I'd love to know what the definition of "publicly available" is, because I'm guessing there's quite a bit of violation of ToS here (regardless of if you believe the info should be scrapeable or not)

I love my Comma 3X. You just need to have the right expectations. I honestly think their motto of "making driving chill" is a really apt description. I use it in traffic and on the interstate almost all the time, and then on more suburban drives in that 30-40mph range, which is where my Ioniq's HDA doesn't activate. Also IIRC the Ioniq's HDA is map based so very frequently in the city it would just straight up deactivate without any warning due to construction I'm guessing messing with maps. The lateral steering is so much better than the stock LKAS on my car which is jerky and probably scares the living shit out of other drivers. HDA2 is probably a 4/10, Comma is probably an 8/10 in terms of just general driver experience. I've done multiple long (150mi+) drives where I don't touch the wheel for nearly 95% of the trip.
The one thing I worry about though is that they really were promising a lot with the new MLSIM training architecture, and consensus (and my own anecdotal experience) is that these newer models have not been great. They've been working on MLSIM for a whiiiiiile now and there really hasn't been any improvement, though I fully endorse why they are going that way and I understand the difficulty of the problem.

I have a set of the Pro 2s. The noise cancellation and adaptive listening is really great, but the damn things will not stay in my ears no matter what tip I use or how I orient the things in my ear.
Talking, chewing gum, and even just leaning my head back is enough to make the things fall out.
I really wanted to like these things as I have terrible hearing, and the assistive hearing on these is already pretty nice, but they don't do me any good if they won't stay in my ears.
I haven't had this issue with any other earbud I've ever owned.
Do yourself a favor and try a pair out first before you buy, if you can.
EDIT: I am very open to specific recommendations on 3rd-party eartips for these things.
With you on this one. The Pro's just never fit my ears. I tried all sorts of tips. Foam, silicon, even the ones that fit "into" the ear curve fail and leads to a really inconsistent experience.
The regular AirPods work well ENOUGH for me that when I walk I don't need anything to keep them in, but running would be an absolute no go. And I feel like they never actually "stay put" in the ear even when walking. I always have to push them in again.
Will try these new ones, but most likely will fall back to my usual AirPods.

Same, I love mine, I really wanted what basic autopilot gives in a Tesla in my Highlander and it does that incredibly well.
I also really love mine. It has done what it has advertised extremely well, in my opinion. Makes driving chill. I have a '24 Ioniq with HDA2 and it's a night and day difference between Comma's implementation of HDA/LKAS and stock. If the stock version is like a 3/10, OpenPilot is like a 8 or 9/10. Stock HDA would just turn off randomly in the middle of turns. Its LKAS was very jerky which not only scares you, but scares other people on the road as well.
