He was, however, one of the first to try out FSD v14. </p>    <p>“I was very late to own a Tesla but among the earliest to try out FSD v14.

First it feels surreal, next it becomes routine. Then, like the smartphone, taking it away actively hurts. This is how humanity gets rewired and glued to god-like technologies.”</p>    <figure><div> <blockquote><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I was very late to own a Tesla but among the earliest to try out FSD v14.

<p>NVIDIA's Director of Robotics, Jim Fan, praised Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) v14 as the first AI to pass the "Physical Turing Test." Fan described his experience with FSD v14 as initially magical, then routine, likening its removal to losing a smartphone. Elon Musk agreed, noting the AI's maturing sentience. The Physical Turing Test evaluates AI's intelligence through physical actions, a milestone achieved by Tesla's FSD v14.</p>

- NVIDIA Director of Robotics Jim Fan has described Tesla’s Full Self-Driving v14 as the first AI to pass the "Physical Turing Test."  
- Fan indicated that using FSD v14 initially felt magical, but it became routine, similar to smartphone usage, and stated that removing such technology would be detrimental.  
- He highlighted the significance of the Physical Turing Test, which assesses AI's capability in real-world physical interactions, praising Tesla for achieving this milestone with FSD v14.
