OpenPilot isn't Open

Android, chrome, and vscode are all touted as open source by much of their functionality relies on closed sources binaries.

You are right, the only thing that seems not to be open in Open Pilot is that. But apart from the code to train the model, the project is almost entirely open source. I don't think that's as bad as, say for example, OpenAI

Hotz has mentioned that the training code is not public because it wouldn&#x27;t benefit anyone apart from those that are trying to wholesale copy the entire project. You can see model architecture and gleam insight from the decisions that they made. You can run simulations with the model and replay scenarios. You can add support for currently unsupported vehicles. Dev tools let you see signals generated.<p>There&#x27;s a lot of stuff you can do. But what they don&#x27;t let you do is easily clone the report, throw a few million in compute and repackage what they had built. I think it&#x27;s a reasonable restriction.

Love it ... “Open as in OpenAI” should be a standard phrase. Just like “Free as in beer”

&gt; &quot;This repo doesn’t have any training code. The training code is not public.&quot;

i dont believe that this complaint is valid unless the project itself provides no prototypical training data. if we produce a 3d gun design and someone asks for the 3d printing spools, are we gonna tell the design maker that its not trully open?<p>so unless someone tells me this repo provides no bootstrap training data, this is more a choosy beggar.

AKA the OpenAI definition of Open
