Autonomous driving is poised to help make driving far safer but is still a ways off, so the Comma Two OpenPilot driver assistance device has been developed as a way to help drivers integrate the technology now. The system works by being mounted onto the dashboard and will go to work monitoring the road ahead to automatically brake, accelerate, stay in a lane and even steer. The system will sound an alert if it detects a [distracted driver](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/incabin-monitoring-system) and will automatically disable the autonomous functionality to keep operators safe.

The Comma Two OpenPilot driver assistance device is priced at $999 and features an open-source design that will provide programmers with a way to tweak or customize the software how they like.
