## What it is
openpilot is an open-source operating system for robotics that currently functions as an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) for 300+ supported car models. It provides adaptive cruise control, automated lane centering, and driver monitoring by connecting to a car's CAN network via a comma device.

## Use cases
- add adaptive cruise control and lane centering to my supported car
- upgrade my car's stock driver assistance system with open source software
- build a self-driving car research platform
- port openpilot support to a new car model
- run neural network driving models on embedded automotive hardware
- replace factory ADAS with better lane keeping and no wheel nags

## When to choose
- you own one of the 300+ supported car models and a comma device
- you want open-source, community-developed driver assistance with driver monitoring
- you're researching autonomous driving and want real-world driving data and models
- you want to contribute car ports or improve ADAS algorithms

## When to avoid
- your car is not on the supported cars list
- you need a plug-and-play solution without buying a comma device and harness
- you require certified, manufacturer-warranted driver assistance
- you cannot accept the legal and safety responsibilities of modifying your car's driving systems
