Hey look... its a room full of paranoids mixed in with the usual FUD from all affected industries, along with some sincerely concerned people with a few good points too. I read them all, here's my take.
What you don't hear are all the other 100's of thousands of people enjoying FSD, like myself for the past 2+ years. Then some of us received a free upgraded computer for our early Model 3s, plus a dozen other safety related features that helped keep me (and you) safer than driving by myself. This I am 100% certain.
There are plenty of folks who are comfortable and want to help train the system during this extraordinary moment of all time IMO. But rest assured, we monitor Summon in a parking lot with other people. Yes some reckless folks are sleeping while driving, and I believe 2 of these cars have caught on fire. Still much safer than any car out there. I'm talking facts and experience, very different than fear and speculation.
Consider this. I almost hit a little girl backing up while driving my car - using my own hands. For someone here to make the leap that a child is the same as a pole is just adding to the rumors. This does not happen, but with all other vehicles you should definitely be concerned. Show me where this has happened with a Tesla using Summon. Not saying it's impossible, but I'm just stating facts here.
Parking Lot Safety
"NSC analysis of government data indicates that 9% of pedestrian deaths in parking lots result from backup incidents."
Seriously, the end game is to increase safety and it's well on its way to achieving their stated goal of 10x humans. If you don't want to participate, we understand. If you want to write about how the sky is falling and you've never driven one and you think that these are running over people today, please stop.
We have no proof this story is real, but it's also possible IMHO, and so my heart goes out to the OP. I've seen my car get confused too, and even saw that video of a car in a garage a long time ago, but you have no idea how much better it is now compared to the first version. My trust level is quite high, but I monitor as needed and agreed to do.
When on the road, I know all the trouble spots like on turns or construction. Millions teaching this car, so it's getting pretty freakin smart and that's accelerating. They are rewriting the code base (again) for 3D learning vs just for visualizations and are about 2-3 months away. The parking lot has to be the most complex task on earth for driving so please be patient, thank you.
My recommendation for those who use Summon, I don't think it's quite ready for busy shopping hours of use, and I have annoyed some folks as it tries to navigate stuff. But do test it often when the traffic is not so peak. I would trust it around people and my own children (well dog not so much bc he's so fast). I have recorded dozens of parking lot visits and it's to the point you can't tell no one is driving about 75% of the time... if you're looking for it.
Wouldn't trade in Tesla safety for the world.
