+[`examples/`](examples/) contains small example programs that can read state from the car and control the steering, gas, and brakes.
+[`examples/joystick.py`](examples/joystick.py) allows you to control a car with a joystick.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+This project was pulled out from [openpilot](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot).
+We're still figuring out the exact API between openpilot and opendbc, so some of these
+may end up going in openpilot.
+
+* Extend support to every car with LKAS + ACC interfaces
+* Automatic lateral and longitudinal control/tuning evaluation
+* Auto-tuning for [lateral](https://blog.comma.ai/090release/#torqued-an-auto-tuner-for-lateral-control) and longitudinal control
+* [Automatic Emergency Braking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_emergency_braking_system)
+* `pip install opendbc`
+* 100% type coverage
+* 100% line coverage
+* Make car ports easier: refactors, tools, tests, and docs
+* Expose the state of all supported cars better: https://github.com/commaai/opendbc/issues/1144
