Nobody is making you do this, they're not even charging you for it. Comparing to a company worth billions is disingenious.

Those companies worth billions like GM and Tesla perform extensive testing to prove to regulators their software isn't going to kill people and does not pose an unacceptable risk to other drivers on the road. Do you get to sidestep all that if you post your code to GitHub?

The github repo says to use openpilot, you will need to buy a comma device[1], which they sell at $999.[2]

True. But what about the guy next to me on the 405? Or the guy driving towards me on Camino Real? They are kinda "making me do this".
