Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Tuesday that it will take several years before Nvidia's new autonomous vehicle models pose serious competition to the company's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology.
During the CES conference in Las Vegas on Tuesday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced Alpamayo, a family of open artificial intelligence models for autonomous development.
Musk responded to the reveal in an X post from a user who likened the system to Tesla's FSD. Musk said it would take many years before self-driving technology becomes much safer than a human driver.
"The legacy car companies won't design the cameras and AI computers into their cars at scale until several years after that," he said in a post. "So this is maybe a competitive pressure on Tesla in 5 or 6 years, but probably longer."
