According to Hotz, the performance of the kit developed by Comma.ai is equivalent to Tesla's autopilot function. In the kit, there are no sensors in order to realize automatic operation, it seems that this is realized with only the camera. That confidence is manifested in the word "If Tesla's auto pilot is" iOS "in the world of automatic driving cars, we want to be" Android ".

However, the release within the year is quite limited, and it is expected to be deployed only in the Bay Area. Mr. Hots invoked laughter by comparing its scarcity to "Kanye West sneakers" that were sold out in just 10 minutes.
