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（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克週三重申，該公司將 “樂意” 將其全自動駕駛（FSD）技術許可給其他汽車公司，但競爭對手有興趣嗎？
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.
發生了什麼：週三，一位特斯拉愛好者在X上展望了特斯拉實現自動駕駛併成爲電動汽車銷售全球領導者的未來。
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.
首席執行官回應該用戶，稱他們的預測 “顯而易見”，並補充說，該公司還將把自動駕駛技術許可給其他汽車公司。
And we will license the tech to other car companies

而且我們將把這項技術許可給其他汽車公司
— 埃隆·馬斯克 (@elonmusk) 2024 年 4 月 3 日
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.
馬斯克在後來的帖子中澄清說，這家電動汽車公司將 “樂意” 與競爭對手的汽車製造商達成協議，讓他們免費將這項技術集成到汽車中，車主支付技術牌照。他還補充說，未來FSD的許可收入 “很有可能” 超過特斯拉的汽車業務收益。
Tesla would be happy to do such deals
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 4, 2024
特斯拉會很樂意做這樣的交易
— 埃隆·馬斯克 (@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.
行業興趣：馬斯克於6月首次表示願意將特斯拉的自動駕駛和FSD技術許可給其他汽車公司。但是，該公司在1月份表示，在此之前尚未簽訂任何FSD許可協議。
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."
儘管該公司進行了一些初步的對話，但沒有達成任何協議。“我認爲他們（競爭對手的汽車製造商）還不相信這是真的，” 馬斯克接着說。”我確實想強調的是，如果我是另一家汽車公司的首席執行官，我一定會打電話給特斯拉，要求對特斯拉的全自動駕駛技術進行許可。”
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：特斯拉開始向週末未購買FSD的美國車主推出30天的免費FSD試用版。此舉旨在展示該軟件的能力，該公司稱該軟件將在適當的時候實現完全自動駕駛。
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.
當前，該軟件作爲駕駛員輔助系統運行，需要積極的駕駛員監督。但是，馬斯克在三月份表示，到4月下旬或5月，它 “應該會非常明亮”。
