What is openpilot?

openpilot is an open source driver assistance system. Currently, openpilot performs the functions of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Automated Lane Centering (ALC), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) for a growing variety of supported car makes, models, and model years. In addition, while openpilot is engaged, a camera-based Driver Monitoring (DM) feature alerts distracted and asleep drivers. See more about the vehicle integration and limitations.

What is FrogPilot? 🐸

FrogPilot is a fully open-sourced fork of openpilot, featuring clear and concise commits striving to be a resource for the openpilot developer community. It thrives on contributions from both users and developers, focusing on a collaborative, community-led approach to deliver an advanced openpilot experience for everyone!

DO NOT install the "FrogPilot-Development" branch. I'm constantly breaking things on there, so unless you don't want to use openpilot, NEVER install it!
