@naisomied We enforce terms for using our hardware (aka cloud services), mostly for compliance with safety standards.
But we absolutely don’t (and can’t) disable your hardware. You have root on your hardware, and we do not.
What is Sunnypilot?
Sunnypilot is a popular community fork of Openpilot that many Comma users (including me) prefer for daily driving.
You use the same Comma hardware, but run Sunnypilot software instead. You install it by choosing the “Custom Software” option when setting up your Comma device.
It keeps everything great about Openpilot while adding useful improvements and features like MADS (steering assistance even when your cruise control is off), and more driving models with tuning options.
And one of my favorites: Sunnypilot has its own excellent Sunnylink web app. From your phone or laptop, you can monitor your device, switch models, push updates, and change settings remotely — all without needing any cloud account.
Still 100% open-source, free, local, and you own everything. No subscriptions.
@nickneely00 We maintain and ship a minimal distro right now, but we'll see how it plays out!
We mostly want to build the intelligence kernel, but Google still ships AOSP on their own hardware.
Who wants to join our product team and finish Project F*ck Azure?
The final step is making our app (comma connect) p2p, for a better user experience and alignment.
Email [email protected]. No experience required, just great programming skills.
We just moved all of our metrics from the cloud to our own datacenter. Data goes directly from users to our computers for training, debugging, and metrics.
We've always trained models without the cloud, but now only user-facing services are left in the cloud.
The @comma_ai 4’s cooling game is legitimately impressive.I honestly haven’t even noticed when the fan kicks on.They engineered a custom “MAX cooling system” around the Snapdragon 845 MAX chip, bigger central fan + optimized airflow channels that pull way more air than the 3X. Result? Continuous performance with zero thermal throttling, even when it’s baking on your windshield in 90°F+ Wisconsin summer heat. And it stays nearly silent. No more random fan screaming or forced cool-downs like older units. This is what real-world open-source hardware looks like, built for ownership, not planned obsolescence.
