I was thinking about it from a risk perspective. i.e. some yahoo gets in the rental and crashes on AP, and then sues Hertz, Tesla etc. It's easier to claim that an owner should know what they are doing than some renter.
I'd guess it's how they do tolls now at most companies. They just bill you for them after the fact.
Sam is a car Guru regular on The Tech Guy radio show hosted by Leo Laporte. He worked in Auto industry for decades and now has a Podcast ("Wheel Bearings"). I do distinctly remember him saying, on Leo's show, not only did he not like Tesla's he could not stand the sound of Elon's voice. He seems like a real smart guy and technically savvy but as Upton Sinclair wrote "It is difficult to get a to understand something when..."I had to do a double-take because initially I thought this was a random troll, given the quality of the reply.
It turns out she’s Head of Communications, Marketing, & Public Affairs at Waymo
Thank god, Tesla doesn’t have a PR department (Gary can go … sell his shares) and this confirms that Tesla is on the right path to FSD.

Remember some of FSD option/subscription is already available. Only city streets not released. If I rent a Tesla from Hertz I will want NAP.
You are right! So Right! Except your phone/bluetooth will automatically do it. Not a mini-pop-up menu. Or Hertz will have done it "pre-delivery if you allow Hertz to store your settings.

Now that I think about it, on Twitter Elon confirmed that your car's personal preferences will be stored in the cloud, so that any authorized car will be instantly customized. That's the ticket.

Hertz has the logistic to pick up inventory in Fremont and move it wherever it is needed. On any given day, they have auto haulers at major airports to relocate inventory.
