Open source we learned from

The Sealion 7 and ATTO 3 launchers were built with help from the public research below. No code was taken — the implementation is written from scratch. What these taught us is what the head-unit software calls things and in what order. Without them this would have taken weeks longer.

  • turnsignal-cameraview sunlixWhyNotAvailable AGPL-3.0 How the car's camera is opened, and how a helper is started with shell privileges.
