Elon Musk Says Tesla Will Be 'Happy' To License FSD To Rivals — But No Automaker Seems Interested Right Now
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday reiterated that the company would be "happy" to license its full self-driving (FSD) technology to other car companies but are rivals interested?
特斯拉公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）首席执行官埃隆·马斯克周三重申，该公司将 “乐意” 将其全自动驾驶（FSD）技术许可给其他汽车公司，但竞争对手有兴趣吗？
What Happened: A Tesla enthusiast took to X on Wednesday to envision a future where Tesla has achieved autonomous driving and is the world leader in EV sales.
发生了什么：周三，一位特斯拉爱好者在X上展望了特斯拉实现自动驾驶并成为电动汽车销售全球领导者的未来。
The CEO responded to the user terming their predictions "obvious" and added that the company would also license its autonomous driving technology to other car companies.
首席执行官回应该用户，称他们的预测 “显而易见”，并补充说，该公司还将把自动驾驶技术许可给其他汽车公司。
And we will license the tech to other car companies

而且我们将把这项技术许可给其他汽车公司

Musk in later posts clarified that the EV company will be "happy" to do deals with rival carmakers where they integrate the tech into their vehicles for free and the car owner pays for the tech license. He also added that there is a "good chance" that FSD licensing earnings will exceed Tesla's auto business earnings in the future.
马斯克在后来的帖子中澄清说，这家电动汽车公司将 “乐意” 与竞争对手的汽车制造商达成协议，让他们免费将这项技术集成到汽车中，车主支付技术牌照。他还补充说，未来FSD的许可收入 “很有可能” 超过特斯拉的汽车业务收益。
Tesla would be happy to do such deals
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 4, 2024
特斯拉会很乐意做这样的交易
— 埃隆·马斯克 (@elonmusk) 2024 年 4 月 4 日
Industry Interest: Musk first expressed willingness to license Tesla's autopilot and FSD technologies to other car companies in June. However, in January, the company said that it had not entered into a single FSD licensing agreement until then.
行业兴趣：马斯克于6月首次表示愿意将特斯拉的自动驾驶和FSD技术许可给其他汽车公司。但是，该公司在1月份表示，在此之前尚未签订任何FSD许可协议。
Though the company had some tentative conversations, no agreement was entered into. "I think they (rival automakers) don't believe it's real quite yet," Musk then said."I do want to emphasize that if I were CEO of another car company, I would definitely be calling Tesla and asking to license Tesla's full self-driving technology."
尽管该公司进行了一些初步的对话，但没有达成任何协议。“我认为他们（竞争对手的汽车制造商）还不相信这是真的，” 马斯克接着说。”我确实想强调的是，如果我是另一家汽车公司的首席执行官，我一定会打电话给特斯拉，要求对特斯拉的全自动驾驶技术进行许可。”
FSD Update: Tesla started rolling out 30-day free FSD trials to vehicle owners in the U.S. who did not purchase it over the weekend. The move is aimed at demonstrating the abilities of the software which the company says will enable fully autonomous driving in due time.
FSD更新：特斯拉开始向周末未购买FSD的美国车主推出30天的免费FSD试用版。此举旨在展示该软件的能力，该公司称该软件将在适当的时候实现完全自动驾驶。
Currently, the software performs as a driver assistance system that requires active driver supervision. However, it "should be really shining bright" by late April or May, Musk said in March.
当前，该软件作为驾驶员辅助系统运行，需要积极的驾驶员监督。但是，马斯克在三月份表示，到4月下旬或5月，它 “应该会非常明亮”。
