Cool stuff.

As far as I know, the full self driving codebase doesn’t get delivered to an end-user unless they’ve paid for the feature and have been “approved” through some safe driving algorithm. This means we’re unlikely to see free FSD for all unless somebody manages to capture the firmware package and upload it.

Can we stop call it FSD, it's not. It's just assisted driving, and if I have to be monitoring the entire time, it's no more useful than cruise control.
