H2: What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

H3: Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

H1: This is a Heading 1

This is some paragraph. lorem epsum.

This is a fig caption. This is how it will look like under a video frame as a description.

H4: How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

H5: Sample text is being used as a placeholder. Sample text helps you understand how real text may look. Sample text is being used as a placeholder for real text that is normally present.

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

I’m sure if you follow the self driving car space, you’ve heard about the two recent deaths in the news. The woman hit by the Uber in self driving mode and the man who drove into a guardrail in a Tesla on Autopilot. Like many other deaths caused by inattentive drivers, we believe both those deaths would have been prevented had the driver of the car been paying attention.

When you are behind the wheel of a car, you must always be paying attention! There is no software yet that is capable of driving better than a human. But one of the dangers as the software gets better is that this is not always apparent.

Currently, our data shows that openpilot makes multiple minor mistakes requiring correction per drive. As long as this is the case, no one will confuse the system with a superhuman driver. But as our software improves to the point that mistakes have hours between them, this might no longer be true.

We believe the solution to this is driver monitoring. GM has pioneered this with Super Cruise. And from Lex Fridman at MIT, here is an example of glance classification applied to the safety driver in the Uber crash. (looking forward to the open source release!)

Today, we are taking the first step toward our driver monitoring strategy. In openpilot 0.4.4, we’ve added a setting to record and upload the front camera. This setting is off by default, but if you choose to opt in, you’ll be rewarded with 0.5 extra comma points per minute, and you’ll be helping us to train our driver classification network. You’ll also be able to review the data later.

See the “Front Camera Record and Upload” option?

Remember, if you can’t see the camera, it can’t see you! When EON was designed, it was made to be flipped by switching the top and bottom piece with the supplied allen key. So flip your EON for 0.4.4, it looks better upside down anyway. If you still have a NEO, we are offering a trade-in.

In all our future hardware, we plan to have a camera for monitoring the driver. And in the period where the statistics show our software is good enough to be trusted, but not yet superhuman, monitoring will be mandatory.
