What is OpenPilot

OpenPilot is open source software built to improve upon the existing driver assistance in most new cars on the road today. Now OpenPilot is available for pre-autopilot Tesla Model S as well as Tesla Model S/X with autopilot hardware 1 or 2.

Currently, openpilot performs the functions of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Automated Lane Centering (ALC), Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) for a growing variety of supported car makes, models and model years. In addition, while openpilot is engaged, a camera based Driver Monitoring (DM) feature alerts distracted and asleep drivers. See more about the vehicle integration and limitations.

Getting Started

  1. OpenPilot for preAP Tesla ModelS
  2. OpenPilot for Tesla Model S/X with AP1
  3. OpenPilot for Tesla Model S/X with AP2

* in line with latest code from Comma
* adds support for C3X
* adds fixes for "steering temporary unavailable"
* you can now chose between OP/AP1/ACC on cars with AP:
 - OP - single stalk pull
 - AP - double stalk pull
 - ACC (Tesla stock) - up/down stalk movement
* improved IC integration for cars with AP:
 - when OP/AP now engaged, IC shows AP data
 - when OP is engaed, IC shows OP data
 - when AP is engaged, IC shows AP data
* option to ignore radar errors (useful in winter time when radar might get dirty)
