yeah... I remember back then how useless and frustrating AP/EAP/FSD was when limited to 45 MPH, when driving in Arizona!If you weren't around when the original hardware launched with 8 cameras capable of supporting full-self driving in October 2016, here's the initial software release in January 2017:
Tesla rolling out Autopilot to cars built since October, will limit Autosteer to 45 mph
Autopilot/Autosteer was limited to 45 mph, and for about 4 months before this release owners with HW2 had no Autopilot functionality. And even then, there were calibration issues with resulting in wobbly lines and steering. I would think the rewrite targeting HW3 is on an even greater scale than Tesla's initial Autopilot software release targeting their own HW2, but back then it was a brand new codebase vs this case Tesla is able to leverage the existing code to collect data and tests for the new code.
