I want a nuTonomy Upgrade! Maybe someone at nuTonomy would be willing to share what learned about hacking the i-miev?
The comma.ai open source self driving effort seems a good fit to the i-MiEV with electronic power steering and throttle, but the power brakes are not helpful. With such a long battery life, it's good to future proof it.
