Tesla has spent years developing its Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Autopilot technology, which combines hardware and software to enable real-time environment analysis and perform various tasks such as controlling car speed, steering on city streets, responding to traffic lights, changing lanes, parking automatically, and more. Elon Musk tweeted in April 2023 that Tesla’s self-driving technology is the most advanced in the real world. However, integrating this advanced technology with other electric car brands would be a challenging and time-consuming process to achieve the same level of integration and efficiency found in Tesla vehicles.

Even if Tesla can overcome computational challenges using powerful supercomputers like Dojo, safety remains a crucial concern. Tesla has faced scrutiny over the safety of its Autopilot and FSD systems, leading to multiple investigations by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) into Tesla vehicle accidents involving driver assistance technology. Given these technical and safety obstacles, Tesla may not find as many interested parties for its FSD licensing offer as it did with the NACS charging standard. However, electric vehicle manufacturers may be tempted by the opportunity to bypass the extensive time and financial investment needed to develop their own driver-assist technology on par with Tesla’s system.
