FrogPilot v0.9.7 – November 1st, 2025 Update

Highlight Features

• FrogPilot Stat Tracking:
  For the past few months, I've been tracking user alerts, engagements, toggles, social security numbers, "Random Events" triggers, and a bunch of other fun data for my side project at stats.frogpilot.com. Starting today, you can see your own personal stats directly on your own device! Just head to FrogPilot → System Settings → DATA → FrogPilot Stats to relive all your glorious (and maybe not-so-glorious) moments behind the wheel. Want more stats added? Drop your ideas in #frogpilot-statistics!

• Weather Condition Offsets:
  As we roll into the colder months, it's time to drive smarter, not slipperier. The new "Weather Condition Offsets" feature, found under FrogPilot → Driving Controls → GAS / BRAKE → Quality of Life → Weather Condition Offsets, lets you automatically adjust how your car behaves in rain, snow, or fog. Decrease your acceleration and target speed in curves while increasing the desired following distance and stopped distances based on current weather conditions!

September 27th, 2025 Update

September 27th, 2025 Update for FrogPilot v0.9.7:

Highlight Features

• Curve Speed Controller Rework - Have a hard time dialing in "Curve Speed Controller"? Feel like it doesn't accelerate when exiting a curve soon/fast enough? Well, the new "Curve Speed Controller" fixes those issues and much more! For instance, instead of having to manually adjust it's aggressiveness, it automatically learns from your driving behavior! Check out #curve-speed-controller to learn more!

August 9th, 2025 Update

August 9th, 2025 Update for FrogPilot v0.9.7:

Highlight Features

• Speed Limit Filler V2 - The previous update introduced the #speed-limit-filler tool that automatically collected missing speed limits from "Open Street Maps" so you can easily fix them via "SpeedLimitFiller.frogpilot.download", and this update makes said tool a lot more faster, reliable, and overall more efficient! The most notable changes you'll find is it now collects incorrect speed limits if the speed limit on "Open Street Maps" doesn't match the speed limit from your dashboard or "MapBox", and it now automatically processes the collected speed limits after your drive! So as long as your device has a stable internet connection at some point this tool is now completely "set and forget"!

• The Pond - Last year @Aidenir created a "Fleet Manager" replacement dubbed "The Pond" and after a few personal touches added by yours truly it's finally here! You can access "The Pond" just like how "Fleet Manager" was accessed (YOUR.DEVICES.IP.HERE:8082) and quite frankly there's just too much to fit in a Discord message on how this improves things and what it has, so you'll have to check it out and see for yourself! There's a few updates to "The Pond" already in the works such as a "Theme Maker" panel so keep an eye out for future improvements! Feel free to provide any feedback you have in the #the-pond channel!

June 21st, 2025 Update

June 21st, 2025 Update for FrogPilot v0.9.7:

Highlight Features

• Speed Limit Controller Rework - This update includes a major overhaul of the "Speed Limit Controller" logic, along with numerous bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements. The most notable addition is the integration of "Mapbox" as a fallback speed limit source. If your dashboard or offline maps aren't providing speed limit data, and your device is connected to the internet with valid "Mapbox" keys configured, FrogPilot will automatically fetch the current speed limit from Mapbox so you'll always have a speed limit available! This feature can be toggled on via "FrogPilot → Driving Controls → GAS / BRAKE → Speed Limit Controller → Quality of Life → Use Mapbox as Fallback"

• Speed Limit Filler - Ever spot a missing speed limit and wish you could help fix it effortlessly? Well, now you can! With the "Speed Limit Filler" tool FrogPilot automatically logs speed limits from your dashboard, "Mapbox" and "Navigate-on-openpilot" as you drive. Once you're done driving, simply run the tool then submit verified missing limits! More information can be found in the #speed-limit-filler channel.

