3 hours ago
- Comma.ai is under federal investigation after five crashes involving its driver assistance tech, resulting in three deaths.
- The NHTSA found the devices failed to detect stopped/slow vehicles; four crashes injured 11 people.
- Some crashes may have involved modified 'forked' versions of Comma.ai's software, like FrogPilot.
- Comma.ai's openpilot system controls ACC and lane centering but warns drivers to remain ready to retake control.
- One fatal crash in Louisiana (Feb 2026) involved a Toyota RAV4 running FrogPilot hitting a stopped police vehicle.
