Top voted comment on hacker news btw.
Ok that was probably unnecessarily snarky I hope you don't take offense, but it seems the hacker spirit has been fading more often from this site, we used to replace stuff with inferior versions just to see if we could.
Speaking of hacker spirit... Comma has a lot of restrictions on what software you can load / what changes you can make to the software.
No it doesn't?
You can run stock, or any fork simply by providing the URL of the version you want to run.
Where exactly is the restriction?
https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/master/docs/SAFETY... - they will ban your device from the training set if you run an unsafe fork.

What? It's literally open source, you can ssh into the thing and change whatever you want. I am running a fork of a fork of the code right now. I change things all the time.
Unfortunately, a quick google seems to say no one's ported Doom to the Comma hardware just yet!
If geohot is involved, it wouldn't suprise me if it was the first proof of concept for each new hardware variant.