March 8th, 2025 Update

March 8th, 2025 Update for FrogPilot v0.9.7:

Highlight Features

• Lock Doors On Ignition Off for @Toyota-Lexus - Last year saw the addition of the "Automatically Lock/Unlock Doors" feature that automatically locks and unlocks the doors while shifting out and in of the "park" gear, this year takes that feature a step further and does it after you've left your car! Using the "driver monitoring" camera, this feature automatically locks the doors after the set amount of time once no one is detected in either of the front seats! And if you forget something in your car and reach in to grab it, as long as the cameras detect your face, the timer will reset to ensure it doesn't lock when it shouldn't!

Other Enhancements

• Added a model curvature offset when detecting "Adjacent Leads" for better tracking in curves
• Added a tweak to "Enable FrogsGoMoo's Personal Tweaks" for the @Toyota-Lexus tune that increases the time horizon for more responsive acceleration and smoother deceleration

• Drastically improved the recording quality while using the "Screen Recorder" and decreased the FPS impact while using said recorder
• Excluded more toggle values from "Toggle Backups" to ensure only unique backups are created
• Reverted all @general Motors vehicles to the old longitudinal API if they use "Redneck ACC" without a comma pedal
• The "Toggle Backup" backup names are now even more user friendly when managing them in the "DATA" panel
• Tweaked the filtering process for the "left" and "right" "adjacent leads" to include far adjacent leads instead of dedicated "far left" and "far right" "adjacent lead" metrics
• Tweaked the "tracking lead" logic to be less sensitive to leads when at a standstill
• Updated the colors and icons for the "St. Patrick's Day" "Holiday Theme"

• Cleaned up "FrogPilot" event timings to use dynamic conditions as opposed to hardcoded conditions

January 1st, 2025

January 1st, 2025 Update for FrogPilot v0.9.7:

Highlight Features

• "Conditional Experimental Mode" onroad UI redesign - In line with recent onroad widget updates, the "Conditional Experimental Mode" widget has also been given a fresh new coat of paint! Instead of a status bar at the bottom indicating why "Experimental Mode" is active, icons now represent the current trigger condition, and the widget border changes color accordingly (orange for active "Experimental Mode" and yellow when "Chill Mode" is enforced, aka "Conditional Experimental Mode" is overridden). This new widget can be enabled under "FrogPilot → Theme and Appearance → APPEARANCE → Developer UI → Developer Widgets → 'Conditional Experimental Mode' Status" if the "Developer" "Tuning Level" is active.

Other Enhancements

• Added the "Desired" metric to the lead marker when using the "Lead Info" → "Longitudinal Metric" to display the desired distance from the lead vehicle
• Added the option to manually select "CUPRA" vehicle fingerprints
• Redesigned the "Road Name" widget
• Removed the "Always On Lateral" status bar
• Removed the "Longitudinal Tunes" metrics from the top of the onroad UI and moved the "Acceleration" metric to the border
• Temporarily removed the "Compass" widget; it will return once the redesign is complete
• Tweaked the "Adjacent Lead" markers in the onroad UI for better differentiation between leads
• Tweaked the "Developer UI" toggle panel
• Tweaked the "Speed Limit Controller" toggle panel

• Cleaned up and optimized some of the onroad UI
• Cleaned up and optimized the "Vehicles" panel
• Optimized the map selection functions in the "OFFLINE MAPS" panel
• The "mapd" process has been moved to the "frogpilot_process" process

December 1st, 2024

December 1st, 2024 Update for FrogPilot v0.9.7:

Highlight Features

• "Curve Speed Control" onroad UI redesign - As a grown man who can still only draw stick figures, I admittedly aint so good with the UIs, but since FrogPilot drives fantastically now and is pretty damn feature packed, I decided to take another crack at making it somewhat visually appealing! For instance, instead of just changing the color of the box around the "MAX" speed for "Curve Speed Controller," there is now a dedicated widget! :PoggiesFast: When a curve is detected and openpilot begins to slow down, you'll see a left/right curve indicator to the right of the "MAX" speed with two speed values below it showing the calculated speeds from both methods. If the top box is larger and highlighted green, the "Map Based" method is active, if the bottom box is larger and highlighted red, the "Vision" based method is active. I’ll use this data to fine-tune the "Map Based" method, so please share any feedback in the #map-turn-speed-controller channel regarding curve detection and the speeds at which FrogPilot navigates curves!

