Converting an existing car to fully autonomous driving at 1.1 million won?

The comma two devkit was installed in 15 minutes by comma.ai, a company led by the genius hacker George Hotz, who transformed a regular vehicle into an autonomous vehicle in one month. It is a kit that allows you to convert a general car into a fully autonomous vehicle.

This product consists of a comma two, a device corresponding to a navigation device, and a set of tools for car mounting of the comma two. The installation tool includes a small device called Panda that connects the comma two to the car by connecting it to the OBD-II port of the car’s self-diagnosis function, and a connection cable.

In the actual demonstration, the camera cover mounted on the top center of the windshield is removed and the connector connected to the camera is connected to the OBD-II plug provided with the installation tool. Next, connect the other plug to the camera and connect the LAN cable and OBD-C cable. Then, use double-sided tape on the top to attach it to the roof and fix it. Connect the LAN cable to the OBD-II port near the pedal and attach the comma two to the vehicle. Remove the double-sided tape cover on the comma-to-bottom and connect it to the vehicle OBD-C cable. The installation is finished by pasting the comma two on the top center of the windshield.

According to the company, the installation takes about 15 minutes. However, since the software is not installed, the open source autonomous driving system openpilot provided by COMMA AI must be installed separately. Of course, in the case of supported vehicles, you should check through GitHub in advance.

Open Pilot supports more than 50 models. Among them, the open pilot is optimized for models equipped with a cruise control that maintains an appropriate distance between vehicles and a lane departure prevention support system that automatically adjusts the lane to drive to the center. The comma to dev kit is priced at $999. Related information can be found here .
