What is OpenPilot?

OpenPilot is an open source driver assistance system that performs:

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• Automated Lane Centering (ALC)
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
• Driver Monitoring (DM) — alerts distracted and drowsy drivers

Running on PC

All of OpenPilot’s services can run as normal on a PC without special hardware or a car. You can run OpenPilot on recorded or simulated data, plot logs, replay drives, and watch full-resolution camera streams.

OpenPilot can also run in simulation with the CARLA simulator, allowing the system to drive in a virtual environment on Ubuntu with a GPU.
