Discussions Underway for Licensing Tesla's FSD Technology

Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, has disclosed ongoing discussions with several major car companies interested in licensing Tesla's Full-Self-Driving (FSD) technology. Musk emphasized the importance of high-volume deals to justify the complexity involved, stating Tesla would only engage in partnerships that promise significant scale.

Approach to Technology Sharing

Musk suggested that the most effective way for other automakers to understand Tesla's FSD technology is by dismantling a Tesla vehicle, rather than relying on CAD drawings. This hands-on approach, according to Musk, offers a deeper insight into the technology's workings.

Future of Unsupervised FSD

Expressing confidence in Tesla's advancements, Musk predicted the release of unsupervised FSD in Austin, Texas, and California within the year, with a broader rollout across the US by year-end. He also optimistically forecasted the technology's availability in most countries by the end of the following year.
