Learning to Drive from a World Model

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Your browser does not support the video tag. Examples of simulation rollouts using the World Model. Frames with blue, red, and green borders represent context, future anchoring, and simulated frames, respectively. Notice how the simulated frames comply with the future anchoring by executing lane changes, or turning the...

openpilot 0.9.8

openpilot team — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 11:00:00 +0000

As an openpilot user, this release brings you Gas Gating, a 10ms e2e latency reduction, a new Toyota longitudinal tune, and openpilot longitudinal control for Fords. You’ll also notice reduced driver monitoring false positives and your device running cooler thanks to an optimized image processing pipeline. Under the hood, we’ve...

Happy 10k Day!

Today, we sold the 10,000th comma 3X, our first product breaking 5 digits in sales. We do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy Hardware is hard. Making a product that offers more value than it costs is hard. We...

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...

openpilot 0.9.7

openpilot team — Thu, 13 Jun 2024 15:00:00 +0000

New driving model This release includes improvements in the driving model. In 0.9.6, we made lateral planning completely end-to-end, with the model directly predicting a desired curvature. In this release, we made the model aware of its previous predicted curvature by feeding it back as an input (#31616). This made...

A Drive in the Office

Armand — Tue, 21 May 2024 18:00:00 +0000

billy roaming around, 2x speed Useful Robots It’s 2024 and the only useful robots you can buy are still coffee machines and roombas (also a third secret thing). Hardware is becoming cheap and ubiquitous while capabilities are still largely limited by software. The comma body is a simple robotics devkit,...

openpilot 0.9.6

openpilot team — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Driving model improvements This release has two notable driving model improvements. In the Blue Diamond model, we increased the number of unique images that are used to train the Vision Model, in addition to applying more regularization (weight decay) and removing the Global Average Pooling from the FastViT architecture. These...
