DIY AI Vehicle Kit:
openpilot is an open source driving agent.
Currently it performs the functions of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) for Hondas and Acuras. It's about on par with Tesla Autopilot at launch, and better than all other manufacturers.
The openpilot codebase has been written to be concise and enable rapid prototyping. We look forward to your contributions - improving real vehicle automation has never been easier.
Hardware
Right now openpilot supports the neo research platform for vehicle control. We'd like to support other platforms as well.
Install openpilot on a neo device by entering https://openpilot.comma.ai during NEOS setup.
Supported Cars
• Acura ILX 2016 with AcuraWatch Plus
o Limitations: Due to use of the cruise control for gas, it can only be enabled above 25 mph
• Honda Civic 2016 with Honda Sensing
o Limitations: Due to limitations in steering firmware, steering is disabled below 18 mph
*there are other compatible vehicles, but the parameters must be adjusted

The Hardware:
The neo is an open source robotics research platform. It is powered by a OnePlus 3 smartphone and an STM32F205-based CAN interface board, in a 3d-printed housing with active cooling.
The neo platform includes NEOS, a stripped down Android ROM designed for robustness and to get out of the way of your software. It also provides a modern linux environment for easy development.
Why
You cannot get a higher performance embedded processor than what's shipping in modern smartphones. They also come with an impressive array of sensors and radios, and are very low cost.
For some background see the work of Android Based Robots.
Build
The neo is designed to be very easy to construct. You need to be able to shop online and use a soldering iron.
There is a very detailed guide with instructions on what to order and how to build a neo.
