Using openpilot in a car
To use openpilot in a car, you need four things:
- Supported Device: a comma 3X, available at comma.ai/shop.
- Software: The setup procedure for the comma 3X allows users to enter a URL for custom software. Use the URL
openpilot.comma.aito install the release version. - Supported Car: Ensure that you have one of the 275+ supported cars.
- Car Harness: You will also need a car harness to connect your comma 3X to your car.
We have detailed instructions for how to install the harness and device in a car. Note that it’s possible to run openpilot on other hardware, although it’s not plug-and-play.
Branches
| branch | URL | description |
|---|---|---|
release3 |
openpilot.comma.ai | This is openpilot’s release branch. |
release3-staging |
openpilot-test.comma.ai | This is the staging branch for releases. Use it to get new releases slightly early. |
nightly |
openpilot-nightly.comma.ai | This is the bleeding edge development branch. Do not expect this to be stable. |
nightly-dev |
installer.comma.ai/commaai/nightly-dev | Same as nightly, but includes experimental development features for some cars. |

Safety and Testing
- openpilot observes ISO26262 guidelines, see SAFETY.md for more details.
- openpilot has software-in-the-loop tests that run on every commit.
- The code enforcing the safety model lives in panda and is written in C, see code rigor for more details.
- panda has software-in-the-loop safety tests.
- Internally, we have a hardware-in-the-loop Jenkins test suite that builds and unit tests the various processes.
- panda has additional hardware-in-the-loop tests.
- We run the latest openpilot in a testing closet containing 10 comma devices continuously replaying routes.
