Nissan has unveiled its next-gen driver assist AI technology called ProPilot, which the company says will be on par with Tesla's FSD when it is released by March 2028. “We think ours is smarter than Tesla FSD, just not as polished as a product,” said Nissan. The prototype vehicles... feature 11 cameras, 5 radar sensors, and a next-generation LiDAR sensor. "Demonstrated on Ariya prototype vehicles in downtown Tokyo, the system combines Wayve AI Driver software with Nissan’s Ground Truth Perception and next-generation LiDAR."show more

@Tesla "“We think ours is smarter than Tesla FSD, just not as polished as a product,” said Nissan."

@Tesla 😂😂 Ok, bravo for trying. But March 2028?!? Do they have any idea where FSD will be in 2.5 years?! The release date alone means game over.

@Tesla Nissan won’t be around in 2028.

@Tesla lol in 3 years FSD will be a completely different beast

@Tesla We need the Elon “lol” comment over here

@Tesla While I love FSD on my Tesla, we shouldn't mock every other company thats trying to participate in the quest to solve autonomy. Competition in the market drives innovation. The market will decide who ultimately wins.

@Tesla 3 years away

So it will be introduced at a time when AI5 will be getting it's second or third big model update and AI6 is just hitting the ground.. Not to mention that AI4 is getting its second large model update. Yet they say it's better because they taped a bunch of sensors on a car. Lol Okay dokie - goes well with their massive sell off of assets lately and looming debt payback. Going to idle on this one. They didn't have to compare this to Tesla but they opened the box, so here we are. Haha 😆

@Tesla Launching 2027... LMAO.. 😆 someone tell them, "sir the war is over in 2027, you might as well save your money and drop this whole system now. Instead just partner with Tesla_Ai to aviod wasting billion's of dollars trying to build a better mouse trap only to fail badly...

@Tesla The audacity to say "will be on par with FSD" in THREE YEARS... And then expecting that Tesla will just sit still and do nothing until then? :D

@Tesla LOL LOL LOL LOL “We think ours is smarter than Tesla FSD, just not as polished as a product,” said Nissan. It went with Wayve which actually has some decent of working but c'mon

@Tesla 2028 lol

@Tesla 11? If it’s so much smarter why does it need all of that? 🤦‍♀️

@Tesla So Tesla will sit idle until 2028 and wait for Nissan’s unpolished bundle of a software to catch up? It is either vision or it is not!!

@Tesla Good luck.

@Tesla Talk is cheap. In fact, it’s free. (Minus losing your credibility, but that only happens when your customers remember what you said 2 years ago.)

@Tesla And in 2.5y when ProPilot is finally out (maybe), FSD will be so much better. Probably FSD will be adding conveniences like avoid potholes at that point rather than still working on basics and safety.

I love how everyone who has a problem with Tesla using the name "Autopilot" (a word exclusively related to pilot assistance systems in airplanes, which notably do not fly the plane all by themselves) has no problem with the name "ProPilot" being used by Nissan (a name which definitely implies that your car will be driven as well as, or better than, a professional driver would drive it). Funny how they only have issues with the things Tesla does.

@Tesla This is great parody.

@Tesla By next year Nissan will stop ProPilot! It is amazing how these companies have not learned the lesson that adding Lidar and radars are a fool’s errand.

@Tesla 2028 🤣. They really don’t understand the AI chips Tesla is building and the data they have. AI5 will be in full swing and there will be Cybercabs everywhere

@Tesla 🙄 on par with what version specifically?

@Tesla 2028. lol. Also better than FSD? lol

@Tesla Do people really believe this crap? I mean do Nissan believe this?

@Tesla

@Tesla Probably dead in the water! I believe it when I see it!

@Tesla Elon: "If cameras, radar, and lidar disagree, which do you trust?" Nisan: "Add more sensors!"

The Price of Procrastination In autonomy, 2.5 years can feel like a decade. And that’s exactly the gap #Nissan has set for itself with ProPilot — promising a 2028 release in a race where Tesla and China are already rewriting the rules of mobility. While Tesla runs #FSD in the real world today, amassing billions of real driving miles, preparing Robotaxi #Cybercabs under $30k, and launching a network by 2026 modeled on “#Uber + #Airbnb”… While #China’s giants — #Baidu, #WeRide, #Didi — operate fully driverless fleets in megacities, scaling robotaxis and robobuses at a pace no Western automaker can match… And while #EHang pioneers certified autonomous aerial taxis (#eVTOLs), opening an entirely new dimension of urban mobility… Nissan is still announcing. This is the unforgiving reality of exponential markets: Execution compounds. Data compounds. Network effects compound. Announcements don’t. In an industry projected to grow from $428B in 2025 to nearly $1T by 2033, being late isn’t just costly — it’s existential. Those who hesitate risk finding their “next-gen” tech obsolete before it even arrives. 🚀 For entrepreneurs and investors, the lesson is clear: The question isn’t whether autonomy will win — that’s settled. The only question that matters: who gets there first, and who’s left watching. 👉 See the signals before the market prices them in:

@Tesla The just cancelled the ariya…? Waymo jaguar 2.0

@Tesla Oh please! 🤣🤣

@Tesla “We think ours is smarter than Tesla FSD, just not as polished as a product,” How does that work they??? 😂

@Tesla This coming from a company that may go bankrupt at any moment

@Tesla

@Tesla This past weekend, FSD did this trip to the coast and back with zero interventions of any kind.