• "Speed Limit Controller" onroad UI redesign - Similar to the "Curve Speed Controller" UI redesign, "Speed Limit Controller" got a very similar makeover! The "Confirm New Speed Limits" widget no longer displays as large red/green boxes that cover the entire screen. Instead, it now utilizes a new speed limit to the right of the active one with the title "Pending Limit" with the well, pending speed limit displayed in it. The method to accept/deny it still remains the same (click the "Resume"/"Cruise Increase" buttons on the steering wheel or the widget itself to confirm, or "Cruise Decrease" to deny) with the small tweak of increasing the auto deny timeout from 10 seconds to 30 seconds since the clickbox radius is a lot smaller. On top of that, a new toggle called "Show Speed Limit Sources" has been added that displays a widget below the speed limits showing all sources the "Speed Limit Controller" uses to determine the active speed limit and highlights the currently active limit. Use this feature to help populate "OpenStreetMaps" data in your area by identifying regions that display as "N/A" while driving!

Other Enhancements

• Added the "Rainbow Path" toggle to "Theme and Appearance -> THEME" thanks to @henryccy and @Joeslinky!
• Added the "To Be Continued" AEB random event
• Increased the base "Speed Aggressiveness" value for "Curve Speed Controller" to be more aggressive around curves
• Tweaked "Human-Like Approach Behind Leads" to be safer and smoother when approaching leads
• Tweaked the acceleration ramp off for "Human-Like Acceleration" to be more conservative
• Tweaked the "Screen Recorder" button to match the new UI style

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with acceleration behavior for the comma pedal on @Toyota-Lexus vehicles using the new longitudinal API

Code Base & Maintenance

• Added some of the Panda code for TSK support
• Cleaned up and optimized the automatic backup functions to prevent unnecessary backups, checks, copies, and leftover unused artifacts
• Improved how themes are updated and applied for quicker and more reliable theme changes
• "Offline Maps" has been renamed to "Map Data"

November 1st, 2024

November 1st, 2024 Update for FrogPilot v0.9.7:

Highlight Features

• Adjacent Lead Tracking - Earlier this year I took a stab at @twilsonco's feature for tracking leads in other lanes, but ultimately got caught up with 100 other things and it fell a bit to the wayside, but I took a crack at it again and successfully got it working! You can activate this while using the "Advanced" "Customization Level" under "Theme and Appearance -> APPEARANCE -> Developer Metrics -> Longitudinal Metrics -> Adjacent Leads". For now this is purely cosmetic, but soon we'll take advantage of all this new data!

• Toggle Panel Rework - Last month saw a complete revamp of the toggle panels, and this month comes with some refinements based off of both user feedback and some ideas I've been toying around with for awhile. Mainly is the introduction of "Customization Levels" which allows you to simplify the customization options and have FrogPilot automatically handle the hidden toggles for you! There's "Basic" which offers a more "stock-like" experience, "Advanced" for those who want complete control over their driving experience, and "Standard" which offers a balance between the two. Feel free to leave any feedback on the latest changes in the #user-interface-rework channel!

