#BD - Blue diamond V2
175 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Anyone tried BDv2 yet?
I’m updating rn
Key things noticed: long control is the best I’ve had on full e2e no DEC. I also noticed it’s much better when it has a lead car in front. My test was on highway. Also last was the best so far for me on my tests, but it was already the best with v1
I noticed that also. Was wondering what wizard stuff was going on
Interesting. Did you notice a similar leap longitudinal wise from NLP to FV?
Cause that was my initial impressions with FV.
Not that significant as right now
But it was noticeable too
But I’d always enable DEC
I didn’t have the feeling of wanting to do that on my test drive with v2
Maybe Sunny will give us a Christmas gift of stock radar tracks with experimental mode 😂
Interesting. Guess I'll have to give BD another shot cause longitudinal is my main priority with new models and I didn't notice much of a difference with V1.
Yeah give it a try , it’s easy with our model selector now tho
I’m proud of that 😂😂😂
Are you just comparing supercombo.onnx history changes on all the official branches?
On bd-driving, when we see a different hash we pull
I drove less than a mile. During this, nothing that used to work previously did. It didn’t make any turns, gave me steering warning, and at one point just stopped in the middle of the road. I gave it time to figure things out because I had no one behind me. After it completely stopped, it drove back again.
Ah okay, so it still requires some manual additions when they make a new model.
Did you reset calibration ?
This is not helpful, I need to drive more. I’ll share tomorrow when I commute.
Yup.
Currently they have not made any code changes just model changes
Usually after calibration you gotta drive a little still before it works okay, although I did not have that feeling at all
I’m really liking BDv2 so far… seems to improve 90 degree turns a ton
Interesting.
This is probably one of the best models I’ve tested.
100%
E2E longitudinal in city traffic is pretty good what the heck
Steering is so freaking stable and natural
Wow
Turned off DEC to fully test the model
Now @wheat forum needs to tell us if his car can make 10 degree turns with the new model 😅
-cries with the model not even getting close to the speed limit-
And wow, both Laneless and E2E long has been great
Joking ofc
Now you all gonna make me go out on a second drive. 😅
Do it
How do these models handle day and night, I was always curious about that.
I haven’t tested roads with no painted lane lines yet but so far main roads are great
Usually nighttime isn’t that good for me
Man, I feel comfortable using full E2E now
I’ve only disengaged long very little times and used the gas pedal to change lanes
Stoppppp you’re gonna make me bust ||out my c3 to turn off DEC||
yeah. what the heck is right
someone with a taller vehicle try it and tell me if it's yuck for you too or just me
Try mounting your c3 to your bumper for a lower view. Problem solved 😅
honestly. solid recommendation
Gonna try some testing after my son goes down.
😡
heh, model doesnt creep to the line when a car makes a right in front.
i used to prioritized turning ability when testing, now its the overall
feeling of the drive. Basically how high is my confidence on the model on my way to and back from work - see my latest vid. I give it a 9.8 out of 10 ( latest setup) If you guys dont mind, on a scale of 1 to 10 what is your confidence level on BDv2 (lateral)?https://youtu.be/LTsdEbQfm-U?feature=shared&t=949
10/10 so far on BDv2
keep that in mind , then look for regression after a few weeks of testing. i have this running theory on calibration.
Secret good version
Glad they are detecting cones now also
Tried it tonight on my 22 ridgeline. It was riding the left line at first on local city roads, but seems to have stabilized after a few miles. I changed lateral to auto, so not sure if that had any impact. Longitudinal seems to work better at stopping vs when I was using NLP on frogpilot. Pretty natural on the interstate and when I came back on local roads.
I put it in experimental mode to see if it’d stop at stop signs right after that install. It’d start slowing, but then ultimately stopped braking a few ft before the intersection and I’d roll through.
Did it mantain the speed limit?
Very impressive!
If you’re asking me, yeah, but I hit consistent traffic so it slowed down a lot
Just had my first drive using BDv2 this morning going to work. Was a bit anxious considering it was pitch dark outside at 5 am. Did a calibration reset, DEC on and everything on running experimental mode and set to map first and I have to say this was the smoothest drive I've had so far since I got my 3x in my IONIQ5. Everything just felt so good. Lane keeping, breaking, everything. Best model so far if you ask me.
You still had DEC (which is honestly muuuch better in the last updates we’ve done) but this model had me comfortable / happy even with DEC off
BD V2 is a great improvement in lateral and longitudinal as well. 😀 ❤️
Currently using v2 on my .morning driver on the hwy. DLP auto still seems to be the best. Haven't tried e2e as the bolt tune is dog poo up stream. Unless that's been tweaked.
What is DEC?
Dynamic Experimental Control. It intelligently flips between ACC and the Experimental Mode based on surrounding environments/scenes
Thanks. I’m still not used to the acronyms. Not sure if it’s better to keep it on or off.
