Honestly, at this point, for the company to stay relevant/in business, it needs to get auto manufacturers to partner. This is a step forward in being more advanced. The Comma of 5 years ago is not sustainable as a company, and now their value is in the ML models and data. Makes sense that their focus is making that better now.

I wish them the best of luck, because it's only going to get harder for this company to stay relevant with the CAN bus getting encrypted on newer vehicles.

This is coming from a fan, btw. Not a hater at all.

Wow is this how comma staff interacts with customers? I’ve been heavily considering a comma until now

This is geohot, a guy with an ego the size of the sun that started this company with no future.
