In other words, if you want to get the technology behind the patent, you need to consult Toyota and sign a cooperation contract with various restrictions. Similarly, in 20 14, Tesla only opened patents and no open technology. Although it won a full house applause, its technical standards have not been widely adopted by competitors and new entrants.