I did an hour drive just now, with mixed highway/ and in city. My conclusion is that V2 is worse for me than all the models before.
Calibration is reset yes. What do you mean by torqued?
I started recording after it stopped there inching in for about 15 seconds. But look at the second intersection where nav is telling it to go left.
Third intersection nav also wants it to go left.
Ah, the low speed override with radar tracks
Yea that’s not a model issue, but more of a control issue
You just got unlock for some of these scenarios lol
Radar tracks detected some objects that confused vision to believe it was a lead car
It’s sort of a known issue for cars that have radar tracks when using OP long (most Toyota).
Gotcha. I’m guessing the “take control immediately” also forced the car to stop, confusing the model on the second intersection.
You can see that with the chevron being locked on some random objects at low speed in both clips.
That’s when low speed override was messing with the controls.
Anything I can do?
I may add a toggle to mitigate this. There’re pros and cons to disable not using radar tracks at low speed, but I’ll see what I can do.
It used to do these turn before. But maybe i was just lucky back then where it didn’t detect these objects.
But this is just 1 minute of my drive. It did a whole lot weird stuff all through the drive that BD didn’t do nor FV.
DEC is still much better to use.
I was testing the model fully in E2E just to see how it performs
Yeah, I’ll turn it back on. It was on half of the way.
It’s still better than full E2E.
Also side note, not sure if this is something you can control, or if I’m even considering all the situations. But you know how the map sometimes doesn’t have a speed limit, is there a way to tell it to assume previous speed limit of speed limit is null?
Since I have the car on say 45, I’m driving on a 25mph road, if map doesn’t give it a speed, the car just goes full on hot wheels 🤣
Because it assumes since there is no speed limit here, it will switch to my set speed of 45, and accelerates as fast as it can to that speed.
You would have to go to Open Street Map: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=2/71.3/-96.8
Update the area that you want the speed limit changed, wait a week, then update OSM on your comma in your settings. If not, try car first for SLC (Speed Limit Control)
That's something Toyota may have to deal with for a little while, "User Confirm" Engage Mode doesn't work for Toyota, which was target to solve this issue.
Does DEC work if EM is turn off?
No.
sunnypilot - 0.9.5.1 (2023-11-17)
========================
* NEW❗: Dynamic Experimental Control (DEC) thanks to dragonpilot-community!
* Automatically determines and selects between openpilot ACC and openpilot End to End longitudinal based on conditions for a more natural drive
* Dynamic Experimental Control is only active while in Experimental Mode
* When Dynamic Experimental Control is ON, initially setting cruise speed will set to the vehicle's current speed
Thanks
My only wish is that I could set a destination and use it to know when to turn, but not have it navigate and try and turn and brake to follow the route. I’ve been caught off guard a couple times when I went a different way and the car abruptly stopped from 50 mph because it wanted to do a U-turn. Glad no one was behind me. I wish there was a toggle to turn NAV on or off, but still use the map.
Something similar happened to me today, but on another extreme. Nav wanted to take an exit, but it’s a bad one to take. So I continued going forward. While I was doing that, for a second the GPS though I was on the 35mph bridge I was driving under, and immediately wanted to break on the highway from 60 down to 35.
Oh that's just SLC being weird.
But yea, looking to improve on Toyota/Ford's SLC experience soon.
I understand. This is all new technology which we are building and flying at the same time. I’m not complaining, I know what I got my self into 🤣
Thank for all your work!
Have fun!
What
DEC off and drives awesome
I’m impressed
Good job Sunny and great job on the model (whoever I’m giving credit too)
What’s DEC again?
The entire research team at comma. But first go by a really tall car and then try it 🤭
oH lol thank you! my stock cruise is pretty bad so I stopped using it and just forgot about it 😂
I’ve been driving around for 2 hours, some expressway and some secondary roads w/traffic lights. On the expressway I found on a long straightaway it will occasionally hug the right side of the lane (tire about 1 foot from line) and gently move to the left side of the lane and almost touch the left side of the lane. I suppose you could call that ping pong, but it was very gentle and over a long distance. Other times it just stayed right in the middle of the lane.
Overall it was satisfactory.
I’m likely driving from Orlando FL to Richmond VA over Christmas and I will try out BDv2 over an 800 mile road trip. If I don’t decide to fly. I drive a 2018 Prius w/SDSU.
Had my first drive with the model as well. This one does right turns and curves perfectly whilst going over line in sharp left turns. Farmville went over lines in both left and right sharp turns. On straights farmville drove very centered for me, but this one is more left biased, to the degree that i want to keep hands on wheel when meeting oncoming traffic in left lane.
Also this one is smoother i.e smoother movements of the wheel compared to farmville. Farmville wasnt jerky, but still more so than this one.
Atm not sure if i will go back or stay on this
an example 😄
Interesting. My 2018 Prius will understeer, but I have never noticed over steering like your video. But, I’m new to SP. I’ve been using only stable versions of OP for past 3 years, up until a week ago.
