The openpilot roadmap lives in the repository and on GitHub. The source of truth for major release goals is docs/contributing/roadmap.md in the repo, while GitHub Milestones and Projects track the finer-grained work leading up to each release. For real-time discussion on work in progress, the #current-projects channel on Discord is the most active place to follow along.
The items below reflect the roadmap as published in the repository. For the most current status, check the live GitHub resources linked at the bottom of this page — milestones and projects are updated continuously as work lands.

openpilot 1.0

openpilot 1.0 will ship a fully end-to-end driving policy — the culmination of years of model research and data collection from comma devices in the field.
1

End-to-end longitudinal control in Chill mode

The driving model will handle acceleration and braking decisions directly in Chill mode, replacing the rule-based longitudinal planner with learned behavior from real-world driving data.
2

Driver monitoring with sleep detection

The driver monitoring system will gain sleep detection, improving its ability to identify and alert on the most dangerous form of driver inattention.
3

Rolling updates pushed by CI

Release delivery will shift to a rolling model where CI builds and pushes updates automatically, reducing the gap between when changes land and when users receive them.
4

panda safety 1.0

Safety constraints in the panda firmware will reach a stable 1.0 API. Tracked in the panda safety 1.0 project.

GitHub resources

The following GitHub resources track active and upcoming work across openpilot:

Milestones

Minor release milestones with associated issues and pull requests.

Projects

Shorter-term projects not tied to a specific release. Tracks ongoing work across the codebase.

Bounties

Paid individual issues. A good entry point for contributors looking for well-scoped work with clear acceptance criteria.

openpilot bounties project

The canonical list of open bounties with detailed expectations for each item.

Community discussion

Active development discussion happens in the #current-projects channel on the comma Discord. This is where contributors share work-in-progress, ask questions about roadmap items, and coordinate on larger efforts before opening PRs.
If you’re planning to work on something that touches a roadmap item, check #current-projects first. Someone may already be working on it, or a maintainer may have useful context on what approach is most likely to land.
