Elon Musk of Tesla downplays Nvidia’s new autonomous driving models, saying they won’t pose a threat to Tesla’s Full Self-Driving system for 5-6 years. Nvidia CEO Huang announced Alpamayo at CES, focusing on supporting autonomous vehicle development. Musk argues solving edge cases for self-driving safety will be challenging.

Legacy automakers are years away from integrating custom camera systems and AI computers at scale, delaying competition with Tesla. Huang praises Tesla’s FSD stack as state-of-the-art but emphasizes Nvidia’s focus on providing full AV platforms to automakers, not building vehicles.

Tesla’s long-term strategy centers on autonomy, with tests of robotaxi services in Austin and a supervised ride-hailing service in San Francisco. The company continues to train a next-generation FSD model. TSLA currently trades at $433.37 on NasdaqGS, up 0.09%.
