Answers cover reviewed versions. Open details for devices, car requirements and version limits.

Keep steering while you control speed

Separates steering assistance from speed control, so you can manage the accelerator and brake. Engagement and pedal settings vary by fork and car.

Yes
FrogPilotStarPilot
Pedal and button details
Devices, versions and details

Useful when you want help staying in the lane without handing over every speed decision.

Example: you control speed through a construction zone while the software continues helping with steering.

Choose your driving profile or following distance

Driving profiles such as Relaxed, Standard or Aggressive change following and speed-control behavior. Some versions offer direct distance controls instead. Names and options vary.

Yes
FrogPilotStarPilot
Devices, versions and details

The same following distance can feel too relaxed to one driver and too busy to another.

Example: choose a calmer response for traffic or a more responsive one on an open highway.

Slow down for curves

Adds controls that can lower the assisted speed when the road bends.

Yes
FrogPilotStarPilot
Devices, versions and details

A set cruise speed can feel too fast when a sharp curve arrives.

Example: the target speed drops before a freeway ramp instead of waiting for you to brake.

Use posted speed limits

Adds controls that can show, warn about, or respond to a detected speed limit.

Yes
FrogPilotStarPilot
Devices, versions and details

It can reduce the need to keep changing the set speed as limits change.

Example: the display warns you when a road changes from 55 to 45 miles per hour.

Switch driving style automatically

Switches between standard and Experimental speed control using project-specific conditions. Requires software control of speed on a supported car.

Yes
FrogPilotStarPilot
Devices, versions and details

Reduces manual mode changes; each fork uses different triggers and settings.

Example: switch modes when the configured speed or predicted slowdown conditions are met.

Choose how lane changes begin

Adds controls for when a signaled lane change starts and how much confirmation it needs.

Yes
FrogPilotStarPilot
Devices, versions and details

Drivers differ on whether they want a steering nudge, a short delay, or more automatic behavior.

Example: signal, check that the lane is clear, and let the configured lane-change action begin.

Stay closer to the lane center

Adds a small steering correction toward the detected center of the lane when the lane lines are clear.

Yes
StarPilot
Unverified
FrogPilot
Devices, versions and details

It can give the car a more centered feel without replacing the driving model's planned path.

Example: the car adds a gentle correction when its planned path drifts from the center of clear lane lines.

Choose the driving model

Adds controls for selecting or downloading the model that plans the driving path.

Yes
FrogPilotStarPilot
Devices, versions and details

Different project-provided models can feel different, but a different model is not a promise of safer or self-driving behavior.

Example: try another project-provided model, then return to the previous one if you prefer its behavior.

Add maps and road context

Adds controls for downloaded map regions, road names, or an on-screen map view.

Yes
FrogPilotStarPilot
Devices, versions and details

Road context can make the display more useful and can support some project-specific driving helpers.

Example: download a region before a trip or show the current road name while driving.

Help with turns and exits

Adds route guidance that can tell the driving model about an upcoming turn or lower speed before a sharp maneuver.

Yes
StarPilot
Unverified
FrogPilot
Devices, versions and details

Route-aware controls can help prepare for a selected turn or exit; a turn-signal control alone is different.

Example: the selected route asks the model to prepare for an exit while you stay alert and ready to steer.

Customize the driving screen

Adds controls for colors, icons, layouts, or extra driving information on the screen.

Yes
FrogPilotStarPilot
Devices, versions and details

Some drivers want a clean stock-like display; others want more status and customization.

Example: hide visual clutter or show extra lead-car, lane, and pedal information.

Save recordings and trip history

Adds controls for screen recordings, trip totals, or reviewing saved driving information.

Yes
FrogPilotStarPilot
Devices, versions and details

Review a past drive or saved screen capture; available history and storage depend on the project and service.

Example: save the driving screen during a trip or review recent distance totals while parked.

Reduce routine chimes

Reduces selected routine sounds. Which warnings remain audible depends on the fork and its settings.

Unverified
FrogPilotStarPilot
Devices, versions and details

Useful for reducing repeated chimes; check the exact alert policy before choosing a setting.

Example: quiet engagement chimes while retaining the warning sounds specified by that implementation.

Back up or recover settings

Adds controls for saving settings, restoring them, or recovering the software after a problem.

Yes
FrogPilotStarPilot
Devices, versions and details

A backup can save setup time; restoration may require the original device, keys, or compatible software version.

Example: restore your preferred settings after reinstalling a fork.

Manage settings from a phone or browser

Adds a project-provided way to manage eligible settings, backups, or device information from another screen.

Yes
FrogPilotStarPilot
Devices, versions and details

It can be easier than changing many options directly on the comma device.

Example: review or restore eligible settings from a phone while the car is parked.

Adjust individual alert volumes

Changes the volume of selected alert types separately. Available alerts and minimum levels differ by fork.

Yes
FrogPilotStarPilot
Devices, versions and details

You may want quieter engagement chimes without using the same volume for every alert.

Example: adjust an engagement chime separately from a warning volume.

Choose the driving mode yourself

Switch manually between standard speed control and Experimental or end-to-end planning. Exact modes and car requirements depend on the fork and version.

Yes
FrogPilotStarPilot
Devices, versions and details

Manual selection is different from automatically switching modes as conditions change.

Example: select a driving mode yourself instead of enabling an automatic mode-switching rule.

Manage software updates

Provides controls for downloading updates or selecting a software branch. Branch availability and maturity differ by project.

Yes
FrogPilotStarPilot
Devices, versions and details

You can see which update path you are choosing before changing the installed software.

Example: check for an update while parked and review the selected branch before installing it.

Choose driving sounds

Changes the sound pack or engagement chimes where the fork and vehicle support it.

Yes
FrogPilot
Unverified
StarPilot
Devices, versions and details

Choosing a sound is different from changing its volume or suppressing an alert.

Example: choose another engagement sound pack; some vehicle-specific settings require a restart.

Capture parked motion events

Captures images after the parked device detects sustained motion. It needs power, working sensors and cameras, and the feature enabled.

Yes
StarPilot
Unverified
FrogPilot
Devices, versions and details

You can review a detected bump or movement through the project’s event interface.

Example: sustained movement of the parked device triggers images that you later review in Galaxy.