Yea my steering torque has been boosted through the roof with NNFF (NNLC) and this means that it can oversteer when model messes up i guess.
I noticed that V1 it would hover around 40mph for 3 seconds or so before climbing back to 65. On V2, now it seems to hover around 30mph before climbing back to 65.
Have y'all noticed anything like this?
Just tried it out with experimental, DEC, NNLC, and camera SCC. It gets up to speed on stroads normally in a way that I won't get honked at, slows down sooner, and stops for yellow lights when it's close and all the red lights in my short straight trip. First time I've giggled with experimental and left it on for the whole trip
Same
Tried out for about an hour now with 4 trips, still slows down to 10-20km/h under the speed limit 🥲
Do you have DEC on?
What kind of car do you have?
No
2021 rav4
Drive with DEC on when on the highway so it stops slowing down
My stock ACC is pretty bad tho, and also it doesn’t really do stop signs and red lights as accurate anymore so I just do chill mode instead
Did you recalibrate when switching models?
Yes
pretty sure it will auto reset calibrate now right?
I take back what I said, without DEC it's kind of indecisive and slow
It’s very iffy. I’ve been working on long controls for ford recently and this is certainly the best model for long for acceleration though
My car doesn't have longitudinal support, so I can only really comment on steering/path performance. If i'm being honest, BDv2 is kinda a downgrade vs FV for me.
It seems to have this inherent suicidal desire to drift left whenever it's the least bit unsure, trying to drive me into painted islands, turning lanes, raised islands, and even oncoming traffic sometimes. I find it's worst when coming over small hills where you can't see the lanes ahead of you; where FV would continue going straight, BDv2 seems to assume that the road will suddenly turn left for some reason, and plans a path based on this crazy assumption. Hell, i've even seen the model planner draw a path straight over the lane lines and into some of the giant concrete barriers on the side of the highway a few times, even though it could see and detect the lane markings and road edge perfectly.
it may well be a huge upgrade for longitudinal, but it feels like a big step backwards for lateral imo
I've flipped back to DEC. BDv2 is good in some scenes but it's too unreliable atm
I take back the blue diamond . It’s garbage for me. Lane changes makes my car go to the other side of the road and randomly also. Too bad . Seems like comma makes one thing good and turns something else to shit
🤮
Luckily we can go back to old models
And sorry just venting . Not going to go back to stock to upload rlogs. But why is something always seems regressed every model
After more time with BDv2, I have to agree that Farmville is better. There is indeed some random pull to the left that's weird
Makes it too dangerous for me. You’ll be driving straight and randomly the car wants to go to the other side of the road and you can see it when the planner for the model is in motion. Complete dog sheet 💩
Lateral seems to have regressed 🤣
ppl going back to farmville or BDv1
I've gone back to fv, though I never tried bdv1
What is DEC?
Dynamic experimental control
Basically like the auto laneless setting, but for long instead of lat
Comma has tons of complaints over on driver feedback 😂 about over and under shooting 🙄
BD1 for me was much much better. I had to switch back as well. BD2 made the experience a worse for me.
Yea, BDv2 is still better for me lol
over ND?
I’m on bd v1 and I kinda like it better than bd. 2 and nd . I can’t pinpoint what it is, but I sort of feel v1 more stable than v2
BDv2 is still the most stable for me
ND actually seems better to me. Mine is ND, then BDv1, and last BDv2. Though, ND seems better at just staying in the lane. BDv1 did a few other things better, so it may just be which things are most important to you.
BDv2 was doing a bit of pingponging during the rain tonight though it seemed solid during dry day drives. Going to try out v1 to see how it compares
Can anyone with a Hyundai Motor Group vehicle (or specifically an E-GMP EV) comment on the driving model's steering performance? I'm in a Kia EV6 with the Farmville model and it's better than the older driving models but I was wondering if never models like BD2 would be an upgrade or a downgrade...
Same here. Doesn’t seem to like the left lane, cross winds (passing trucks) or uneven roads in my Outback. Steering is a bit choppy and abrupt. Waiting to see if it settles down.
Brand new here, hey everyone. I'll just throw in my 2 cents. Tried BDv2 two nights in a row. First night, rock solid, I was very impressed. Second night, it was ping ponging so bad, couldn't understand it. I'm going to give v1 a try tomorrow. Also turned on NNLC, hope that helps
BDv2 has been great for me for several weeks now, even in very challenging conditions. It also has the best E2E performance of all the models available, especially stop lights.
Tonight I got to put it through the wringer: Nighttime, Curvy Roads, Dense Fog.

BD v1 is better for me, tried v2 but had some weird issues and it hugged the lane more than v1. I tried resetting calibration twice on v2 and still v1 was better so I am running V1 until LA available on Sunnypilot
