Tesla caused a sensation with the release of Smart Summon last year. This allows a Tesla to pick up an owner in some cases and the owner’s watchful eye to ensure everyone’s safety. However, the summoning function could become even more intelligent by the end of 2020.
According to comments released by Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk on Twitter this Thursday, the company is working to include a “reverse summon” feature as part of an expanded feature Full Self-Driving Option numerous owners have paid in advance. The passengers could leave their Tesla and the car would find a parking space on its own. Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment on further information.

Musk said the company is working “super hard” on the launch Stop sign and traffic light detection First, what some owners with early access to the autopilot software have already shown. Next on deck is the Reverse Summon, which will be included in a “core” software upgrade later this year.
When Smart summoning rolled out, we saw numerous Instances of close calls Teslas did its best to reach the owners and pick them up from a parking lot or other areas. Although it’s novel, neat, and a fun party trick, it’s really not for public use, as numerous other cars drive around and pedestrians walk. We have to wait and see if the latest software update can help, especially if Musk provides Teslas to park without instructions.