Other Enhancements

• Added more precise value control to the "Lane Change Delay" toggle
• Added the “auto” option for "Alert Volume Controller"
• Added the distance to the forced stop to the "Force Stop for 'Detected' Stop Lights/Signs" alert
• Added the "This Is Fine" steering saturated random event
• Cherry-picked over the "Remove steering wheel offset for planner slow down for curves" commit from the official repository (commaai#33849)
• "Model Manager V10" with support for the "Dissolved Oxygen" model
• Refined the "Prepare for Higher/Lower Speed Limits" algorithm to be more precise
• Removed all of the "tap on "x" widget to do "x"" features due to confusion from users misclicking on them
• Removed the camera's FPS from the "FPS Display" since it was a bit redundant and there's a stock alert to handle any potential camera frame rate issues
• Removed the road edge colors from custom themes to differentiate between road edges and lane lines easier
• The "Model Wants To Stop In "X" Seconds" condition for "Conditional Experimental Mode" now wont trigger when "Traffic Mode" is active to prevent unnecessary activations in stop and go traffic
• Tweaked "FrogsGoMoo's Personal Tweaks" to be closer to the stock "Toyota-Lexus" tune
• Tweaked the acceleration ramp-off when using "Human-Like Acceleration" to be more "human-like"
• Tweaked the adjacent path colors to be more representative of the detected lane's width
• Tweaked the "ECO" and "SPORT" "Deceleration Profiles" to be more aggressive and decelerate quicker

• Updated to the latest version of comma's "Toyota-Lexus" tune
• When "Curve Speed Control" is active, your selected "Deceleration Profile" will now be used instead of the stock profile

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that was preventing the "Increase Stopped Distance" function from properly working

• Fixed an issue where the vehicle wouldn't come to a complete stop when using the "Force Stop for 'Detected' Stop Lights/Signs" feature

Code Base & Maintenance

• Refactored how FrogPilot toggles are declared and updated to be more efficient, reliable, and much easier to maintain
• Optimized the asset management functions to create fewer requests to Github/Gitlab

October 1st, 2024 Update for FrogPilot v0.9.7:

Highlight Features

• Toggle Panel Rework - Every wondered why "Alert Volume Controller" was located in a panel called "Visuals"? Or what the heck "Lead Detection Threshold" was? Well, I checked the toggle list once, I checked it twice, and... probably about another 10 times cause that's what the "O" in "OCD" is for, and went in with the mentality of a "50 year old Accountant" to at least attempt to make sure everything made sense! For starters, all custom FrogPilot functions have been moved to the new "FrogPilot" panel (aside from a few small things like the "Automatically Update FrogPilot" toggle, that'll remain in the "Software" panel) and everything has been properly categorized! For instance, "Alert Volume Controller" is now located in the "Alerts and Sounds" panel and the "Lead Detection Threshold" has been renamed to "Lead Detection Confidence" with a MUCH more detailed description to make it clear what it does! I also added quite a handful new toggles to fine tune your driving experience even more so feel free to check it out today and leave any feedback you have in the #user-interface-rework channel!

Other Enhancements

• Added an "AOL" themed random event when enabling "Always On Lateral"
• Added more Longitudinal Tuning variables to "Customize Driving Personalities" to control the "Acceleration" and "Deceleration" behaviors separately
• Added the "Advanced Lateral Tuning" menu under "Advanced Settings -> Driving" to fine tune lateral control by adjusting the "Friction", "Lateral Acceleration", and "kP" variables
• Removed the "Cydia" and "FrogPilot" tunes in place of comma's new Toyota-Lexus tune which has so far received fantastic feedback!
• Set an increased timeout function when downloading updates, downloading models, downloading themes, or downloading maps to prevent the screen from timing out while those are in progress
• Split out the "tracking lead" variable to "tracking" and "following" to differentiate between actually following a lead, or just tracking it to determine if we are following a lead through curves or from a stop
• Tweaked the "Eco" "Acceleration Profile" to be a bit peppier at lower speeds but slower at higher speeds
• Tweaked the logic for "Increase Stopped Distance" to have a lower impact on the following distance at higher speeds

