Features

A breakdown of FrogPilot's major additions over stock openpilot.

Always On Lateral (AOL)

Lane-centering stays active even when you press the brake or gas pedal, so steering assist continues through curves and traffic without disengaging.

Conditional Experimental Mode (CEM)

Automatically switches between Chill Mode on stable highway segments and Experimental Mode for complex conditions — curves, slower leads, stop signs, traffic lights — removing the need for manual toggles.

Driving Personalities

Four profiles — Traffic, Aggressive, Standard, and Relaxed. Switch instantly with the steering wheel distance button; hold it to activate Traffic Mode.

Speed Limit Controller (SLC)

Combines OpenStreetMap data with Mapbox fallback and the vehicle's own dashboard speed limit. Set per-range offsets and keep maps auto-updated. Community crowdsource tool available at SpeedLimitFiller.frogpilot.download.

Speed Limit Filler

Curve Speed Controller

Self-learning system that improves from your driving style. An on-road widget shows upcoming curve direction and recommended speed in real time.

NNFF (Neural Network Feedforward)

Per-vehicle neural network model that delivers smoother, more accurate steering by learning the specific dynamics of your car.

Adjacent Lead Tracking

Monitors vehicles in neighboring lanes so the system can anticipate cut-ins and merges before they cross into your path.

Weather Condition Offsets

Detects rain, snow, and fog, then automatically increases following distance and reduces speed targets to match conditions.

Themes & Customization

Color schemes, icon packs, sound packs, turn signal GIFs, steering wheel icons, holiday themes, random events, and the signature Rainbow Path.

Theme Maker

Create fully custom themes through The Pond web interface at device_ip:8082 — upload icons, choose colors, and share with the community.

The Pond (Web Interface)

Replaces the old Fleet Manager. Access at device_ip:8082 for Theme Maker, drive logs, device management, and more — all from your browser on the local network.

Driving Model Selector

Choose from multiple AI driving models including Firehose (current default). New models can be downloaded without updating FrogPilot itself.

Automatic Version Backups

Keeps 3 automatic version backups and 5 toggle backups so you can roll back quickly if an update introduces issues.

ZSS / SDSU / comma Pedal

Full support for ZSS (Zoom Steering Sensor), SDSU (Smart DSU), and comma Pedal — extending FrogPilot to cars that need extra hardware for ACC or lateral control.
