In a surprising turn of events, BMW has expressed strong interest in Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities, particularly after witnessing FSD V13.2 performance. The German automaker’s comments says “very impressive” have ignited speculation about potential licensing agreements between the two automotive giants.
The European automotive landscape faces significant challenges in autonomous driving development, with limited solutions available for widespread deployment. Tesla’s FSD has demonstrated remarkable capabilities, particularly with v13.2, drawing attention from traditional automakers.
BMW’s commentary on Tesla’s FSD performance, specifically regarding complex maneuvers, indicates a shift in perspective from traditional manufacturers. This acknowledgment comes at a crucial time when autonomous driving solutions are becoming increasingly vital for market competitiveness.
Neither BMW nor Tesla has confirmed official licensing discussions. However, the precedent set by Tesla’s Supercharger network sharing suggests potential openness to technology partnerships. The automotive industry’s collaborative nature continues to evolve as technology advances.
As automakers navigate the autonomous future, Tesla’s FSD might just be the driving force that brings competitors to the table.
