Participatinginstitutions can choose which collection or collections they would like to pledge for and pay a one-off fee per collection to support its transformation to open access. In return, they receive perpetual unlimited multi-user access for the titles of the collections they pledge for, irrespective of any funding thresholds being met for this pilot.

If the funding target is not met, the number of titles published in Open Access will be reduced accordingly. For example, if only 60% of the funding target to make all 10 titles Open Access in a collection is achieved, then 6 titles will be published OA instead.

The full title selection for each collection will be announced by the end of the pledging period (July 2024). We aim to gradually announce titles as and when each collection reaches the funding threshold Collection pricing (GBP) and HSS/STEM ratio quick link

openpilot is an open-source, semi-automated driving software by comma.ai, Inc. When paired with comma hardware, it replaces advanced driver-assistance systems in various cars, improving over the original system.[7][8] As of 2023, openpilot supports 250+ car models and has 6000+ users, accumulating over 90 million miles (140,000,000 km).[8][9][10][11]

openpilot runs on comma 2/3/X hardware, also developed by comma.ai. Packaged as an aftermarket retrofit, it allows users to enhance their existing cars with upgraded computing power, enhanced vision, and regularly updated software. openpilot has been cited to offer a "natural" and human-like driving experience,[8] and reviewed favorably for its ease of use and driver engagement.[7] As of May 2024, openpilot holds the record for the shortest time in a semi-autonomous, coast-to-coast drive across the U.S.[12][13]

comma.ai Inc was founded in September 2015 by George Hotz.[14] The first version of openpilot was revealed a few months later in a Bloomberg article, showing functionality on a 2016 Acura ILX.[15] The video and article instigated a cease and desist letter from the California Department of Motor Vehicles, claiming comma.ai was testing a self-driving car without a license.

openpilot was packaged into a small, shippable device called the "comma one", announced at TechCrunch Disrupt.[16] On October 27, 2016, NHTSA issued a Special Order to comma.ai demanding detailed information about the comma one, to determine if the device complies with legally required Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.[17] comma.ai responded in a tweet from Shenzhen, China, announcing the cancellation of the comma one.[18]

On January 7, 2020, comma.ai introduced the $999 "comma two" device at CES in Las Vegas.[21][22][23] In November 2020, Consumer Reports ranked openpilot above all other advanced driver-assistance systems on the market, including Tesla's Autopilot, Cadillac's Super Cruise and Ford's Co-pilot 360. In particular, openpilot's performance in the areas of driver engagement and ease of use scored better than all other systems evaluated by Consumer Reports.[7]

At comma's 2021 comma_con convention, the company released the "comma three devkit".[24] This model uses two fish eye cameras oriented to the front and a long distance camera oriented to the rear to analyze the car's surroundings.[25]

In January 2023, The Verge found openpilot-based driving-assist technology to be better than that from legacy car manufacturers, delivering more "natural" and human-like driving experience. Nearly 5000 units of openpilot-supported Comma 3 devices were already said to be distributed.[8]

At comma's 2023 COMMA_CON convention, the "comma 3X" was announced as a successor to the comma three devkit at a lower price of $1249.[26] In 2023, the total distance driven by openpilot's 6000+ users was said to have exceeded 90 million miles,[10][11] an improvement over the 25 million miles figure reported in 2020.[27]

In April 2024, a new semi-autonomous Cannonball run record, involving a drive across the United States from the East Coast to the West Coast, was set using a 2017 Toyota Prius equipped with a comma 3X unit running openpilot. The drive took 43 hours and 18 minutes at 98.4% autonomy, beating the previous record set in a Tesla Model S (97.7% autonomy) by nearly 12 hours.[12][13][28]

In contrast to traditional autonomous driving solutions where the perception, prediction, and planning units are separate "modules", openpilot adopts a system-level end-to-end design to predict the car's trajectory directly from the camera images. openpilot's end-to-end design is a neural network that is trained by comma.ai using real-world driving data uploaded by openpilot users.[29]

openpilot uses machine learning, trained with real-world driving data, to determine the safest path on the road. This improves perception on roads without lane markings vs. lane-centering by tracking current lane lines.

openpilot maintains a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead. It is capable of driving in stop-and-go traffic with no user intervention. It uses OpenStreetMap's road curvature and speed limit data to allow slowing on sharp turns and setting the vehicle's desired speed to the current speed limit on certain community-maintained forks of the main repository.

openpilot uses the model to change lanes when the user engages the turn signal: a nudge is optional on the steering wheel to confirm the lane change. openpilot also interacts with the blind spot monitor on certain makes and models to block the lane change in the event a car is detected by the blind spot monitor.

At launch, openpilot supported the Honda Civic and the Acura ILX. Support for more vehicles and brands has been added through open-source contribution.[31] As of November 2023, the list of officially supported vehicles contains more than 250 entries,[9] and can be viewed at

comma.ai maintains the openpilot codebase and releases, and there is a growing community that maintains various forks of openpilot. These forks consist of experimental features such as stop light detection.

BioOne will work with its publishing community throughout 2024 to encourage participation in the pilot, enabling a rollout to the library market in 2025 for a 2026 volume year launch. The pilot offering will focus on those titles that are exclusively available to researchers via the aggregation BioOne Complete, representing societies, museums, research organizations, and independent presses across 15 countries. BioOne Complete will remain a mixed-model collection of subscribed, S2O, and gold OA titles.

The switch to open access (OA) is a result of our institutional subscribers renewing their subscriptions and supporting the S2O pilot program. With sufficient support, new volumes are converted to OA under a Creative Commons license for everyone to read and re-use.

There is evidence that reactive oxygen species play a causal role in auto-immune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Despite the supporting evidence for a beneficial effect of antioxidants on clinical characteristics of RA, the right balance for optimal effectiveness of antioxidants is largely unknown. To determine the potential beneficial effects of an antioxidant intervention on clinical parameters for RA, an open pilot study was designed. Eight non-smoking female patients with rheumatoid factor + RA and a Disease Activity Score (DAS 28) higher than 2.5 were enrolled in the study. Patients had to be receiving stable non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug treatment and/or 'second line' medication for at least 3 months. The pilot group consumed 20 g of antioxidant-enriched spread daily during a period of 10 weeks. The intervention was stopped after 10 weeks and was followed by a 'wash-out' period of 4 weeks. At t = 0, t = 10 weeks and t = 14 weeks, patients' condition was assessed by means of DAS. In addition, standard laboratory analyses were performed, and blood-samples for antioxidants were taken. The antioxidant-enriched spread was well tolerated. All laboratory measures of inflammatory activity and oxidative modification were generally unchanged. However, the number of swollen and painful joints were significantly decreased and general health significantly increased, as reflected by a significantly improved (1.6) DAS at t = 10 weeks. The antioxidant effect was considered beneficial as, compared to the scores at t = 0, the DAS significantly reduced at t = 10 weeks. Increase of the DAS (0.7) after the "wash-out period" at t = 14 confirmed a causal relation between changes in clinical condition and antioxidants. This open pilot study aimed to assess the clinical relevance of an antioxidant intervention as a first step in assessing potential beneficial effects of antioxidants on rheumatoid arthritis. These conclusions need to be validated in a larger controlled study population.
