Autosteer and Adaptive Cruise Control

[Letas]

One answer. Liability. No lawyer would let Slate add the hardware and a 3rd party developer do the SW integration.

Just leave the Slate be. Gray plastic with a BYOD interface.

I’m sure this legal barrier cannot be that serious, considering this product is already available to consumers….
And also fits the BYOD model you reference

Features like this are the antithesis of this product. They entirely miss the point and mission of it.

My $53K Ford Mach E and $70K Ford Lightning has those features including hands free driving (Blue Cruise) makes for long distance driving almost effortless.

Don't need those features in a low cost compact commuter utility truck for $25K.

That's not what the Slate is designed for....

"openpilot was packaged into a small, shippable device called the 'comma one', announced at TechCrunch Disrupt. On October 27, 2016, NHTSA issued a Special Order to comma.ai demanding detailed information about the comma one, to determine if the device complies with legally required Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. comma.ai responded in a tweet from Shenzhen, China, announcing the cancellation of the comma one."

So, when this magical device runs over and kills your family in a head-on collision because it lane centered into the opposite lane after becoming confused when a cicada splats on the windshield in front of the device's camera, you are going to sue some internet company based in Shenzhen, China? Really, this is considered a good idea?

Lol.

I know they don't want to develop this technology but if they included the hardware so the car could do it when using 3rd party hardware like Comma AI.

Not gonna happen
