Are you able to hide all the extra hardware under the OEM camera cover inside the Pilot? Or adapt it? The tech is awesome, but it does look a bit like a hack... I wonder if it is possible to hide some of the extra hardware better...
No. However I was able to make a cable that will allow for remote mounting of the Giraffe in the headliner that will allow the cover to be put back on. Some other users modify the cover so the Giraffe sticks through.
Jeffrey Nichols I would love to know where you found the male and female connectors for the cable you made, to mount the giraffe in the headliner. Any direction would be helpful.
Wow, I've been waiting for a device like this for years! I think it is ridiculous that you need to keep your hands on the wheel of a car that has a stock LKA. What's the point of AutoPilot if you have to keep your hands on the steering wheel. Great job to the OpenPilot inventor!
Tom Do I don’t have Openpilot on my Honda yet, but based on my research, the Pilot will only work in bumper to bumper traffic (stop and go) using an open source product called Comma Pedal. Otherwise, Openpilot will only activate acceleration above 25 mph and steering above 12 mph for the Honda Pilot. Other cars like the 2018 accord will activate at 0 and 3 mph, respectively. For more info, see community.comma.ai/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
Mike James says it depends on the car you have an older Honda will use a nidec system which will give you breaking ability with the Eon but it limits the stop and go authority newer Hondas such as the Accord have a Bosch system which means you can't control breaking it's all stock but it does let you stop all the way down to zero it's a trade-off
I will try to do that however the limitations are certainly an issue. It works really well on interstates but on turns it disengages quite a bit. This is a limitation of the Honda Sensing system, not OpenPilot and it requires hacking the code in the steering unit to overcome - most people are not going to do this.
I can tell you right now it's very limited lol it can't handle more then a 12% grade turn example being picture of an average onramp to a highway a eon can't do half that of a grade turn some Kia's can do a better noting noting Honda has its all firmware locked and it will never be unlocked ( anyone telling you different is going by others that also have no clue what there talking about because to unlock it you have to crack Honda's firm code which first of all only hand full of people in the world can even do and on top of it it's very expensive to do
If you make your own EON (load openpilot, not that difficult) it’s less than 400. 350 for the phone, panda and giraffe, and maybe $50 for mounting hardware, fans and heatsinks. More involved, but gets you the same experience (uglier tho, without extra work) for much cheaper. Join the comma.ai discord server and look on unsupported hardware. Everyone’s very helpful.
Jeffrey Nichols awesome! I just bought the package from comma last night. Can’t wait for it to come in. I’m glad you used it on the pilot 2019 as I have that vehicle too. Did you purchase the inverted giraffe or is that comma’s giraffe?
@@jeffreynichols Can you use the non gps panda or do this open pilot system require the gps panda version. Asking because the GPS panda adds quite a bit to the price.
Jeffrey Nichols I know it’s more expensive but a *Model X* can *tow and has room for the family* I get were your coming from though Regardless nice video
Yea though model 3 does not have any towing capacity so that's not really a fair judgement I mean like you said you could put it up against the model x but once again the model x is a laughable towing capacity and besides the point the pilot cost $45,000 fully loaded you couldn't get a wrecked model x for that lol
Nope. Sensing's LKAS only keeps you from leaving the lane but not necessarily centered, and doesn't give you the full steering torque since you should be the one steering. OpenPilot isn't like this, so you essentially go from level 1 autonomy to level 2 with this.
above 45 mph honda sensing does alright, but only if theirs very nice painted lanes, open pilot does a much better job in that situation as well as a great job in all other driving situations, its also being updated frequently
Thgis gives me PTSD flashbacks! maybe I am biased due to being in a head-on catastrophic accident. If this was found the insurance company would not have sent me a $45600 check. Not to mention voiding my warranty! People cant drive where I am, so I drive with constant 360. I was not at fault but that makes it worse. We are just not there yet with the tech, there is no way it can account for all these variables which are constantly changing.
Open Pilot's Eon has a camera facing the driver. You have to look forward facing. If you look away for 2 seconds, it starts beeping. And after another 2 seconds, it disengages. It's not possible to play on your phone or take a nap while using it (ahem, Tesla). Open Pilot will not make any sudden movements. It's intended to help with driver fatigue on long trips, not to compensate for a driver who doesn't want to pay attention.
still wayyyyy too much of a science project for like 95% of the public to bother. maybe the next generation will be better and have simpler install but still, the capability of such a system is always going to be seriously limited by the fact that it's just a single forward facing camera with relatively narrow field of view. It can never reach level 4 autonomy and ultimately has little market appeal when that's clearly the goal of so many other manufacturers.
Once they have a huge database of trips and a lot of machine learning models, the manufacturers will be queuing to make installation easy, especially those at the back of the self-driving car race. This will be their ticket to make their whole range self-driving overnight without the cost associated with developing your own system. The end-user will not even know the difference. I must say, I wasn't bought by this idea either at the very beginning, but when I saw the adoption and the progress they are making, it is mind-blowing. Also, bear in mind, that monocular vision research is the most powerful, as you can always add more sensors later and the focus is on software, and this is exactly what they are doing. This is a clear R&D exercise at this point, but once they penetrate the market, they will be able to negotiate with car manufacturers. Adding more cameras later on will be just a formality and will be on manufacturers side, as you want those concealed. Adding multiple cameras at this point, would slow down the adoption, it would increased the cost and made research and development more complex (i.e. how do you guarantee correct installation of extra side cameras by the end-user?). Then the whole 'comma' system could also be just integrated into car system Tesla-style. And I think this is their end-game. And to realize that this is a feasible future you just have to look at how GPS sat-nav was integrated into most car models.
Tesla quality .. hahaha ummm noo openpilot is light-years from autopilot I have both a new model 3 and a 18 Accord with a eon and yes I'm considering the fact that the eon can't control breaking but even if it could in the Accord the steering us good but farrrrrrrr from Tesla's grade while I get your points openpilot is a good starting point for somebody that can't afford a Tesla but it is completely wrong to compare the two, and its original CEO even agrees that they arent up to Tesla quality and precision
J. Ward it’s 3-4 easy to install parts, not that difficult. Open up the cover, plug in a few things, mount the EON and plug in a usb cable and you’re golden
