Part 8/13:
Musk emphasizes that the path to licensing Tesla's FSD is complicated. Many legacy automakers, such as Ford and GM, seem reluctant to license Tesla's technology because doing so could threaten their proprietary systems and future revenue. They prefer internal development, which is often slow, expensive, and fraught with technological hurdles.
Analysts have highlighted that such licensing deals could be mutually beneficial. Tesla could license its technology under specific terms, helping overcome the formidable challenges of AI development through partnerships with other automakers or tech companies. Tesla's stance is that, for the safety benefits and moral responsibility, sharing this technology might be necessary.
