"Xpeng CEO He Xiaopeng has offered fresh praise for Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system after revisiting Silicon Valley more than a year after his first hands-on experience. Following extended test drives of Tesla vehicles running the latest FSD software, He stated that the system has made major strides, reinforcing his view that Tesla's approach to autonomy is indeed the proper path towards autonomy."
"During his visit, He test-drove a Tesla equipped with FSD V14.2. He also rode in a Tesla Robotaxi. Over roughly five hours of driving across Silicon Valley and San Francisco, He said both vehicles delivered consistent and reassuring performance, a notable improvement from his experience a year earlier. According to He, Tesla's FSD has evolved from a smooth Level 2 advanced driver assistance system into what he described as a "near-Level 4" experience in terms of capabilities."
Tesla's Full Self-Driving V14.2 delivered consistent, reassuring performance during roughly five hours of driving across Silicon Valley and San Francisco, marking notable improvement over previous iterations. The system's capabilities have shifted from Level 2 advanced driver assistance toward a near-Level 4 experience, though imperfections remain. A unified software and hardware architecture across private vehicles and robotaxis is presented as a long-term approach to accelerate progress and bypass intermediate autonomy stages. Prior comparisons indicated Waymo performed better in dense urban environments while Tesla excelled in Silicon Valley and on highways. Xpeng aims to upgrade its VLA system to match this performance.
