FrogPilot is free, open-source driver assistance for comma devices that adds dozens of features to openpilot. It’s experimental, a little froggy, and yours to shape however you like! Remember, stay attentive and always be ready to take over!
openpilot is free, open-source driver assistance software made by comma. It runs on a comma device, which mounts on your windshield and connects to your car through a car harness. On 335+ supported cars it steers to keep you centered in your lane and, on many of them, manages your following distance and speed, while you stay alert and ready to take over.
FrogPilot is a fork of comma’s openpilot that adds its own features and settings on top. It installs the same way and runs on the comma 3, comma 3X, and comma four. It’s highly experimental and unofficial, so always use it with care!
Everything below lives in your comma device’s Settings → FrogPilot menu. Take five of them for a spin: flip a setting and watch what the car does.
Steering that stays on when you tap the brake.
On stock openpilot, tapping the brake turns everything off, steering included. With this on, FrogPilot keeps steering the whole time cruise control is switched on.
Cruising. Steering and speed control are both on. Tap the brake.

Chill on the open road, Experimental when it counts.
It cruises in Chill Mode and hands over to Experimental Mode, where the driving model picks the speed, only while a trigger applies.
Open road, cruising in Chill Mode at your set speed. Send something down the road.
SimulationDriving Controls → Gas / Brake → Conditional Experimental Mode
Slows for curves before you get there.
In Chill Mode, stock openpilot doesn’t slow for curves ahead. This sees them coming and slows down on its own, early and smoothly.
Open road at your set speed. Pick a curve and a profile, then send it.

Works the gas and brake like a careful driver.
Smooth on the brakes, quick off the line! Human-Like Following reads where the car ahead is headed so FrogPilot can ease off early and brake gently, and with Human-Like Acceleration it gets rolling right behind traffic. Both are on out of the box.

FrogPilot can start slowing early and ease gently into the stop.

Cruise at the speed limit, up to your set speed.
It follows the posted limit plus your offset, and your set speed is always the ceiling. Try raising it, reordering the sources, and changing the offsets!
No more fiddling with the set speed. It follows the limit, plus your offset.

Speed Limit Offsets
FrogPilot has a separate offset for each range of speed limits, 0–24, 25–34, 35–44, 45–54, 55–64, 65–74, and 75–99 mph. The demo shows the one for the current limit.

A simulation, drawn to show the idea. The Curve Speed Controller speeds and speed limit example come from FrogPilot. The scenery and other speeds are illustrative. The gas and brake demonstrations need a car where openpilot controls the gas and brake.
Tuning Level decides how many settings your device shows. How deep do you want to go? Pick a depth in the pond to open it: each one lists the menus that gain settings there, and a tap on a menu shows what each of them does.
