I have actually tried BMW Smart Eye and GM super cruise. Comma.ai’s Open Pilot driver monitoring is far superior to both of those.

What OP was implying, is that the Tesla system mentioned on the article is on par with offerings from other OEMs from 14 years ago.

How did you try them? I thought they were hidden deep down away behind the OEM layers?

I have tried their the demo systems at several occasions, (they have been developong them in 20y) but not comma.ai's.

For example they calculate the opening speed of your eyelid with high precision, the gaze direction output is within a few degrees of error. You can almost cover your complete face and it will still track your head pose with extreme precision. The list of outputs are long. Pupils, glasses, faceid, blinks (velocity, duration), drowsiness /, perclose, the 3d geometry of the head, facemasks, gender, and a lotbof aggregatet values.

But comma.ai maybr has this too?

I don't believe you.

Open Pilot can't use your blindspot cameras or any other additional sensors in your car. If I try to merge into another lane, and someone is in my blind spot, Open Pilot will try (and will crash my car).

Super Cruise and Smart Eye don't have this problem.

And yes, I have an Open Pilot for my Lexus RX 450h.

I thought the topic of this thread was driver monitoring and driver drowsiness detection?

What you're describing is the entire semi-automated driving system + driver monitoring feature. Another Apple to Oranges comparison...

It's obvious to anyone familiar with Open Pilot that it can't access OEM blindspot cameras since it only uses the Comma Two smartphone cameras and hooks into CANBUS. So I am not really sure what point you're trying to make here.

Seeing machines and Smart Eye are DMS (driver monitoring systems). They have only acces to 1 camera in these cars and outputs details of the driver (gaze direction, head pose, eyelid etc.). What and how the outputs are used for are up to the OEM.
