Tesla shows their car-ds

How to avoid lawsuits and and get more electric cars on the road.

Elon Musk, founder of the electric car company Tesla, said today he’s basically going open source.

He’s going to let anyone who wants to, in good faith, use Tesla’s patents in the hopes of getting more electric cars on the road faster.

As excited as he was back in the day by his first patent, now Musk says more often than not it’s just an invitation to a lawsuit.
