#kommu is a #malaysian technology #startup that offers an affordable, plug-and-play solution to add Level 2 #autonomous driving features to existing #vehicles. Their flagship #product, #kommuassist, is designed to retrofit popular #car models from #perodua, #proton, #honda, and #toyota with advanced driver-assistance capabilities. A) What is KommuAssist? ✓KommuAssist is a Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (#adas) that provides features such as: ✓Adaptive Cruise Control (#acc): Automatically adjusts the vehicle's speed to maintain a safe distance from the car ahead. ✓Lane Keep Assist (#lkas): Helps keep the vehicle centered within its lane. ✓Stop-and-Go Functionality: Manages #braking and #acceleration in traffic jams. ✓#driver Monitoring: Alerts the driver if signs of drowsiness or distraction are detected. ✓Pre-Collision Warnings and #emergency Braking: Provides alerts and applies brakes if a potential #collision is detected. The system operates using "bukapilot," an #ai-based #software trained on Malaysian road data, ensuring better adaptation to local driving conditions. B) Installation and Compatibility KommuAssist is designed for non-intrusive installation, meaning it doesn't require cutting or splicing into the vehicle's #wiring. This approach helps preserve the car's warranty and original #safety features. Installation can be done at Kommu's headquarters in Petaling Jaya or by following a guided self-installation process. C) Pricing and Availability As of now, the KommuAssist 1s is priced at RM3,799, with #flexible installment options available. The package includes a 1-year #hardware warranty and long-term software and #firmware support. D) Legal and #insurance Considerations While Malaysia currently lacks specific regulations for autonomous driving systems, Kommu is actively collaborating with the My Autonomous Vehicle (#myav) committee, which includes the Ministry of Transport (#mot), Road Transport Department (#jpj), and other agencies, to develop appropriate guidelines. Regarding insurance, Kommu states that installing KommuAssist should not void existing coverage, but users should consult their insurance providers for confirmation. E) Future Developments Kommu is working on enhancing KommuAssist's capabilities by incorporating additional #sensors, such as peripheral cameras, to improve the system's field of vision and better handle complex driving scenarios.
