Proprietary Comma AI

The Comma AI appears at first to be quite "open", but it is built upon a lot of proprietary infrastruction. For example, in the docs on using ssh to access the device, step one:

1. You need a GitHub account. Make one if you don't already have one.

From: https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/wiki/SSH

So despite being "open", work will need to be done to use this device without proprietary tools. I'm guessing this issue will be found throughout the toolchain as I dig deeper. It already needs a libre fork.

Perhaps a list starting here of proprietary parts:

  • OpenSSH access to the device "needs" a Github account.

  • Development on Github.

  • Discord for chat.

  • SSH on the device uses Microsoft proxy.

  • Also has GSM device, doing who-knows-what.
