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.

github.com/commaai/openpilot/i

Screenshot of a github issue titled "22 Acura RDX - steering disables under 45mph". It reads: 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 and reports a manual steering required warning. I have traced the RCA to the release branch requiring factory ACC for longitudinal control. The factory ACC disables LKAS below 45mph, and therefore it appears the car ignores all comma steering commands. If install the latest devel branch, and enable comma longitudinal control instead of factory, then steering works at all speeds. I would expect some type of warning under 45mph, rather than a green path that the car just ignores. Or an preferred fix is to default release branch to comma longitudinal for this car model, either always or whenever under 45mph.

Candidate for understatement of the year: "This can be a safety issue if a driver is misled into thinking that steering is occurring"

The most damning evidence I've ever seen for "this device is only used by single people":

If you have a passenger they *also* have to be looking at the road or it sets off the "pay attention" alarm.

Or they can put their head on the dashboard.

A screenshot of a github issue titled "Pay attention alert with passengers". It reads: Any guidance on false "pay attention" alerts with a passenger. With someone in passenger seat, they can't look away from the road, like the driver and the C3 screams constantly. The only way to get it to not acknowledge the passenger is leaning all the way forward towards the dash. The software should have a selection for right or left hand drive.
