#2Quite interesting that while this is happening,
> Tesla's with new hardware will temporarily lack certain features currently available on Teslas with first-generation Autopilot hardware
Which makes sense, as they'll be pulling in all that new data from the sensors. I guess people won't be too disappointed owning a car that will eventually be able to be fully autonomous!

#3How sure are they that this hardware revision is going to be what is required? I feel like at any point in time you can make an assumption about the hardware requirements to only discover in future that you could have actually done it with just a software update if the CPU had one more core. They'd have to be pretty sure this HW rev would meet their future demands for self-driving right ?

#4Teslas with new hardware will temporarily lack certain features currently available on Teslas with first-generation Autopilot hardware, including some standard safety features such as automatic emergency breaking, collision warning, lane holding and active cruise control
Right, so they are actually announcing that their new cars now have less automation capabilities. I can't keep track with all the "autopilot" hardware they have deployed to date, MobilEye, BOSCH Radar, own software hacks, then this completely new one..
Not to mention that they have sold thousands of cars with the same Autopilot brand and "fully autonomous soon" messaging that will now likely never get there.

But not software and they don't even have confidence in their current implementation?
It's not surprising considering the recent announcements by the regulators, but that's quite a step.

#6So self-driving will be a standard feature of Model 3, not an option? Pretty cool if they can make it work. I'm skeptical that the computer (NVIDIA Drive PX 2 perhaps?) will have enough power to do it all without LIDAR.

Not sure what to make of this. New buyers are getting less than current owners now, but expected to get much more later?
I can't think of a precedent for this as a marketing approach in modern consumer products.

This means they don't have confidence in running the same tried and tested programs on a completely new platform they just launched. Which makes complete sense, wouldn't it be irresponsible otherwise?
It gives them time to confirm a new technology and update their maps of areas with information from the new wavelengths they're just now gathering.

#9*braking (not breaking). You'd think car company staff would know how to spell a word representing 1/2 of the control space of a car.
edit: fixed, never mind.
Re: All Tesla Cars Being Produced Now Have Full Self-Driving Hardware
#10It was already announced before, that the hardware is included. And it was clear, that it is meant to be used for autonomous driving. And as they do not have autonomous driving yet, this is indeed just hot air... How would they know it is completed if there is no demonstration of it actually working?
