Part 3/7:
The conversation turns towards the concept of licensing FSD software. It seems quite plausible that smaller car manufacturers, particularly those with limited resources, might be inclined to partner with major companies like Tesla for FSD capabilities. This is particularly true given that many smaller firms may not have the budget or time frame to develop their own autonomous systems.
Ford is currently prevalent in discussions concerning partnerships, largely attributed to the strong rapport between CEO Jim Farley and Elon Musk. With General Motors (GM) being a less likely candidate due to their strained relationship with Tesla, many analysts see Ford emerging as a front-runner in adopting or licensing FSD technology.
