can anyone comment on the current state of Tesla Autosteer/Autopilot (NOT FSD) vs OpenPilot?

edit: thanks all. i just purchased a comma4 and plan to run sunnypilot. looking forward to playing with it!

tldr; thoughts on current Tesla Autosteer vs OpenPilot for simple lane-keep self driving?

Hey all. I have a HW3 M3 and refuse to pay $100/mo for FSD. Not only has the pricing always been absurd, I simply don't want an ADAS that does lane changes, passes etc. I just want the damn car to stay in the lane and go the speed limit, but Tesla refuses to add this option to FSD. And just about every time I have enabled the free Autosteer, it nearly crashes my car. It can't even handle stop-and-go traffic and routinely full-force slams on the brakes when going 5mph despite FSD handling these same situations perfectly well (showing that it's not a camera issue, but a software issue). Tesla also refuses to update Autosteer to just use FSD's neural net but without navigation, which many thought they would do given how dangerous Autosteer is, plus from a sales standpoint it would give potential customers a taste of how great FSD is. Well they instead opted to simply remove Autosteer from new cars entirely, which for a $40k car is hilarious.

Anyways, Autosteer sucks and is simply unusable imo, so I'm wondering if anyone here has directly compared Autosteer to current OpenPilot software/hardware? Everything I can find online compares it to FSD, and I simply don't care about that since I refuse to pay for a lifetime subscription to software that doesn't even offer the features that I want. Also, closed-source software with in-cabin camera that has been proven to send data back to Tesla despite their TOS stating nothing leaves the car. Gross.
