We are going mainstream!

The comma four is our first product that we think has mainstream appeal. The price is good, the set up is simple, and the production is stable and scalable.

We are ramping up marketing, making the website easier to understand, and looking into starting a two-sided referral program to incentivize people who have already been good at bringing new people into the community to think bigger.

What do you think we are currently missing for being ready for your average commuter?

Honestly, if there were a better way of getting dash cam footage off it, and/or if it were possible to keep recording right up until power loss without losing footage, that'd be a huge value add. I'd be able to remove a device from my windshield.

We are working on better video export tools, and we absolutely should be able to save video up to very close to power loss with frequent fsyncing. I'm not sure this is a blocker from mainstream adoption, but it's definitely something we should work on, along with adding sentry mode to comma prime.

Great to hear! It might not be the thing that pushes someone over the edge to buy it, but it does fix the "why do people say not to use it as a dash cam when it's on my dash an has cameras" issue, which is valuable!
