The Comma 4 Is Here. Should You Get One?

Thinking about adding semi-autonomous driving to your EV? Both Nikki and Kate’s families have Comma systems—Kate has one in her 2019 Kia Niro, and Nikki’s wife has one in her 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV Premiere. So far, they’ve been smooth… except for Kate’s pesky broken USB port. At Comma Con 2025, the company unveiled the all-new Comma 4, a next-gen eGPU, and teased some exciting future updates. But here’s the question: is upgrading to a Comma 4 worth it? And what if you’re new to add-on self-driving tech? Nikki takes a spin in her wife’s Bolt EV to test things out and shares her thoughts—pros, cons, and everything in between. ---- ⏱️ Episode Timeline 00:00 - Introduction 01:45 - A quick reminder about Comma and our experience with the Comma AI system 02:33 - A side editorial note 03:13 - What Nikki uses in her Bolt EV 05:01 - Kate's Comma System 05:49 - Comma Con and Comma 4 06:41 - Comma 4 – What's new 11:42 - The software is the same… 12:24 - eGPUs 13:44 - From Dev Kit to Consumer Focus 16:29 - The Price 17:39 - The Code Base progression 18:41 - Should you get an upgrade or buy one? 21:36 - The need for research before buying 23:42 - Thanks and Goodbye! ---- 🔗 Links: Comma - introducing the comma four - https://blog.comma.ai/comma-four Comma Official Website - https://comma.ai/ Comma install/Dev guide: https://docs.comma.ai Frog Pilot: https://github.com/FrogAi/FrogPilot Watch our OTHER videos on Comma systems and our experiences with it -    • Comma AI   ---- 👥 Today’s Sponsors 🌱 Electric Vehicle Association - https://www.myeva.org ⚡ EnergySage - https://www.kqzyfj.com/click-10129094... — ✊ Get Involved 🗳️ https://indivisible.org/town-hall-res... ❤️ Support the Show 📰 https://www.transportevolved.com 🔥   / transportevolved   ☕ https://ko-fi.com/transportevolved 📺    / transportevolved   👕 https://www.redbubble.com/people/Tran... 🛍️ https://amzn.to/40xOyjm ₿ 1QRZRGCCXUKPDZ2DZ9KX9JYJXMZDYHYGFZ0MN4WH 💬 Join the Conversation 🐘 https://mastodon.transportevolved.com... 💬   / discord   🌀 https://bsky.app/profile/transportevo... 🔁 Subscribe to our 2nd channel -    / transportevolvedtake2   --- 🎙️ Credits: Host: Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield Camera, Edit, Color: Vi Horton Art & Animation: Erin Carlie Producer: Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield Music: via Artlist.io © Transport Evolved LLC, 2025
