Tesla Becomes Open-Sourced

One of my biggest passions is the car industry.  I love to follow whats happening around the car world, such as new innovations, technological advancements, and of course product releases.  A major car company that I like to follow is Tesla Motors because of the major step they have taken, and continue to take, towards making the world a better place.  Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO and Co-Founder, has been trying to convert the world into a more “sustainable” place through designing electric vehicles.  BNN reported on June 12, 2014, that Musk had announced Tesla was becoming “open-sourced”.  What this means is that they will allow other companies to infringe upon all of their patents.  This ethical approach is good for the world community because Tesla is trying to move the car industry forward by sharing their technology.  The company believes that being “open-sourced” will allow new advancements of the electric vehicle to occur faster than if Tesla was to monopolize its patents.  Running any type of business is ultimately about making profits, but even in the extremely competitive car business there are people like Elon Musk at Tesla who think about the greater good for humanity.
