Driving Models

Models are machine learning made models that openpilot uses to control your car. They aren't perfect and sometimes there's hardcoded-logic to workaround issues in them in the codebase.

Models are given nicknames.

List assembled by @FrogAi and other contributors from various comma and community comments. Source post on Frogpilot discord.
