Abstract
A computer hardware system includes a full self-driving (FSD) assistive system for assisting a user with a trip using a FSD autonomous vehicle and hardware processing configured to initiate the following executable operations. Based upon a first user input to a computing device associated with the user, a proposed route of the trip is received. A previously-stored user profile of the user and a context of the trip is retrieved. The vehicle is searched for based upon the user profile, the proposed route, and the context. The vehicle is configured using the user profile. External sensors are polled for road conditions along the route, and the road conditions are forwarded to the vehicle. An onboard analytics device of the vehicle uses the road conditions to change a driving mode of the vehicle.
