Key facts

What openpilot does (primary comma.ai): comma.ai's openpilot page describes an open-source driver assistance system that performs adaptive cruise control and automated lane centering, and states it works on 350+ car models. The driver must stay alert and be able to retake control. The page says a driver-monitoring camera alerts on distraction. This is an assistance system, not a driverless stack (comma.ai)
Stated deployment scale and recent releases (primary comma.ai): The same page says 20,000+ users have driven over 300 million miles with a device running openpilot, and that over 56% of those miles were engaged with the driver supervising. Release notes on the page include openpilot 0.11 on March 17 2026, titled as the first robotics agent fully trained in a learned simulation, and 0.11.1 on June 5 2026 for driver-monitoring improvements. Treat mileage and user counts as comma-stated (comma.ai)
Openpilot supported functions: Comma's documentation describes openpilot as an open-source driver-assistance system providing adaptive cruise control, automated lane centering, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and camera-based driver monitoring (openpilot documentation).
Openpilot vehicle interface: Comma says openpilot uses a vehicle's existing electronic interfaces to provide acceleration, braking, and steering inputs, while requiring the driver to remain attentive and ready to take control (comma openpilot).
openpilot driver-assistance scope: comma.ai describes openpilot as open-source software that provides adaptive cruise control and automated lane centering when paired with supported comma hardware (comma.ai openpilot).
Docs definition: The openpilot docs define the system as a semi-automated driver assistance stack that improves steering, acceleration, and braking on supported vehicles while requiring an attentive driver (openpilot docs).
