In a CES 2026 Q&A following NVIDIA's Alpamayo launch, CEO Jensen Huang again hailed Tesla's Full Self-Driving as world-class. The praise coincides with Tesla's rollout of reasoning capabilities in FSD v14.2 and plans for further advancements.
Building on his praise during NVIDIA's Alpamayo unveiling earlier at CES 2026, CEO Jensen Huang reiterated in a January 11 Q&A that Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) is "completely world-class" after years of refinement.
NVIDIA's Alpamayo provides AI tools for automakers, contrasting Tesla's in-house vehicle deployment. Meanwhile, Tesla Head of AI Ashok Elluswamy announced on January 9 that version 14.2 partially includes reasoning features, improving decisions around construction and parking. "More and more reasoning will ship in Q1," he said, paving the way for v14.3, which Elon Musk described as making the car "feel like it is sentient."
Musk has stressed the need for about 10 billion miles of data for unsupervised FSD due to edge-case complexity. Tesla's FSD has logged roughly 7 billion miles as of late 2025, including 2.5 billion from city streets. Huang's endorsement underscores FSD's progress amid ongoing challenges.
