Tesla CEO Elon Musk said there are discussions with other automakers about licensing full-self-driving (FSD).
"What we're seeing is significant interest from a number of major car companies about licensing Tesla FSD technology," Musk said. "What we've generally said is, the best way to know what to do is take one of our cars apart....That's better than us sending some CAD drawings," he added. However, Musk said Tesla would only entertain situations "where the volume will be very high," seeing as how, otherwise, it's "not worth the complexity." Tesla won't "burden" its engineering team with "laborious discussions" with other engineering teams until it has "unsupervisable self-driving working throughout the US," Musk stressed.
Musk also said he was confident that Tesla would release unsupervised FSD in Austin, Texas and in California this year. "In fact, I think we will most likely release unsupervised FSD in many regions of the US by the end of this year," he said. He then predicted that Tesla would "hopefully" have unsupervised FSD in "most countries" by the end of next year.
