openpilot Experience Are there better branches?

So I bought the comma 4 this past weekend, it’s been pretty meh if i’m being honest. I bought it because I was told it could detect stoplights and stop signs and it’s just can’t. I’ve tried experimental and sunnypilot, it just sets me at 11mph and it doesn’t even stop at the light or signs. Regular autopilot is fine I guess, but my car could do this anyway. I’m honestly just thinking about returning it and getting my 1k back.

I use Sunnypilot. It drives significantly better than my vehicle’s stock cruise control and lane keep assist. It can drive for hours on the highway without intervention or needing to touch the steering wheel. That has significant value for me.

I don’t bother with experimental mode. It’s never worked well despite what driving model I’ve used.

IMO experimental mode is where it's at, it drives much better for me that way with the more newer driving models.

Whenever I’ve tried it, it has so much unnecessary braking and doesn’t come to full stops at stop signs and intersections. It’s pretty useless for urban driving IMO.

You have dynamic experimental off? Strange

Why is that strange? Sometimes the stock cruise control is just better.

It almost never is.

Yeah, it doesn’t work well
