Our Self-Driving Update: The Good, Bad, and the Not So Good.
A few weeks ago, we made a video on the channel about Lidar - and its place in semi-autonomous vehicles. And in that video, Kate disclosed that both she and Nikki drive vehicles without LIDAR.
So today, we thought it about time we give you an update on the Chevrolet Bolt EV fitted with a Comma 3 and running a version of Frogpilot called Starpilot, Kate's Kia e-Niro and its Comma 3 unit, and finally, the long-awaited update to Ford's BlueCruise to version 1.4 thanks to an over-the-air update.
00:00 - Introduction
00:44 - Chevrolet Bolt EV - Frogpilot Update
02:47 - Starpilot picks up latest upstreaming
03:49 - Troubled data connectivity caused by a dead USB
07:01 - Lane changing
07:24 - A need to reset preferences
08:57 - Kate's Comma 3 is Broken.
10:25 - Things gradually got worse
11:14 - Following Comma's advice
12:10 - No more spares...
13:03 - Life without Comma isn't as good
14:31 - Ford Bluecruise
15:56 - OTA updates have improved capabilities over the last few years
17:13 - We got Bluecruise 1.4 via OTA!

19:14 - OTAs have been REALLY slow
22:43 - It's not just auto lane change
27:03 - Thanks, and Goodbye!
