Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated that it will take several years before Nvidia's new autonomous driving models pose serious competition to Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) technology.
His reaction came after the presentation of Alpamayo by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during the CES conference in Las Vegas.
Musk said that autonomous driving technology is "relatively easy" to achieve 99% safety, but very difficult to solve the "problem" of rare situations.
And according to him, traditional car manufacturers will be late in the massive integration of AI cameras and computers.
"The legacy car companies won't design AI cameras and computers into their cars on a large scale until several years from now," he said in a post. "So this is probably a competitive pressure on Tesla in 5 or 6 years, but maybe even longer."
Huang praised Tesla's FSD system as "world-class," noting that Nvidia provides technology platforms to other manufacturers and does not manufacture vehicles itself.
FSD remains essential to Tesla's long-term revenue growth strategy. /Telegraph/
