On January 6th, chip behemoth NVIDIA made significant strides in advancing its autonomous vehicle technology. According to a recent evaluation conducted by the esteemed U.S. tech website The Verge, NVIDIA's autonomous driving system is making rapid progress and is already exerting competitive pressure on Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. At the CES exhibition, NVIDIA proudly unveiled its Alpamayo series of AI models. These models leverage a visual-language-action (VLA) framework grounded in chain-of-thought reasoning, with the specific aim of bolstering the decision-making prowess of autonomous vehicles in intricate and uncommon scenarios.

NVIDIA also made a significant announcement: the first vehicle equipped with its cutting-edge technology is set to grace the roads of the United States in the first quarter. Furthermore, NVIDIA's autonomous driving system has showcased remarkable performance in real-world trials. For instance, it enabled the Mercedes-Benz CLA sedan to navigate complex road conditions with seamless ease, achieving autonomous driving that was both smooth and reliable. Looking ahead, NVIDIA has outlined an ambitious plan to incrementally expand the reach of its autonomous driving technology over the next several years, while simultaneously accelerating the deployment of autonomous taxis, thereby paving the way for a future where self-driving vehicles become the norm.
