Full Release Notes

Check out our [release blog post](https://blog.comma.ai/090release/) for more details!

* New driving model
  * Internal feature space information content increased tenfold during training to ~700 bits, which makes the model dramatically more accurate
  * Less reliance on previous frames makes model more reactive and snappy
  * Trained in new reprojective simulator
  * Trained in 36 hours from scratch, compared to one week for previous releases
  * Training now simulates both lateral and longitudinal behavior, which allows openpilot to slow down for turns, stop at traffic lights, and more in experimental mode
* Experimental driving mode
  * End-to-end longitudinal control
  * Stops for traffic lights and stop signs
  * Slows down for turns
  * openpilot defaults to chill mode, enable experimental mode in settings
* Driver monitoring updates
  * New bigger model with added end-to-end distracted trigger
  * Reduced false positives during driver calibration
* Self-tuning torque controller: learns parameters live for each car
* Torque controller used on all Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis models
* UI updates
  * Matched speeds shown on car's dash
  * Multi-language in navigation
