In the presence of restricted lanes or construction zones.
openpilot is designed to be limited in the amount of steering torque it can produce.
The driver must always keep control of the steering wheel and be ready to correct the ALC system action at all times. Openpilot Automated Lane Centering (ALC) system does not automatically drive the vehicle or reduce the amount of attention that must be paid to the area in front of the vehicle. This means that while the system is engaged, the actuators are constrained to operate within reasonable limits. The vehicle must not alter its trajectory too quickly for the driver to safely react.The driver must always be capable to immediately retake manual control of the vehicle, by stepping on either pedal or by pressing the cancel button.
We have designed openpilot with two other safety considerations: However, even with an attentive driver, we must make further efforts for the system to be safe. In order to enforce driver alertness, openpilot includes a camera based Driver Monitoring (DM) system that alerts the driver when distracted or asleep. openpilot can steer, accelerate, and brake automatically for other vehicles within its lane. It performs similarly to Tesla Autopilot and GM Super Cruise. Currently, openpilot performs the functions of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Automated Lane Centering (ALC) for compatible vehicles. Comma openpilot is an open source driver-assistance system.
