How is this any different than Microsoft restricting Home versions of Office for non-business use? They've been getting away with that for decades now.
Well, for one, a car is a physical object; you can't near-instantaneously create an arbitrary number of exact duplicates of your car.

In the Model S configuration page, "enhanced autopilot" and "full self-driving capability" are still optional extras that together cost $8,000, so I'm not sure what they're talking about here.

All the necessary hardware? Do Teslas have lidar?

#55The amount of objects for detecting and avoiding will be way too high.
The tests shows almost clear conditions for driving. This should be tested on streets of NY or a busy city like Mumbai

#56I don't think these autopilot systems will work well in crowded cities or cities with poor infrastructure for roads. The amount of objects for detecting and avoiding will be way too high.

#57This is quite interesting, I hadn't seen or heard about their intention to restrict like this, prior reading it tonight: "Please note also that using a self-driving Tesla for car sharing and ride hailing for friends and family is fine, but doing so for revenue purposes will only be permissible on the Tesla Network, details of which will be released next year."

Lidar is not "necessary" hardware. Humans drive just fine without lidar.

"All Tesla vehicles have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver." In the Model S configuration page, "enhanced autopilot" and "full self-driving capability" are still optional extras that together cost $8,000, so I'm not sure what they're talking about here. https://www.tesla.com/models/design
Apparently, these features can also be unlocked at a future time, for a higher fee of $10,000.
