According to Sawyer Merritt on X, Elon Musk stated that legacy automakers have not demonstrated genuine interest in licensing Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology. Musk explained that when traditional automakers occasionally approach Tesla, they only propose limited pilot programs with unrealistic requirements and long timelines, making meaningful AI-powered automotive partnerships unlikely for now (source: x.com/elonmusk/status/1993035990462795922). This reluctance from established automakers highlights challenges in industry-wide adoption of advanced autonomous driving AI, potentially delaying mass-market deployment of self-driving solutions and slowing AI-driven transformation within the automotive sector.
