Investor Gary Black said legacy automakers including General Motors, Ford and others are unlikely to license Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, arguing they will prefer to develop unsupervised autonomous-driving systems themselves as autonomy becomes essential to the auto industry. His view contrasts with Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s repeated claims that the company has offered FSD licensing to traditional manufacturers, although none has accepted. Ford CEO Jim Farley has said the company is monitoring the robotaxi market, while Ford’s Universal EV Platform is designed to support Level 3 autonomous driving. Tesla has also opened Roadster reservations ahead of an October 1 launch, requiring $50,000 through a refundable $5,000 card payment and a $45,000 wire transfer within 10 days. Separately, investor Ross Gerber said he saw a lot filled with Waymo robotaxis and predicted significant expansion in California. Waymo has expanded to 15 cities and plans to launch in Tokyo next year. Tesla shares were reported at $379.10, up 0.05%, in overnight trading on Tuesday, compared with an earlier report of a 0.15% gain to $375.79 in Tuesday premarket trading.
