Tesla Will Support FSD Licensing By Other Manufacturers
Posted On: February 1, 2022

Back in 2019 Tesla presented the evolution of Autopilot, the FSDor "Full Self-Driving" system. No longer just a mere roadside assistant, it basically promised to get you from point A to B, though while always keeping your eyes on the road. In short, and despite the name, it is still an autonomous level 2 "ADAS"; that is, the driver must be paying full attention at all times.


Two years later, and with the system still in beta, Elon Musk stated the following about the system, at Q4 shareholders meeting: "I think Tesla is open to licensing autonomous driving because I think it will be a relevant lifesaver and prevent injuries, that we can´t keep to ourselves. So I think it would be morally right to license it to other manufacturers if they want to use it." It is important to point out that Tesla was open to licensing discussions before, as well.

My Take: When Tesla cracks FSD, it will be a licence to print money. Only Tesla will have it. The other OEMs will have to pay to play.
