The company has also been investing in artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance its vehicles’ self-driving features.
Why It's Important
The race for autonomous vehicle supremacy is heating up, with Tesla and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) unit Waymo among the frontrunners.
While Tesla relies heavily on cameras for its self-driving tech, Waymo emphasizes a standard that surpasses human driving capabilities.
Nvidia's Breakthrough
Meanwhile, Nvidia Corp.'s (NASDAQ:NVDA) Alpamayo model, introduced at CES 2026, is seen as a breakthrough in physical AI, utilizing radar, cameras, and LiDAR for human-like reasoning.
Meanwhile, the debate over autonomous insurance continues, with investor Jim Chanos criticizing Tesla’s collaboration with Lemonade Inc. (NYSE:LMND) on reduced insurance rates for FSD-engaged driving. Chanos argues that true full self-driving will require manufacturers to bear liability, potentially reshaping the insurance landscape.
