Comma's main advantage over Tesla's Autopilot was, as I understand it, the use of cameras to collect video data. Hotz presented that as the advantage at TechCrunch Disrupt, at least, saying that he could beat Tesla's Autopilot because he had full video data from a small smartphone app that he had test users running as they drove while Tesla's vehicles had no video input.
I wonder if his choice to cancel Comma is related to Tesla's recent announcement that all new Tesla vehicles would ship with a full video camera outfit.
