Comma 3 In The UK 

It certainly does, I love it, but my wife will not use it - she doesn't even like using cruise control!

No you don't need to unplug the battery - it's basically the same as plugging in a USB lead.

I previously asked George if it works the same way in the UK as it would in the USA and he said "Do you have roads in the UK?". So I guess it doesn't make a difference.

I'll look into doing that, the branch of openpilot I'm running (Sunnypilot Release C3) doesn't appear to stop for UK traffic lights, but does adjust speed to take corners at an appropriate speed as well as adjusting for speed limits, but not variable speed limits on the motorway (doesn't seem to be able to read the led signs).

​@@LiveActionFX I think it's because the traffic lights in the Uk are placed on the side while in the US they are above the road. Models are trained mostly by American drivers' data :(

It's very easy, all you have to do is link it to your home wifi, download Openpilot and select the 'Right Hand Drive' menu option (this just tells the rear facing camera which person to monitor to ensure the driver is paying attention to the road). Hope this helps and that you enjoy your EV adventure.

Yep - well worth it if you do a fair bit of driving each year (I average about 16,000 miles a year - so well worth it for my use case)

Not that I've noticed, I'm using the 'vanilla' OpenPilot from Comma, but I'm planning on trying out the SunnyPilot Fork (a tuned version coded by others, which works with the Comma 3) which is apprently better tuned to my E-Niro, this may or may not have additional features, if it does I'll do a video on that.

Not so much predict, but does slow down if something cuts into the planned and plotted route ahead. If there is no traffic in your lane and cars in a 'faster' lane are doing less than the speed limit, then it will undertake.

Motorway slip roads is the number one reason I disengage the ACC in my Passat, especially when everyone joining is bunched up barging into all 3 lanes. Do you find the Comma taking up windscreen space a distraction at all?

I mounted it as high as possibke tucking it close to the mirror, so I don't notice the soace it takes up, but I do occasiknzlly look at it and wonder why the view in my rear mirror is the same as thst seen through the front windscreen- it's not!

You don't do that on the Comma 3, it seems to overide the usual adaptive cruise control setting for distance to vehicle infront, in favour of its visual assessment of the road ahead which automatically varies the safety distance based on the speed that the vehicle is travelling - at motorway speeds it leave sufficient gap for other vehicles to manoeuvre through, but in slow moving traffic it leaves a much shorter gap, stopping with the rear of the vehicle infront just about visible through the windscreen.

@@LiveActionFX cool, thanks for the reply. One more quick q, on the comma site it appears that it supports some kind of navigation functionality - is this right? or does it just simply follow the road ahead?

@@edwardstuart5385 There is a subscription navigation package, but I don't subscribe to this, as when I looked it was just a poor relative of Google Maps, so my car just follows the road ahead. I believe Comma are working on integrating this so that end to end automatic navigation works, but I haven't looked into their progress on this, I may try it out once it's available.

@@LiveActionFX would be nice if it could grab the speed limit from nav app like waze if nothing else

@@a133m210 I'm now using the SunnyPilot fork on my Comma 3, it recognises the speed limits and flashes them up on the screen - apparently it is possible to have the system automatically moderate the speed to stay within the limits as they vary, but I can't access the discord servers to ask about what setting I need to make this happen (I messed up signing onto Discord and ended up with an account associated with my phone, without knowing the password and a seperate account for which I know the password, but cannot be associated with my phone, due to the other account!).

Since making the video I have found out that UK law hasn't caught up with the technology and I think the only 'hands off, eyes on' system approvd for use in the UK is Ford's blue cruise, despite the Comma being more capable. As such I keep at least one hand on the wheel, even though the comma is doing the heavy lifting. I let the comma 'make driving chill' on almost all motorway and A road trips and sometimes elsewhere. My comma has improved since the video, I use the Sunnypilot fork, which is great as it adjusts the speed to the speed limit and as appropriate for different bends - but the map it uses obviously doesn't define hump backed bridges, which are interesting when the comma wants to take them at 60 mph! If mine broke I'd certainly get another once I'd saved up for it.

I don't know for sure, but I'd guess that it wouldn't. I suggest you go to their website to find out: comma.ai as there is an ever growing list of makes and models that it does work with

I haven't made an installation video, but Kate at Transport Evolved did a good one. I'll try sndfind a link to post here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U9fC3LlX8O8.htmlsi=DHHul3buaj-P07BO

No I didn't

@@LiveActionFX Be careful, highly likely this could void your insurance if undeclared. And if you have a crash that's investigated they'll scour your social media for any breaks that can help them avoid paying out a claim. I imagine your cars computer will also show a record of this device being attached. I'm sure you're aware but worth reiterating for those who may not be. Really curious abut how this affectes premiums.

No, I didn't have to pay any import fees.

@@LiveActionFX how come?

@@3dmixer552 I don't know, I just ordered it and it came in the mail.

@@LiveActionFX You paid to comma for taxes and duties.

@@3dmixer552 I guess so, I wasn't charged any extra tax or duty when it was imported.

Me too. Currently waiting for the prices to come down, I cannot justify paying £400 a month for a car I'd never own.

PACC? the standard kia cruise control speeds up when the car in front goes round a roundabout. But the SunnyPilot fork of OpenPilot I'm currently running on my Comma 3 recognises this and not knowing what turn I want off of said roundabout, it asks me to take back control, which I hand back once past the roundabout.

@@LiveActionFX Predictive adaptive cruise controll. It uses camera for speed sign recognition and also navigation for corners and adopts the speed to the curve and also radar adjust the speed to the car in front of you. What you have is only adaptive Cruise control.. Openilot doesn't control speed only your ACC does.

SunnyPilot does recognise speed limit signs and apparently can stop you speeding (but I don't know how to activate this feature on my Comma 3). It also seems to drive at an appropriate speed for bendy roads, while using the ACC to monitor any cars infront.

@@LiveActionFX I don't know about that. It may interfere with acc. Like I said PACC uses map as well so it adjust to the curve. It also knows you are in a roundabout. I'll look into sunnypilot when I've got time

The Comma 3 has a map subscription that I don't subscribe to as when I looked google maps was more useful. But I see that Comma have now developed end to end driving, using maps and not requiring any driver input - check out their video about a drive to Taco Bell.

No, I haven't subscribed to the nav service, so I can't test that function.

@@LiveActionFX you don't need subscription. you need mapbox api key and it works the same as comma subscription
