Hacker George Hotz, who spat on his project of universal autopilots, suitable for any cars, again decided to do business and made small boards called Panda with universal connectors that are suitable for almost all cars manufactured after 1996. The boards will be distributed free of charge to collect as much data as possible for the users of the company's future developments. The equipment will provide vehicles with relative autonomy, after all, through the ODB2 connector, you can even send signals to the gas pedal and brake.
Data collection company will not limit itself and will offer various paid services, among which is disabling advertising, which by default will be broadcast through the equipment Comma.ai. Hotz believes that this model will be able to become successful in the future. It is much more profitable to distribute such equipment for free, while having access to some auto systems - so developers will have the opportunity to have a guaranteed income from advertising.
At the end of last year, Comma.ai launched the Chffr application, the most active users of which will receive bonus points and eventually will be able to exchange them for their own Panda card, which has a processor, a Wi-Fi module and a charging connector for smartphones.
