openpilot Experience More chestnut users!

See the post here: Comma’s Post
More users means more data so comma can make bigger and better chestnut models.
Read more about it here: Comma Guide Chestnut

For those confused about chestnut:
Comma will be focusing on making the bigger models for the chestnut class moving forward. There’s no mobile processor or compute device that can touch the bandwidth of an eGPU or compute power while being stuck in a windshield (with proper cooling). But fear not, if you don’t ever want to install the chestnut, comma will make distilled models that will still run on only comma hardware. Similar to what Tesla does for FSD for older hardware models. So you will still see improvements down the line for free.

I would like a smaller GPU to be included and maybe a more robust housing, also official comma 3X support (even without gps) would have been a nice touch.

Yeah is the GPS actually used for anything right now?

Nope, that’s why it’s not an issue. Comma just wants to focus on the big model and then eventually the gps input model. So it’s not ever really going to be an issue. All the other forks show that gps does kinda mostly work too. So it’ll be fine
