Two things: 1. they have a cheap fuse (cents on the dollar) that’s not automotive-grade so your windshield mounted device fails in hot weather and doesn’t last past the hardware warranty. Known issue, doubt they ever fixed it.
2. 1B parameter model to stay between two lines. Why. Waste of time. Their product hasn’t actually changed in several years because they will never advance past lane keeping SAE Level 2.
I suspect for what they’re selling for $1,000+ these days, could you find a way to do for half? Less than that?
I mean after all, it still runs off a Snapdragon 845.
Nice tech, disappointing limitations and too expensive. The world moved on, Tesla is bad but a Waymo competitor would be more serious than this.

Maybe... you're answering your own question there?

Genuine question: does anyone else anywhere sell something like this? An all-in-one retrofitable level 2 self-driving gadget?
