So this is the picture being painted of Mobileye's business dealings by Tesla and Hotz (and by MBLY themselves)
1. MBLY will coerce you to use their technology by working with regulators to lower your ratings if you don't use them.
2. If it appears you are looking at alternatives, they will threaten you and increase prices.
3. If you stop using them, they will seek to publically humiliate and disparage you.
That sounds more like a bad, big city protection racket than an innovative tech company. Would make me pause if I was thinking of working with them and I would make sure I at least had a window open if they were my supplier. Tesla may not be beloved in the automotive world, but these accusations can't sit well with other manufacturers.
