If you have long highway commute each day, you will benefit from this! 

 

OpenPilot is a Level 2 driver assistance system, it enhances the garbage Lane Keep Assist (LKA) we have in these trucks. The way it currently works is introducing its own steering commands that the factory system accepts to provide minor steering adjustments to keep you in the center of the lane. (Its more than this, but this is the short version)

 

Given that it is using the factory system to provide steering power, it will never exceed the factory allowed safety commands to rip the steering wheel out of our hands. Unlike may other OEM systems that follows the lane lines, this uses human taught driving to provide a more natural behaviour (can be seen that it hugs right on undivided highway for example). This system is similar to SuperCruise in the manner that it monitors the driver visually for any distractions, this means it is a true hands-free experience for majority of your highway driving. Currently, OpenPilot does not control the throttle and braking, it is still handled by the factory ACC system. This is a very reliable setup, but eventually, it will take over gas and brake to do amazing things such as cut-in mitigation. 

 

Here is a short video of it in action:

 

I am one of the few first hand users for this system, it has dramatically reduced my driving fatigue for my daily 25 minutes commute. Few of the issues we have is that our vehicles are really tall, we need more driving data of a tall vehicle to "teach" the system to drive even better on this platform. 

 

Few of the possible features that is currently possible in the foreseeable future update includes:

 - Better Adaptive Cruise that slows down earlier and smoother than stock

 - Automatic Lane Changes without needing to nudge steering wheel (May require blind spot monitor signal implantation to work)

 - Stop and Go for automatically resuming from a lead car starts moving

 

Things we probably wont see in this platform:

 - No full self driving (due to steering is not available below 10 km/h)

 

Requirements:

 - 2020 or 2021 with ACC and LKA options

 - Comma 3 unit with GM Camera Harness (I believe it is immediately available now through purchasing on their site) and the black harness box

 - Trim tools (if you like to make things nice and pretty, Torx screw driver set with extended shaft driver to remove the overhead center console to hide the harness)

Do you really get fatigued from driving 25 minutes?

C'mon man.

 

25 minutes usually is ok, but when you do long trips, this thing is amazing. It is something you have to experience to understand the value of it. Another reason why SuperCruise is only available on some highway. OpenPilot will work in heavy traffic as well, takes some effor of keep accelerating and braking over long period of time. 

 

I know it can be subjective, but there is no denying that micro adjustments during drive is part of human input. Over time, needing to stay in a fixed position will fatigue. this is a fact, no need for arguments.

 

I now have the freedom to stretch and move my legs around, this is a huge plus. I show up to work energized, not stressed out from slower drivers etc. 

 

But, if that is all you took from this write up, then I dont understand why you are browsing the mods or even appreciate the technological advancement.

Will this system work on a 2024 Silverado?

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
