  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

    Self-driving integration with Open Pilot.

    My original post was really about my thoughts on the future and how OEMs specifically Scott motors should consider talking to a third party vendor to save time, money and have faster integration on driver assist or full self driving, whatever people want to call it. The thread seems to have...

    Like I responded to someone else. I try not to let my emotion get involved at all that would be very ugly. Ha ha so I come off pretty dry,, intense straightforward. I understand. A joint would be bad it would let the emotion take over. And then it would just be all nonsense. Ha ha ha ha I think...

    Unfortunately they do these things everyday. People are dying everyday because of bad manufacturing and bad engineering. They just usually aren't held accountable. Boeing is a perfect example of that at the moment. There are many lawsuits right now against Ford for bad design that have caused...

    So this would be an argument for people not to drive and for full self-driving to have total control over every vehicle. And this is actually the argument people make for that. I'm not for all that. Just yet anyway maybe that might change I don't know. Ha ha when I was younger I said there's no...

    Self-driving integration with Open Pilot.

    I've been told before that I have no empathy, am abrasive or am like a stone. It's just my personality and how I communicate I guess. My intent is just discussion with facts and opinions based on facts. I try to keep emotion completely out of it. Maybe that's why it seems so "abrasive"? So, I am...

    Self-driving integration with Open Pilot.

    You're right, it wouldn't be a very good system if it didn't. Shouldn't be a problem with today's technology. I think the only restrictions are as good as the humans developing it these days. If they are good the system will be good. If they thought about these things and the programming is...

    Self-driving integration with Open Pilot.

    Well things that has cameras 360° and it can watch those all simultaneously it's much better than human in that sense. I don't know why people keep comparing these systems with a human brain. It doesn't have to sense everything a human brain is sensing and control all of the things that human...

    Self-driving integration with Open Pilot.

    Never is a very definitive statement. Not really sure what you mean by your analogy with your phone use. It doesn't make any sense. That's not how self-driving technology works. And your phone if you have the latest and greatest is probably way more powerful than the current systems in vehicles...

    Full self driving in Tesla's exist now. Just talked to my buddy who has a Tesla the other day full self-driving. He said it's absolutely functional has been. People just aren't aware.

    Self-driving integration with Open Pilot.

    Google Maps, Android auto, Apple carplay, and just about every app on a phone is third party. Some are open source. And we use them everyday. Well most poeple. And I guarantee you if you get into a wreck using assisted driving or full self driving. Scout's not going to be held responsible for...

    Self-driving integration with Open Pilot.

    No I read your post about Rivian and how they're doing self-driving. I watched the video that you posted. Which is how everyone else is doing self-driving. And when I say self-driving, I mean all drivers Assistance programs including full self-driving. And they are still behind compared to other...

    Self-driving integration with Open Pilot.

    You take your eyes off the road all the time when you're driving. You should be scanning. The side of the roads behind you, your gauges. You're constantly looking around. You may just not realize it. Adaptive cruise with driver's assist allows you to take your hands off the steering wheel and...

    Self-driving integration with Open Pilot.

    It's definitely interesting. I still think that they should be open to using a third party. Especially something that's being developed constantly. They can have their own engineering teams approve things and test things if they want to. I met a guy that has a Tesla, Rivian and a VW ID4. He also...
