Opendbc
OpenDBC is a CAN bus interface library and telemetry parser designed to read and write messages to a vehicle network. It functions as an automotive hardware abstraction layer that maps generic control signals to model-specific bus IDs across different vehicle brands, while acting as a control system that converts high-level steering and acceleration requests into raw binary packets for vehicle actuators.
The project includes a vehicle network safety gateway that restricts or blocks specific control messages based on the system state to prevent unsafe maneuvers. It provides a standardized way to interface with vehicle systems, allowing for the implementation of lateral and longitudinal control and radar parsing to support new car models.
The software covers vehicle telemetry monitoring by decoding raw binary frames into human-readable sensor data and state information. It also manages the serialization of actuator commands and the analysis of vehicle maneuver performance across various hardware platforms.
