# openpilot

> openpilot is an open-source advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) that upgrades the driver assistance features of supported vehicles with lane centering, adaptive cruise control, and more.

openpilot is an open-source advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) developed by comma.ai that enhances the driver assistance capabilities of compatible vehicles. It provides features like automated lane centering, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warnings by leveraging the vehicle's existing sensors and a dedicated hardware device. The system is designed to be community-driven, with safety as a core principle, and supports a wide range of vehicles from major manufacturers. openpilot runs on comma.ai's hardware (comma 3X) and is continuously improved through contributions from a global developer community.

- **Lane Centering** — *Automatically keeps the vehicle centered in its lane using camera-based perception and control algorithms.*
- **Adaptive Cruise Control** — *Maintains a set speed and safe following distance from the vehicle ahead.*
- **Forward Collision Warnings** — *Alerts the driver to potential forward collisions detected by the system.*
- **Driver Monitoring** — *Uses a driver-facing camera to detect driver attentiveness and issue alerts if distraction is detected.*
- **Open-Source Codebase** — *The full source code is publicly available on GitHub under an MIT license, enabling community contributions and transparency.*
- **Wide Vehicle Compatibility** — *Supports hundreds of vehicles from brands including Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, GM, Ford, and more.*
- **Safety-First Design** — *All changes must pass a rigorous safety model review; the system is designed to require driver supervision at all times.*
- **Community-Driven Development** — *Developers can fork, modify, and contribute to the project, with custom forks ("community forks") widely used.*
- **Getting Started** — *Purchase a comma 3X device, install it in a supported vehicle, and flash openpilot via the comma.ai setup process or build from source.*
