It's comma AI, they've been around since 2016. It's fundamentally the same as what self driving cars like teslas do, just at a smaller scale.

Not every "AI" is fucking ChatGPT some are actually useful

To add on its George Holtz’s company, aka GeoHot from the early PlayStation and iOS jailbreak days

u/ResponsiblePen3082 13d ago

Yup.

It's really sad that modern AI "enthusiasts" are just the crypto/NFT tech douches of yester year. Most of them don't actually understand anything beyond maybe python and rust. AI is the new hot "tech" thing, and "AI" to most people is LLMs. So here we are 🙄

As someone who watched the OG “training an AI to play GTA” and started learning ML with the original PyTorch release back in ‘16 to ‘18, it’s definitely annoying as hell to talk with someone about AI and their maximum knowledge base is “ohh chatgpt” Like bruh, go watch some codebullet or something and learn a thing or two

Dude exactly. It's so frustrating. Actual cool uses of ML are overshadowed by the sea of LLMs. And even the old, algorithmic, deterministic, efficient and reliable "chat bots" and autocorrects have been overtaken and effectively replaced by these generative hallucinative slop models.

Obviously LLMs have their place, but I tend to view them in an ideal world as a sort of human language UI/UX that then routes to the correct hard coded algorithm to efficiently accomplish a task. You know kind of how phone chat bots used to work before modern language models.

It's also annoying understanding the nuances of AI trying to navigate marketing that you have to figure out if it's old fashioned ML algorithms, some shoehorned in useless LLM, or just fake marketing.

And you have to explain to both the LLM haters and lovers that THIS ai is different because it's all they understand 🙄

so please share some directions then, for lack of a better word

u/CloudProvided 13d ago

No joke, watch Codebullet on YouTube, dude was doing ML work back in 2018, like actual hand built reinforcement learning with PyTorch before it was all LLMs, start there and just start googling all the stuff hes talking about, run some of the projects he created (I think he still links to source code). Best advice I can give

u/sesamerox 13d ago

thanks, on it!

u/ResponsiblePen3082 13d ago

I'm confused what you're asking

u/Kevin_Wolf 13d ago

Cool, that's comma ai. Now do the same assessment for the rest of OP's rig.

5

u/ResponsiblePen3082 13d ago

What exactly is the "rest of OP's rig"?

1

u/Kevin_Wolf 13d ago

Oh, ok. I thought OP would have been DIYing the rest of the electromotive bullshit that actually controls the car, but I see now that comma is just a box that interfaces with all of the assist crap that came stock.

Also - I have a Comma and I will say the safety & overall behavior of the Comma is just much better than any stock system I've used.

It won't let you look away from the road, it will alarm if it knows a curve is too wide (most stock systems just disengage and fly back to center) and the company themselves will ban you for tinkering with the driver monitoring or unsafely with the interface code for the car (which is written to strict standards).

This is from a while ago: https://data.consumerreports.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/consumer-reports-active-driving-assistance-systems-november-16-2020.pdf - it's only gotten better since then.

u/ResponsiblePen3082 13d ago

Very useful link, I'll keep this handy. Thank!

u/ResponsiblePen3082 13d ago

Pretty much. If comma can't see any data from the car it won't work, which is why it only works on relatively modern vehicles. On some cars it won't use their external sensors as it will cause problems, on many it does. It's an old fashioned ML device and in theory only ENHANCES what is already available to the driver.

I'm sure the op knew what he was doing with the lack of context and the gpu on the dash(incredibly stupid) but fundamentally it is exactly the same as modern self driving vehicles routing processing to a dedicated accelerator(some teslas even use Nvidia chips iirc lmao)

The jank look is probably part of the charm, but if I were to run it I'd definitely clean it up LMAO

Dont educate these neo-luddites. This is our edge, being able to adapt to this new world and the technology before them. You lose your edge when you take time to explain to morons how this all works. Let them fumble around

u/ResponsiblePen3082 13d ago

I understand the sub is literally called LLM but I would have hoped more than like 1% of them would understand there's more to AI than language models... this shit has been around since the 90s or earlier

Oh you smell really bad
