openpilot 0.10

openpilot team — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 11:00:00 +0000

What comes after 0.9? After three years on the 0.9 series, we welcome you to the 0.10 series. openpilot 0.10 is defined by its entirely new training architecture. While it’s a new stack, we focused on preserving the reliability of the previous generation models, so this release should feel familiar....

openpilot 0.9.9

openpilot team — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 11:00:00 +0000

New driving model As we prepare to ship driving models trained in our new ML Simulator, we are porting over small but necessary changes to the existing reprojective simulator. We do not expect this release’s model to perform much differently than the previous release’s model, since this change is minor...

RL for car controls

Ellen — Thu, 12 Sep 2024 18:00:00 +0000

Can ML learn car controls? A generic end-to-end ML solution to robotics requires the ML to learn everything between the sensors and actuators. There are many impressive examples of ML algorithms learning things such as robot dogs doing backflips, and humanoids doing a spinkick, but they typically rely on some...

Autonomy

Harald, Head of Autonomy — Tue, 23 Jul 2024 18:00:00 +0000

The autonomy team’s goal is to build robotic agents. Agents that are open-source, useful, and that you can fully own. Our main product and current focus is building the world’s best ADAS system. But the methods and strategies we are using to solve these problems are generic, they are not...

Refactoring for Growth

Adeeb Shihadeh — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 16:00:00 +0000

In 2020, we announced the unconjoined triangle of success made up of the research, openpilot, and operations teams. Over the last four years, those teams shipped two products, a robotics platform, 3 major and 30 minor openpilot releases, the first end-to-end driving agent, and a drive to Taco Bell without...
