So what exactly is the Full Self-Driving Computer assist, if it's not full self-driving?

It's a computer that Tesla believes is powerful enough to be able to run full self driving software if and when they create it (based on nothing of course)

I bet right now they're working on the next full self driving computer with even more compute power, trying to figure out how to avoid being forced to upgrade all cars in the field with it...

More compute just makes all problems easier, and when trying to solve a hard problem like self driving, being compute restrained at the same time just makes things harder.

So now I have to pay a monthly fee for already built in hardware?

Some people like to pay for promises. It generates data their egos can point to and say, "Because I paid, it must've been worth it!"

I think it’s like Lionel Hutz from the Simpsons…

Works on contingency? No, money down!
