During an online Q&A session, a netizen posed a question to James Douma, a seasoned expert in autonomous driving technology: "Should Tesla be concerned about NVIDIA's unveiling of the Alpamayo autonomous driving AI?" Douma replied that NVIDIA's move would not present a competitive threat to Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, drawing a parallel to how LEGO's release of a space shuttle model doesn't compete with SpaceX's 'Falcon 9' rocket. He pointed out that NVIDIA has indeed rolled out several generations of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) development kits and tools. However, these offerings are not fully-fledged ADAS systems in themselves; instead, they serve as aids to kickstart the ADAS development journey.
