For purposes of this notice:

• "NAP" is the shorthand used throughout this notice to refer to the NotAutopilot codebase and distribution, including source code, compiled binaries, configuration files, packaging, installer artifacts, and accompanying documentation made available under the NotAutopilot name. "NAP" refers to the code artifact, not to any organization or person.
• "Project" means the organizational endeavor of NotAutopilot — the collective effort, mission, and governance of the NotAutopilot open-source initiative — including its maintainers, contributors, agents, representatives, and any other individuals or entities acting on behalf of, or in furtherance of, the NotAutopilot endeavor. The Project is the organizational counterpart to NAP; NAP is the artifact, the Project is the people and governance behind it.
• "User", "you", or "your" means any person who installs, downloads, executes, operates, modifies, distributes, or otherwise interacts with NAP.
• "Vehicle" means any motor vehicle on which NAP is installed or in which NAP is executed.
• "comma" means comma.ai, Inc., the developer and maintainer of the comma hardware platform and the openpilot driver-assistance software upon which NAP depends.

Where this notice uses general or catch-all terms following specific examples, those general terms shall be construed broadly and not limited by the specific examples preceding or following them. The doctrine of ejusdem generis shall not be applied to narrow the scope of any defined term in this notice.

NAP is alpha-quality, pre-release, experimental, and distributed for research, educational, and non-commercial evaluation purposes only. NAP is a community-maintained derivative work based on open-source components and is under active development. Functionality, behavior, interfaces, and safety characteristics may change, degrade, or be removed without notice.

NAP adapts openpilot — the open-source driver-assistance system developed and maintained by comma, which runs on comma's hardware platform (e.g., comma 3X, comma 4) — to the controller area network and electrical systems of pre-Autopilot Tesla Model S vehicles. The perception, planning, and driver-monitoring models that run while NAP is engaged are developed, trained, and maintained by comma as part of openpilot; the Project does not develop or train those models. Those models are machine-learned systems: their behavior is characterized through testing and observation rather than by inspection of source code, and it may vary in conditions that differ from those in which the models were trained or validated. The Project's work consists of the integration, configuration, and vehicle-specific control code required for openpilot to operate on pre-Autopilot Tesla Model S hardware.

NAP has not been certified, approved, homologated, endorsed, inspected, or validated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the U.S. Department of Transportation, the European Union, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), any state or provincial motor vehicle authority, any original equipment manufacturer, any insurer, or any other regulatory, governmental, or certifying body. NAP does not meet, and is not represented as meeting, any applicable safety standard, performance standard, or regulatory requirement.

You acknowledge that the operation of a motor vehicle is an inherently dangerous activity, and that the installation and use of experimental driver-assistance software materially increases that risk. You expressly and voluntarily assume all risks, known and unknown, associated with NAP, including without limitation the risk of death, personal injury, property damage, loss of Vehicle control, mechanical failure, electrical failure, software malfunction, unexpected behavior, sudden disengagement, delayed response, and any other consequence arising from or related to NAP or its use.

NAP is not a self-driving system. NAP does not replace, diminish, or modify your obligations when operating the Vehicle. At all times while NAP is installed, active, or running, you (the User) shall:

• Keep both hands on the steering wheel.
• Keep your eyes on the road.
• Remain alert, sober, unimpaired, and fully attentive to the operation of the Vehicle.
• Be prepared to take immediate manual control of the Vehicle at any time and without warning.
• Comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances in the jurisdiction in which the Vehicle is operated.
• Maintain the Vehicle in a mechanically sound, roadworthy condition.

NAP may behave unexpectedly, fail silently, disengage without warning, or produce incorrect outputs at any time. You are the sole and final safety authority for the Vehicle.

NAP is intended for evaluation on closed courses, private property, and other controlled non-public testing environments. Operation on public roads is not recommended and may be unlawful in your jurisdiction. You shall not use NAP:

• In any commercial service, including without limitation ride-sharing, delivery, livery, taxi, or fleet operations.
• In violation of any applicable law, regulation, or ordinance.
• To transport passengers who have not been made aware of, and have not accepted, the experimental nature of NAP.
• In any manner that endangers other road users, pedestrians, or property.

THIS LIMITATION SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Project, its maintainers, contributors, and affiliated individuals from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your use or misuse of NAP, (b) your violation of this notice, (c) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party, or (d) any operation of a Vehicle on which NAP is or has been installed.

The foregoing indemnification obligation shall not apply to the extent that any claim, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense is caused by the gross negligence, wantonness, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Project, its maintainers, or contributors. Nothing in this section shall be construed to require indemnification for conduct that may not lawfully be indemnified against under applicable law.