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that was causing a "CAN Error" for some Hyundai-Kia-Genesis vehicles
• Fixed an issue that was causing a "Controls Mismatch" error for the Nissan Leaf
• Fixed an issue that was causing a slight lag when opening the "Navigation" panel if the user had a large amount of maps downloaded
• Fixed an issue that was causing an "Out of Storage" error during the automatic backup process
• Fixed an issue that was causing some models to be falsely flagged as "out of date"
• Fixed some missing/misplaced downloadable maps

Code Base & Maintenance

• Added a "double check" function to the "Automatic Updates" function to catch last minute hotfixes
• Cleaned up the Sentry logging process to remove any unnecessary checks or payloads and to catch more potential issues
• Refined the toggle panel connections to ensure all necessary connections are made and any unnecessary connections are not made
• Optimized the toggle menus to be snappier and prevent any "UI shuffling" when going between menus
• Optimized the toggle widgets to be more responsive and only update the parameters when the user is done using said widget
• Reduced the time variable check to 15 minutes as opposed to every minute when the device is idle or the user is onroad
• Refactored the allowed max acceleration rate to be universally checked in "controlsd"
• Reorganized custom FrogPilot classes located in the "frogpilot" folder to clear up "frogpilot/controls/lib"

September 1st, 2024 Update for FrogPilot v0.9.7:

Highlight Features

• Custom Themes Rework - Previously, the non-frog themes were essentially the frog theme with different colors and icons. However, this rework makes each theme entirely unique with its own configuration, making it easier to add new themes with more diverse and creative designs. For example, the "Tesla" turn signals have been completely redesigned with a "static" animation featuring Tesla-inspired images as opposed to the lovely abomination they were before. Additionally, GIFs are now supported for the steering wheel icon, distance profiles, and sidebar icons, allowing for even greater customization! In an upcoming update, you'll also be able to create your own themes and submit them to the community if you choose!

• More Longitudinal Refinements - While fine-tuning the longitudinal controls, I made two significant changes. First, I renamed "Increase Acceleration Behind Lead" and "Smoother Braking" to "Human-Like Acceleration" and "Human-Like Following Distance" for greater clarity. Secondly, I added some additional logic to "Human-Like Acceleration" to, well, behave more "human-like". One of these adjustments introduces an offset that gradually reduces acceleration as the vehicle approaches its maximum speed, allowing it to "coast" rather than maintaining full throttle until the limit is reached. More updates and logic refinements for this feature are planned, so stay tuned!

Other Enhancements

• Added a random event that changes the home button icon to "The Blob"
• Added a steering wheel GIF for the goat scream random event
• Added additional checks for the maximum acceleration to ensure compliance with the "ISO 15622:2018" safety standard
• Added support for animated steering wheels to "Visuals -> Bonus Content -> Personalize openpilot -> Steering Wheel"
• Added support for "Holiday Themes" to feature their own themed steering wheels
• Added the "Clairvoyant Driver" model to "Model Management"
• Added the "Experimental GM Tune" in the "Vehicles" panel to help make coming to a stop smoother for certain GM vehicles
• Added the option to customize the startup message in "Visuals -> Bonus Content -> Personalize openpilot -> Startup Alert"
• Each "Random Event" now only triggers once per drive
• Forced the "Standard" acceleration profile when using "Traffic Mode" to help prevent rough stop and go behaviors
• Increased the speed of the "Sport+" acceleration profile at lower speeds
• Replaced the "Stop Lights and Stop Signs" toggle with "Model Wants To Stop In The Next" in "Conditional Experimental Mode" to use a dynamic variable based on personal preference
• Tweaked the "FrogPilot" Toyota/Lexus tune to accelerate faster and exit from a standstill sooner
• Updated to the latest version of the "SecretGoodOpenpilot" model

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that would allow multiple manual backups of the same name

Code Base & Maintenance

• Added branch automations to ensure their respective branches are consistently up-to-date
• Moved various FrogPilot based functions into their own dedicated files for easy maintainability
• The "FrogPilot" backups now have a compression ratio of 2.35 for drastically reduced storage usage
