1. A computer-implemented process performed by a full self-driving (FSD) assistive system for assisting a user with a trip using a FSD autonomous vehicle, comprising:
receiving, based upon a first user input to a computing device associated with the user, a proposed route of the trip;
retrieving a previously-stored user profile of the user and a context of the trip;
searching for the vehicle based upon the user profile, the proposed route, and the context;
configuring the vehicle using the user profile;
polling external sensors for road conditions along the route; and
forwarding the road conditions to the vehicle, wherein
an onboard analytics device of the vehicle uses the road conditions to change a driving mode of the vehicle, and
the FSD assistive system is configured to map the context of the trip to a particular vehicle, wherein the FSD assistive system is configured to communicate with a third party based upon the context of the trip, and wherein the FSD assistive system is configured to identify an additional vehicle for use during the trip based upon a communication with the third party.
