I was a little iffy at first as well but after about 30 mins of watching what it does, I actually have more faith in OpenPilot than the factory LKAS system. The only crappy thing is my car doesn't steer below 60kph so I'm pretty much limited to using this on the highway. I was hoping to use it to crawl Low Level Road on my way home from work... LOL
This is far from a consumer product. It's still in the dev stage and it actually does a lot of data collection. It uploads your driving footage for you to review and explain why you took control or disengaged in certain situations. It lets the system learn how people actually drive.
If you have a compatible car and you like to mess around with it then give it a shot. If you want a self driving car then it's not for you... lol. It's still only Level 2 autonomy. You still have to be alert and aware of your surroundings and be ready to take control. It's basically Cruise Control 3.0.
