For the car you already own

The car you own, with a better copilot

If your exact car is on comma.ai's supported list, openpilot can add lane centering, adaptive cruise and driver monitoring. Send us the car and we check it for you, then reply by email with a straight answer.

Lane centering
Adaptive cruise
Driver monitoring

A plain unbranded dark sedan on a round floor inside a loop of glowing violet lane rails with lane dashes running round it; the driver-assistance retrofit parts float around it on thin leader lines: a windshield camera, a driver-monitoring camera cube, a steering wheel ring with lime light strips and a pulse running round it, and a front radar sending lime ripples forward, with two checkered calibration boards turning slowly behind

01 / What it does

Assistance that works with your factory hardware

openpilot is open-source driver-assistance software made by comma.ai. On supported makes, models, years and configurations, comma's documentation lists these features. What each one controls varies by car.

Lane centering

Continuous steering assistance that keeps the car centered in its lane, instead of reacting only when it drifts toward a line.

Steering assist

Adaptive cruise

On supported configurations it manages speed and following distance, including acceleration and braking, within the limits set for that car.

Speed and gap

Driver monitoring

A camera watches for distraction or drowsiness while assistance is engaged. It checks on you; it does not replace you.

Eyes on the road

Assisted lane changes

comma's product materials list lane-change assistance as part of the openpilot experience on supported cars. You still check your mirrors and the road.

Illustration: a dark sedan on a looping test track with a windshield camera, a driver camera, a steering wheel and a front sensor floating around it, beside two checkerboard calibration targets — **Illustration, not the actual hardware**The parts of a driver-assistance system, pulled apart so you can see them. A real openpilot setup is a device mounted behind the windshield plus a harness made for your specific car. comma.ai describes the hardware on its own site.

02 / Compatibility

Compatibility is exact, so we check first

Support depends on the precise car, not the model name alone. Two cars that look the same can differ in the factory camera, radar or steering setup. That is why the answer starts with your details, not a purchase.

01Model year
02Make and model
03Trim
04Factory driver-assist package
05Market it was sold in
06Current software support

Factory adaptive cruise and lane keep are a good clue. They are not a guarantee.

03 / How it works

From your car's details to a straight answer

No account, no payment and no hardware to buy before you know if your car is supported. You send the details, Lucky reads them and replies by email.

The hardware is made and sold by comma.ai. If you want it put in for you, we do hands-on installation in the Pacific Northwest. We are based in Seattle and will travel for the right job. Pricing depends on the car, so ask for a price when you send it.
Calibrate, then drive supervised
You, at the wheel
Follow comma's setup and calibration instructions, then get to know how the system behaves on your car with your hands ready and your eyes on the road.

04 / Safety

This does not make the driver optional

NHTSA describes systems that combine lane centering and adaptive cruise as driver assistance, where the driver must stay engaged and alert. comma itself presents openpilot as driver assistance with your eyes kept on the road. Read NHTSA's page on driver assistance.

You stay responsible

Eyes on the road, hands ready to take over, and you follow traffic laws and the system's limits. Always.

Compatibility is exact

Year, trim, factory equipment, market and software support all matter. "It has lane keep" is not enough by itself.

Behavior varies by car

On some cars openpilot takes over steering, speed or both from the factory system. The exact notes for your car decide what changes.

No affiliation

We are independent. We are not comma.ai and not an authorized comma installer, and we do not speak for them.

"Self driving" is the name of this site, chosen because it is what people search for. What actually gets installed on a supported car is driver assistance. We would rather you hear that from us before you hear it from the road.

06 / Questions

What "self driving" means here

Short answers to what people ask first.

Does this make my car fully autonomous?

No. Make My Car Self Driving is the name of the site. openpilot is driver assistance: you keep your eyes on the road, stay ready to take over and remain responsible for the car.

What does openpilot actually control?

On supported cars, comma's documentation describes lane centering and adaptive cruise functions. Whether it controls steering, speed or both, and how it works with your factory systems, depends on the exact car.

Will any car with adaptive cruise and lane keep work?

No. Those features are a good clue, but support depends on the exact year, make, model, trim, factory driver-assistance package and sometimes the market the car was sold in. comma.ai's own supported-car list is the reference.

How long does installation take?

It depends on the car and its harness. comma publishes its own setup guide. When we reply about your car, we tell you what it needs rather than quote a time that may not fit it.

Do you install it?

Yes, in the Pacific Northwest. We are based in Seattle and will travel for the right job. Pricing depends on the car and its harness, so send your car with the form above and we will reply with a price.

Can I install it myself?

comma.ai sells car-specific hardware and provides a setup guide, so many owners do. We are here for people who want a second opinion on compatibility or help finding their way through it.

Do you sell the hardware?

No. Nothing is sold on this site. comma.ai sells its hardware on its own site.

Is this site comma.ai?

No. This is an independent site run by MADITECH. It is not comma.ai, not affiliated with comma.ai and not an authorized comma installer.
