Comma Company. Ai, created by jailbreak developer George Hawz, known under the name of Geohot, released an adapter that allows you to collect the readings of different car sensors. The $ 88 device, according to the hacker, allows everyone to "hack" their vehicle.
Many modern machines are equipped with auxiliary systems that allow partial or even complete automation of traffic, but in most cases such systems are installed by the manufacturer and not sold separately.
Sometimes enthusiasts try to automatically automate their driving, however, for the safest movement of the drones, it is necessary to process data from a large number of sensors. Automakers are not interested in this, so it is difficult to find the information necessary for developers in open sources. Geohot believes that this problem can be solved with the help of a new adapter Panda.
Unlike most adapters on the market, the Panda accessory for the diagnostic OBD-II connector provides not only basic information on the state of the engine and the main vehicle systems, but also collects a large amount of "raw" data. The CAN, LIN, and GMLAN standards are supported, and can also be synchronized with the application-autoregistrator chffr, so changes in the readings of the sensors can be compared with what is happening on the road. Also, the adapter can connect to the computer via USB or Wi-Fi.
To analyze the data, it is suggested to use the program comma cabana, which can work with both a Panda adapter and an "autopilot" Comma Neo.
Comma Startup. Ai appeared from the garage project Hotza, who turned his Honda Acura ILX into an unmanned vehicle. The company planned to occupy an empty niche of "external" autopilots with the Comma One device, which was intended for self-installation on modern cars, but later Geohot abandoned its plans because of the threat of a large fine from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Comma One Became Comme Neo - an open research platform.
