Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, recently disclosed that several prominent automakers are in talks with Tesla regarding the licensing of its autonomous driving technology. Tesla is receptive to these discussions, confident that showcasing its autonomous driving capabilities will entice more manufacturers to seek partnerships. Currently, Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology employs a purely vision-based approach, with the latest iteration, FSD V13.2.9, nearing the threshold of high-level autonomy. By licensing its technology, Tesla aims to alleviate development costs for automakers, expedite the widespread adoption of autonomous driving, and establish an industry standard akin to the Android model.
