What is available and what is still being built
The current private driving experience, with clear boundaries for Community, AI and sensors.
Available in the current experience
Approved Real accounts use Home, Sessions, Progress and Karts, with Quick Kart and the floating Coach. Profile, Connections and Privacy live in native full-page Settings. Supported private changes save to the account; an empty history remains empty until real results arrive.
Invited Demo accounts use the same K1-focused pages with a private fictional Nashville scenario. Forwarding, prepared coaching and adult Community are explicitly simulated. Notes, goals and supported choices save privately; synthetic results are never evidence of the tester’s real driving. Live imports, uploads, paid AI, Community export, Garage and sensors are unavailable in this focused Demo. Existing testers keep their current scenario until an explicit owner reset.
Community adult friends pilot
Community is an optional adult friends pilot for approved Real accounts aged 18 or older. Availability appears in the app. Joining never happens automatically and does not enable statistics sharing.
Connect through private codes and mutual acceptance, compare selected recorded summaries at matching venues, and give preset kudos. There are no free-text posts, direct messages or other written communications. There is no searchable directory. Read the adult pilot guide for separate sharing choices, personal milestone criteria, revocation and Community data export. Teen accounts keep their private racing features.
Feedback for selected testers
The owner can enable Feedback for individual Demo or Real testers when inviting them or later in Accounts. Feedback is private, optional and separate from Community. Reports remain available to the owner through Demo reset or conversion. Read the feedback guide for context, image review, retention and recovery.
AI is limited, not automatic
Model-backed explanations require explicit eligibility and a visible request action. Generated output is labeled AI-generated. Calculated guidance and fictional examples remain distinct. Pricing and general AI availability have not been announced here.
Advanced and internal tools
Sensor Lab, Race Fusion and the native iPhone/Watch companion have separate research, account and build boundaries. The native companion is not a public release. A sensor source can be retained while remaining rejected, ambiguous or unsuitable for analysis.
The deeper guides and earlier interface reference remain available below and in the Help menu. They preserve context without making those workflows part of the simple K1 setup journey.
Driver OS is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by K1 Speed, Sensor Logger, Apple, Google, or the venues and timing providers represented in imported data.

The Real driving notebook
The /driver notebook provides Home, Sessions, Progress and Karts with a floating deterministic Coach and Quick Kart. It reads owned evidence and saves supported private notes, plans, goals and preferences. Existing onboarding eligibility still applies; the home-venue path does not require a city.
Community is visible in the main menu and marked Coming soon. The authorized site owner has a separate Owner entry for the existing protected admin controls. Public venue and leaderboard references are dated snapshots. Lap replay is illustrative motion derived from durations. Model-backed AI, imports, native tools and broader features remain in More tools, with the boundaries below unchanged. Demo accounts retain their separate fictional experience.
Available in early access
Approved accounts can use the private journal, supported result imports, Sessions, Progress, Garage, Tracks, Quick Kart, Discover and deterministic Coach foundations.
Still being tested
- Sensor Lab and Race Fusion are source-neutral, read-only research surfaces and do not overwrite official results. Rejected and ambiguous sources remain visible but non-analytical.
- The native iPhone and Watch companion remains internal-only. The checked-in native cloud flags are false; only the explicitly signed Owner Internal archive may override private cloud delivery, while accepted-slice sync remains off. This is not a public native release.
- Expanded internal recordings can be inspected in Recording information. Expanded private cloud delivery requires a separate native-build and account enablement for new recordings or explicitly authorized older full sources; it defaults off and retains the full iPhone source. Analytical promotion and Health access remain off. Per-race setup remembers phone/Watch defaults. Updated captures distinguish the shared race stop from acquisition end and report phone non-contribution when known. Original recordings remain unchanged. Physical battery, long-duration continuity and transfer performance are still being tested.
- Sensor-derived scores and automatic conclusions are not treated as settled product behavior.
- Model-backed AI is limited to explicitly entitled accounts and runs only after a visible request.
- Some provider connections remain unavailable until a dependable, authorized path exists.
