The Tesla "FSD" computer is actually "dual redundant" as mentioned in this Tesla Autonomy Day clip from 3 years ago: https://youtu.be/Ucp0TTmvqOE?t=4648 However to your point, 2 is not enough; it's only enough to tell you *someone* is wrong, but not who. Hence why in my job with hardware testing we need a minimum of 3 devices tested to indicate which one is the outlier, if any. Given that "FSD" even now is still a level 2 system where the driver is fully responsible for the actions of the car, I suppose they don't care, if one computer doesn't agree with the other, it kicks back to you, the responsible driver. Very annoying and dangerous if this happens around a sharp turn or construction zone, as (non-FSD) autopilot tends to do, however.
