

We need nationwide laws to restrict the use of these features to "Anti Driver only" privately owned roadways, you know like railcars have a private system, anti driver tech needs to be restricted now.
Pretty cool to see you guys driving down Bardstown Road lol
Must make sure that Elon sees this. The best of both worlds.
Actually I doubt openpilot would be able to handle those roads without a lead car. It was following the Tesla the whole time which made it much easier to keep its lane.
Redo this video with openpilot as lead please
good ol hotz
21:00 Driving on 'auto pilot' in so dense traffic will create longer queues, because of the accordion effect caused by the auto pilot not reacting fast enough when the car in front starts, and keeping a much longer distance than necessary. Just like bad human drivers.. :p
This will take many years to optimize..
21:03 What car is in front of you But if you don't know the model, just say The make.
Safe to say the channel has changed in a Tesla promoting channel. Unsubscribed a few months ago just because of this, came by to see if the old Andy came back but nope! after almost 2 years he's still at it.
This is very interesting! Thank you.
Not a fan that you were talking to the founder because obviously you are gonna say great things about it so its biased. Everyone knows a third party attachment can't beat integrated autopilot in a Tesla.
Open source is great but my god, @8:50 anyone watching would assume he's drunk…
Hands Free + Driver Attention monitoring, is the future of autonomous driving, levels 3-5. Tesla hands-on-wheel requirement = "room for improvement". Tesla will need to do another, much more extensive hardware upgrade to get to level 4 and 5 … leaving all who paid for FSD stuck with the misleading named level 2 system it is.
But no one wants to drive a Toyota Corolla around lol.
This was a great head-to-head real world test. I learned so much about the capabilities of both platforms as at 13 Jan 2020. Really enlightening. So grateful!
I'd love to see what George could do if he had all the advantages Tesla has.
I must say: Open pilot impresses me more then any other self driving things (even more then Waymo – yes, Tesla… they are far behind Waymo so not even needed to compare with them).
Why?
Because it's amazingly good, it retrofits in cars that do not have those functions, it was created by one person with one mind blowing idea, and it's incredible cheap and simple. It's… like WOW!
Android.
Who else bought a comma2 after watching this?
The problem with all these systems is that traffic laws vary very much between states and countries. That bus would have had right of way in the country i’m in. So I cannot depend on autopilot giving way. That’ll be the biggest problem for US cars in europe. We have a lot of differences in traffic laws.
The fact that you did this comparison on the same trip is really nice. Then you can actually see the differences very clearly. Good idea.
20:31 Pretty sure that car trying to merge didn't use a turn signal.
OpenPilot is not like the $7,000 Full Self Driving (FSD) offered by Tesla. OpenPilot has features similar to the $3,000 Autopilot upgrade on the $35k standard range Tesla Model 3. (Autopilot comes standard on all other Tesla Models. (Model 3 standard range plus and above, Models S,X,Y. Etc.) FSD Is $7,000 on top of standard Autopilot. (Or the $3000 Autopilot on the 35k Model 3). Bottom line, compare OpenPilot price ($1200 for Comma Two and harness hardware) to Autopilot price (standard or 3k), not FSD. You make great videos, keep them coming please.
That was really well done. I can't believe I watched the whole thing!
open pilot is good for highways and nothing else, far too unsafe for anything else.
Ran the red at 6:37
Wish my 19 Honda Insight was supported
8:23 Our wonderful roads in kentucy lol
dude. Try hungary. There are roads in our holes, how disgusting. They put roads in our wonderful holes and seams
3 second following distance is the recommended distance – regardless of circumstance. Heavy traffic doesn't make it easier for you to react and brake. The fact that people compromise so readily on this for convenience is why you always see accidents during rush hours. Most accidents are rear-ending and could be avoided by proper distance.
You take a second to react – often more. With driver assistance you probably also hesitate to take over control in hopes that the computer will correct itself. And then 2 seconds, or less, for breaking which isn't even going to get you to 0. It is to simply reduce your speed enough to avoid accident or reduce damage on impact. Going the distance people are on this video at 55mph is a simply driving in the hopes that it won't happen to you.
buwaonkam?
6:40 he just ran a red 0.0
how did you get that at 35k? or not really, I mean the delivery is 2k alone, and what about the 7k for autopilot, we think you are making this up, I was not able to get lower than 49k, they didn´t let me order
Does a Tesla have suspension like this

I’m surprised that legacy automakers haven’t jumped on open pilot as a universal autopilot option. I can only imagine if they had more funding.
Oh wow, I was thinking that scenery was very familiar. I drive that road every day S.HB Pkwy.
Interesting. My corolla will allow itself to get pretty close to cars that it's following but only after setting the follow distance manually. Just ordered a comma two, can't wait to try it out on my long commute on an empty two lane highway.
should repeat the test with the open pilot as the lead car since the tech often will use the vehicle ahead to guide it
you should mention it's ok for you to go through red lights, or maybe edit that out of your video.
Is your data sold on either system?
