sunnypilot is a fork of comma.ai's openpilot, an open source driver assistance system. sunnypilot offers the user a unique driving experience for over 250+ supported car makes and models with modified behaviors of driving assist engagements. sunnypilot complies with comma.ai's safety rules as accurately as possible.

🚘 Running on a dedicated device in a car

To use sunnypilot in a car, you need the following:

A supported device to run this software
- a comma three, or
- a comma two (only with older versions below 0.8.13)
This software
One of the 250+ supported cars. We support Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan, Kia, Chrysler, Lexus, Acura, Audi, VW, Ford and more. If your car is not supported but has adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, it's likely able to run sunnypilot.
A car harness to connect to your car

Detailed instructions for how to mount the device in a car.

🚨 Read Before Installing

It is recommended to read this entire page before proceeding. This will ensure that you fully understand each added feature on sunnypilot, and you are selecting the right branch for your car to have the best driving experience.

This is a fork of comma.ai's openpilot. By installing this software, you accept all responsibility for anything that might occur while you use it. All contributors to sunnypilot are not liable. ❗Use at your own risk.❗

⛔ Prohibited Safety Modifications

All official sunnypilot branches strictly adhere to comma.ai's safety policy. Any changes that go against this policy will result in your fork and your device being banned from both comma.ai and sunnypilot channels.

The following changes are a VIOLATION of this policy and ARE NOT included in any sunnypilot branches:

Driver Monitoring:
- ❌ "Nerfing" or reducing monitoring parameters.
Panda safety:
- ❌ No preventing disengaging of LONGITUDINAL CONTROL (acceleration/brake) on brake pedal press.
- ❌ No auto re-engaging of LONGITUDINAL CONTROL (acceleration/brake) on brake pedal release.
- ❌ No disengaging on ACC MAIN in OFF state.

🚗 Driving Enhancements

Modified Assistive Driving Safety (MADS)

The goal of Modified Assistive Driving Safety (MADS) is to enhance the user driving experience with modified behaviors of driving assist engagements. This feature complies with comma.ai's safety rules as accurately as possible with the following changes:

sunnypilot Automatic Lane Centering (ALC) and ACC/SCC can be engaged independently of each other
Dedicated button to toggle sunnypilot ALC:
- CRUISE (MAIN) button: All supported cars on sunnypilot
  - LFA button: Newer HKG cars with LFA button
  - LKAS button: Honda, Toyota, Global Subaru
SET- button enables ACC/SCC
CANCEL button only disables ACC/SCC
CRUISE (MAIN) must be ON to use ACC/SCC
CRUISE (MAIN) button disables sunnypilot completely when OFF (strictly enforced in panda safety code)

Disengage Lateral ALC on Brake Press Mode toggle

Dedicated toggle to handle Lateral state on brake pedal press and release:

ON: BRAKE pedal press will pause Automatic Lane Centering; BRAKE pedal release will resume Automatic Lane Centering. Note: BRAKE pedal release will NOT resume ACC/SCC/Long control without explicit user engagement (strictly enforced in panda safety code)
OFF: BRAKE pedal press will NOT pause Automatic Lane Centering; BRAKE pedal release will NOT resume ACC/SCC/Long control without explicit user engagement (strictly enforced in panda safety code)

Miscellaneous

TURN SIGNALS (Left or Right) will pause Automatic Lane Centering if the vehicle speed is below the threshold for Automatic Lane Change
Event audible alerts are more relaxed to match manufacturer's stock behavior
Critical events trigger disengagement of Automatic Lane Centering completely. The disengagement is enforced in sunnypilot and panda safety

Dynamic Lane Profile (DLP)

Dynamic Lane Profile (DLP) aims to provide the best driving experience at staying within a lane confidently. Dynamic Lane Profile allows sunnypilot to dynamically switch between lane profiles based on lane recognition confidence level on road.

There are 3 modes to select on the onroad camera screen:

Auto Lane: sunnypilot dynamically chooses between Laneline or Laneless model
Laneline: sunnypilot uses Laneline model only.
Laneless: sunnypilot uses Laneless model only.

To use Dynamic Lane Profile, do the following:

1. sunnypilot Settings -> `SP - Controls` -> Enable Dynamic Lane Profile -> ON toggle
2. Reboot.
3. Before driving, on the onroad camera screen, toggle between the 3 modes by pressing on the button.
4. Drive.

Enhanced Speed Control

This fork now allows supported cars to dynamically adjust the longitudinal plan based on the fetched map data. Big thanks to the Move Fast team for the amazing implementation!

Supported cars:

sunnypilot Longitudinal Control capable
Stock Longitudinal Control
- Hyundai/Kia/Genesis (non CAN-FD)
- Honda Bosch
- Volkswagen MQB

Certain features are only available with an active data connection, via:

comma Prime - Intuitive service provided directly by comma, or
Personal Hotspot - From your mobile device, or a dedicated hotspot from a cellular carrier.

Features:

Vision-based Turn Speed Control (VTSC) - Use vision path predictions to estimate the appropriate speed to drive through turns ahead - i.e. slowing down for curves
Map-Data-based Turn Speed Control (MTSC) - Use curvature information from map data to define speed limits to take turns ahead - i.e. slowing down for curves²
Speed Limit Control (SLC) - Use speed limit signs information from map data and car interface to automatically adapt cruise speed to road limits
- HKG only: Highway Driving Assist (HDA) status integration - on applicable HKG cars only²
- Speed Limit Offset - When Speed Limit Control is enabled, set speed limit slightly higher than the actual speed limit for a more natural drive²
Toggle Hands on Wheel Monitoring - Monitors and alerts the driver when their hands have not been on the steering wheel for an extended time

Custom Stock Longitudinal Control

While using stock Adaptive/Smart Cruise Control, Custom Stock Longitudinal Control in sunnypilot allows sunnypilot to manipulate and take over the set speed on the car's dashboard.

Supported Cars:

Hyundai/Kia/Genesis
- CAN platform
- CAN-FD platform with 0x1CF broadcasted in CAN traffic
Honda Bosch
Volkswagen MQB

Instruction

**📗 How to use Custom Longitudinal Control on sunnypilot **

When using Speed Limit, Vision, or Map based Turn control, you will be setting the "MAX" ACC speed on the sunnypilot display instead of the one in the dashboard. The car will then set the ACC setting in the dashboard to the targeted speed, but will never exceed the max speed set on the sunnypilot display. A quick press of the RES+ or SET- buttons will change this speed by 5 MPH or KM/H on the sunnypilot display, while a long deliberate press (about a 1/2 second press) changes it by 1 MPH or KM/H. DO NOT hold the RES+ or SET- buttons for longer that a 1 second. Either make quick or long deliberate presses only.

‼ Where to look when setting ACC speed ‼

Do not look at the dashboard when setting your ACC max speed. Instead, only look at the one on the sunnypilot display, "MAX". The reason you need to look at the sunnypilot display is because sunnypilot will be changing the one in the dashboard. It will be adjusting it as needed, never raising it above the one set on the sunnypilot display. ONLY look at the MAX speed on the sunnypilot display when setting the ACC speed instead of the dashboard!
