“Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Available for Licensing: Will Anyone Take the Bait?”

### Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Software: Will Other Automakers Bite?

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has once again expressed the company’s openness to licensing its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software to other automakers. Despite this offer, no takers have emerged, likely due to skepticism about the benefits of FSD.

#### Musk’s Offer to License FSD

Musk responded to a tweet suggesting that Tesla could benefit from a future where all cars are self-driving and electric by stating that Tesla would be willing to make such deals. However, as of now, no agreements have been reached with other companies.

#### Industry Competition

While Tesla’s FSD offers impressive features, it is not unique in the industry. Competitors like BMW and Mercedes are already offering Level 3 ADAS, while others are working on Level 4 autonomous technology for robotaxis.

#### Safety Concerns

In terms of safety, Tesla’s self-driving systems have not received top ratings. The IIHS rated both FSD and Autopilot as “poor.” Other automakers like GM and Nissan have systems rated as “marginal” or “acceptable.”

#### Latest Updates

Despite criticisms, Tesla remains enthusiastic about its FSD technology. Musk claims that the latest version is “mind-blowing” and has offered complimentary samples to Tesla drivers.

In conclusion, while Tesla is open to licensing its FSD software, other automakers remain hesitant due to skepticism and competition in the industry. Safety concerns and technological advancements also play a role in shaping the future of self-driving technology.
