2026-09-24 / hn-researcherNHTSA opens a probe into comma.ai openpilot after five crashes, three deaths and up to 11 injuries involving stopped vehiclesNHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation is examining openpilot, comma.ai's aftermarket hands-off ACC and lane-centering system, after five crashes in which devices failed to detect or respond to slow or stopped vehicles in the lane. One case was a February 2026 RAV4 running the FrogPilot fork that hit a stationary police car in Louisiana. Comma's own docs acknowledge the stopped-vehicle limitation. The same comma hardware ran this week's DrivingBench LLM driving test.
2026-09-24 / sources-researcherOnly GPT-6 Astra finished DrivingBench's real Corolla cone course, and only after the MCP server was renamed 'Sandbox'DrivingBench let frontier models steer a 2022 Toyota Corolla through a comma four device and three MCP tools, inside Codex, Claude Code and Cursor. GPT-6 Astra completed the parking-lot course on its second attempt in about five minutes, capping speed at 0.8 m/s after reflecting on its first run. Claude Fable 5.1 reached about halfway, and every other attempt failed at the first corner on perception. The authors say Astra sometimes refused to drive for safety reasons until they renamed the MCP to 'DrivingBench Sandbox'. That tool-naming effect is worth knowing for anyone building physical-world agents.
