I don't know what is ECU

I don't drive.

Basically you are sending command through CANBUS

I don't even have a car myself

But I would love to have a thing I can use when the rented car has a shit GPS/RADIO thing.

The radio is what bothers me the most.

How about using Google maps

Or a Garmin system.

That won't sort the radio...

Garmin?

Oh... I think my flatmate has one... somewhere. ?

It's a GPS, right?

Yes

It will have android auto support so..

Android auto is open source

Okay.

I'm happy with a decent radio, or better, a simple way to access my music and play it during the trip.

All in all, I don't mean to visit the Himalaya. Just going from a city to another avoiding the Autobahn.

Autobahn = German main highway

Just in case.

Autobahn = German main highway

Autobahn has no speed limit, right?

Just heard it somewhere, want to know if it's correct

Yes

My idea is like

No matter how old is your car

We can upgrade your technology in your car to Tesla level

We can upgrade your technology in your car to Tesla level

Interesting idea, basically custom software for cars

We need to talk to CANBUS.

Also for GPS you could look into using OSM

Open source?

It's very easy to add a back up camera to your car too.

With a open sourced software everything become easier.

While this idea is wonderful, it's not quite so straightforward. ?

all you need is a raspberry pi

I agree, it's likely that every car brand (perhaps even model) have their own proprietary bullshit everywhere

all you need is a raspberry pi

The cost of doing this could be pretty bad depending on the extent of upgrades required, to start.

This as well.

We are not talking to PCM

BCM codes and commands are very easy and straight forward

Then you need to understand that "Tesla level" is far beyond just strapping sensors and a Pi to the vehicle.

what we are doing here is simulate a button input

BCM codes and commands are very easy and straight forward

How sure can you be that car makers are actually following these standards

There are no standards but a lot of them are available online already

BMW coders are often very familer with KOMBI and BCM codes and modules

Tesla level interior tech….. not autopilot and those shit..

Ah, I see. :)

Alright then, but you still have the other problem of hardware

A Pi won't be enough

What we need to do is splicing in to CANBUS, using Ethernet or LIN protocol just like Tesla

You also need to have GPS and connect this custom system to the stereo system

I really don't know anything about this CANBUS you're talking about, so maybe it is doable

I really don't know anything about this CANBUS you're talking about, so maybe it is doable

CANBUS= control area network

Basically when you press a button in your car, such as sport mode

It sends a code to computers

Via CANBUS

I just opened Libreoffice and looks normal. How do I get that experimental mode you mention?

Setting>advanced>enable experimental features, then in the menu you can enable the notebook bar...thing is, it was correctly sized in fedora 26, and it started to be this way after the f27 upgrade

Well, isn't the statement clear? You have to add an efi partition

Add a new partition sized 500 mb to 1 gb and set a flag: /boot/efi

Have you formatted it with an EFI filesystem?

What about doing automatic partitioning?

Have you formatted it with an EFI filesystem?

What do you mean?? I've tried to format to ntfs, fat32, ext4, bot no one solved problem

What about doing automatic partitioning?

There is an error.. I'll send it now

Well, my fedora says it's an efivarfs

ERROR: S client not available

Are we sure the disk is using GPT?

What is it?

Hello! No.. How can i check it??

Autobahn has no speed limit, right?

That's correct. On the other hand, if you have an accident and were driving over 120km/h it will be your fault regardless how the accident happened. Also, not all the parts in the Autobahnen or speed limit free. In many tracts you have a huge banner warning of a limit for one reason or another, or none. Just because in the part you shouldn't drive too fast.

Over 130*

I don't know why people make such a fuss about the speed limit. In Uruguay (where I born) it's the same. There's no general max, but you have parts were there is a limit. So I don't see why all the exciment.

Yes, thank you. ?

Well, most people I know really dislike speed limits and only follow them loosely :/

And compared to the Uruguayan, Brazilian & Argentinians, Germans drive slowly. Maybe not in the Autobahnen but in the rest of routes and inside cities/towns... they look like snails to someone used to the southern part of South America.

Well, most people I know really dislike speed limits and only follow them loosely :/

Yeah, I know. In Uruguay, they do their best not to follow them at all. Imagine the accidents rate...

Oh really? I already feel bad when other people drive with 70 instead of 50 through cities ^^

Oh my. I mean the driver who drove too fast kinda...well, not "deserved" the accident, but at least provocated it, but the poor dude he crashed into :/

Well, between 1 and 2 people died every day in traffic accidents in Uruguay. That was the rate when I left. It's probably slightly higher now.

That's really bad :/ Guess one can only hope for automotive cars to be successful

Meh. Knowing them, they will find the way to sort it and put it to drive as fast as possible when no inspector/police is looking. Which means half of the country and most parts of the capital.

I rather hope for some miracle, let's say a crisis of fuel or something that will leave them with no cars at all, and force them to use bikes.

Oh, and of course, motorbikes drivers don't use helmets or protections of any kind, and way too often don't even use lights. "They are too expensive", according to them.

I doubt that that's going to happen, people are so used to going everywhere quickly, without doing exercise

"Too expensive" lol. I'd value my live higher

What? That's ridiculous

See? :D

I know. But it seems to be the only solution. There are no trains (except for cargo and some few towns), and buses aren't particularly safe. They're new and everything, but drivers are often overloaded with working hours and don't sleep enough. Thus provoking accidents themselves.

I walk 12 miles per day, so it's not that I don't value using my legs.

"Too expensive" lol. I'd value my live higher

Yeah, me too. But well. It's a cultural thing I suppose...

But where do you live? If you don't mind to say. I wasn't talking in general, I was talking about the particular situation I mentioned above.

In a city with a population just above 1mil.

In Arizona, US, so things are a bit different regarding infrastructure

Very different. And you have state patrol, isn't it? I've been told they're not people you want to play games with.

Very different. And you have state patrol, isn't it? I've been told they're not people you want to play games with.

We've got everything from city police, county police, sheriffs, state troopers, US Marshalls, and because of our proximity to the border, large presence of border patrol and federal agents.

So it's hard to get away with much

LOL I see

Why so many different police?
