sunnypilot is a fork of comma.ai's openpilot, an open source driver assistance system. sunnypilot offers the user a unique driving experience for over 250+ supported car makes and models with modified behaviors of driving assist engagements. sunnypilot complies with comma.ai's safety rules as accurately as possible.

To use sunnypilot in a car, you need the following:

• A supported device to run this software
  • a comma three, or
  • a comma two (only with older versions below 0.8.13)
• This software
• One of the 250+ supported cars. We support Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan, Kia, Chrysler, Lexus, Acura, Audi, VW, Ford and more. If your car is not supported but has adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, it's likely able to run sunnypilot.
• A car harness to connect to your car

Detailed instructions for how to mount the device in a car.

It is recommended to read this entire page before proceeding. This will ensure that you fully understand each added feature on sunnypilot, and you are selecting the right branch for your car to have the best driving experience.

This is a fork of comma.ai's openpilot. By installing this software, you accept all responsibility for anything that might occur while you use it. All contributors to sunnypilot are not liable. ❗Use at your own risk.❗

All official sunnypilot branches strictly adhere to comma.ai's safety policy. Any changes that go against this policy will result in your fork and your device being banned from both comma.ai and sunnypilot channels.

The following changes are a VIOLATION of this policy and ARE NOT included in any sunnypilot branches:

    • Red🔴: Laneless mode & M.A.D.S. engaged
  • White⚪: M.A.D.S. suspended or disengaged
  • Black⚫: M.A.D.S. engaged, steering is being manually overridden by user
• Developer (Dev) UI - Display various real-time metrics on screen while driving
• Stand Still Timer - Display time spent at a stop with M.A.D.S engaged (i.e., at traffic lights, stop signs, traffic congestions)
• Braking Status - Current car speed text turns red when the car is braking by the driver or ACC/SCC

• Fast Boot - sunnypilot will fast boot by creating a Prebuilt file
• Disable Onroad Uploads - Disable uploads completely when onroad. Necessary to avoid high data usage when connected to Wi-Fi hotspot
• Brightness Control (Global) - Manually adjusts the global brightness of the screen
• Driving Screen Off Timer - Turns off the device screen or reduces brightness to protect the screen after car starts
• Driving Screen Off Brightness (%) - When using the Driving Screen Off feature, the brightness is reduced according to the automatic brightness ratio
• Max Time Offroad - Device is automatically turned off after a set time when the engine is turned off (off-road) after driving (on-road)

The goal of Modified Assistive Driving Safety (MADS) is to enhance the user driving experience with modified behaviors of driving assist engagements. This feature complies with comma.ai's safety rules as accurately as possible with the following changes:

• sunnypilot Automatic Lane Centering (ALC) and ACC/SCC can be engaged independently of each other
• Dedicated button to toggle sunnypilot ALC:
  • CRUISE (MAIN) button: All supported cars on sunnypilot
    • LFA button: Newer HKG cars with LFA button
    • LKAS button: Honda, Toyota, Global Subaru
• SET- button enables ACC/SCC
• CANCEL button only disables ACC/SCC
• CRUISE (MAIN) must be ON to use ACC/SCC
• CRUISE (MAIN) button disables sunnypilot completely when OFF (strictly enforced in panda safety code)

Dedicated toggle to handle Lateral state on brake pedal press and release:

1. ON: BRAKE pedal press will pause Automatic Lane Centering; BRAKE pedal release will resume Automatic Lane Centering. Note: BRAKE pedal release will NOT resume ACC/SCC/Long control without explicit user engagement (strictly enforced in panda safety code)
2. OFF: BRAKE pedal press will NOT pause Automatic Lane Centering; BRAKE pedal release will NOT resume ACC/SCC/Long control without explicit user engagement (strictly enforced in panda safety code)

• TURN SIGNALS (Left or Right) will pause Automatic Lane Centering if the vehicle speed is below the threshold for Automatic Lane Change
• Event audible alerts are more relaxed to match manufacturer's stock behavior
• Critical events trigger disengagement of Automatic Lane Centering completely. The disengagement is enforced in sunnypilot and panda safety

Dynamic Lane Profile (DLP) aims to provide the best driving experience at staying within a lane confidently. Dynamic Lane Profile allows sunnypilot to dynamically switch between lane profiles based on lane recognition confidence level on road.

There are 3 modes to select on the onroad camera screen:

• Auto Lane: sunnypilot dynamically chooses between Laneline or Laneless model
• Laneline: sunnypilot uses Laneline model only.
• Laneless: sunnypilot uses Laneless model only.

To use Dynamic Lane Profile, do the following:

1. sunnypilot Settings -> `SP - Controls` -> Enable Dynamic Lane Profile -> ON toggle
2. Reboot.
3. Before driving, on the onroad camera screen, toggle between the 3 modes by pressing on the button.
4. Drive.

This fork now allows supported cars to dynamically adjust the longitudinal plan based on the fetched map data. Big thanks to the Move Fast team for the amazing implementation!

Supported cars:

• sunnypilot Longitudinal Control capable
• Stock Longitudinal Control
  • Hyundai/Kia/Genesis (non CAN-FD)
  • Honda Bosch
  • Volkswagen MQB

Certain features are only available with an active data connection, via:

• comma Prime - Intuitive service provided directly by comma, or
• Personal Hotspot - From your mobile device, or a dedicated hotspot from a cellular carrier.

Features:

• Vision-based Turn Speed Control (VTSC) - Use vision path predictions to estimate the appropriate speed to drive through turns ahead - i.e. slowing down for curves
• Map-Data-based Turn Speed Control (MTSC) - Use curvature information from map data to define speed limits to take turns ahead - i.e. slowing down for curves²
• Speed Limit Control (SLC) - Use speed limit signs information from map data and car interface to automatically adapt cruise speed to road limits
  • HKG only: Highway Driving Assist (HDA) status integration - on applicable HKG cars only²
  • Speed Limit Offset - When Speed Limit Control is enabled, set speed limit slightly higher than the actual speed limit for a more natural drive²

  • CAN platform
  • CAN-FD platform with 0x1CF broadcasted in CAN traffic
• Honda Bosch
• Volkswagen MQB

Instruction

**📗 How to use Custom Longitudinal Control on sunnypilot **

When using Speed Limit, Vision, or Map based Turn control, you will be setting the "MAX" ACC speed on the sunnypilot display instead of the one in the dashboard. The car will then set the ACC setting in the dashboard to the targeted speed, but will never exceed the max speed set on the sunnypilot display. A quick press of the RES+ or SET- buttons will change this speed by 5 MPH or KM/H on the sunnypilot display, while a long deliberate press (about a 1/2 second press) changes it by 1 MPH or KM/H. DO NOT hold the RES+ or SET- buttons for longer that a 1 second. Either make quick or long deliberate presses only.

‼ Where to look when setting ACC speed ‼

Do not look at the dashboard when setting your ACC max speed. Instead, only look at the one on the sunnypilot display, "MAX". The reason you need to look at the sunnypilot display is because sunnypilot will be changing the one in the dashboard. It will be adjusting it as needed, never raising it above the one set on the sunnypilot display. ONLY look at the MAX speed on the sunnypilot display when setting the ACC speed instead of the dashboard!
