Tesla Could Allow Other Automakers To Utilize Its Self-Driving Technology
Last Thursday was Tesla‘s AI Day, and in addition to some of the wild projects Elon Musk has in store has for the company, we might’ve also gotten a clue about something that could be a huge step in the push towards autonomous vehicles. Namely, the possibility that the company’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology could be licensed out to other brands.At the AI Day event, Autocar asked Musk if Tesla would consider making their FSD software open-source, to which he replied: “Well, it is fundamentally extremely expensive to create the system, so somehow that has to be paid for. Unless people want to work for free. But I should say that, if other car companies want to license it and use it in their cars, that’d be cool. This is not intended to just be limited to Tesla cars.”
