Shortly after the announcement of the agreement between Tesla and Ford which will allow to electric cars from the house of the blue oval to be able to access Superchargers in America, Elon Musk said on Twitter that Tesla would be happy to license Autopilot to other car manufacturers, Full Self Driving (FSD) and other technologies.
A statement that can be amaze but which, in reality, & egrave; perfectly in line with what the company has done up to now; American. In fact, back in 2014, the company had decided to make its patents freely available to everyone. The automaker had chosen to embrace this "open source" with the aim of providing a common and fast-evolving technology platform to advance more and more companies. the electric car industry rapidly.
Tesla aspires to be as helpful as possible to other car companies.
We made all our patents freely available several years ago.
Now, we are enabling other companies to use our Supercharger network.
Also happy to license Autopilot /FSD or other Tesla technology.

Elon Musk's new statement comes as a comment to an interview with General Motors CEO Mary Barra, who acknowledges Tesla's leadership in electric. Tesla's number one, therefore, claims that his company can & ograve; help other automakers by licensing its technologies. However, although Musk is taking advantage of the moment to offer his technical solutions, ` hard to thinkthat a major car manufacturer may decide to consider, for example, Tesla's Autopilot or Full Self Driving.
Ford's BlueCruise and GM's Super Cruise, for example, are advanced driver assistance systems that work well and are easy to use. It's hard to think that Ford or General Motors, just to give two examples of American manufacturers, could decide to "throw away" million dollars to adopt another platform. An agreement would perhaps be more convenient. beneficial to the largest startups; however, they would have to invest heavily in hardware to make Tesla's software work properly.
We'll see what happens. All that remains is to wait to understand if after Ford, other important manufacturers will enter into agreements with the company; by Elon Musk.
