Summon. SUMMON. S-U-M-M-O-N. A summons is legal paperwork. Summon is to beckon your vehicle to you. Sommon.
Surely it would be better to stop when a vehicle begins to reverse into your predicted path. But that feature obviously isn't implemented, even though it's the most common scenario in a parking lot.
This was very nearly the situation I was in. I used an empty section of a parking lot, and intentionally summoned to a location that would require the car to either run over a curb or drive around it, and the car almost drove over the curb while driving around it. It took the turn way too tight, and paused for 5-10 seconds while deciding what to do.

I parked at the green dot and stood at the red dot. The car backed up as expected, drove the long way around the island, and was an inch or two from driving up over the curb where the orange arrow is. These are the kinds of situations that lead me to believe that the vision system isn't actually being used as we'd expect during summon. At least not on HW 2.5 cars. It seems much more like the car is driving with radar and ultrasonics, and
maybe the front camera for pedestrian detection. Maybe. But given if you approach the car from more than 45 degrees off center it doesn't react to you, it could either be the radar, ultrasonics, or the narrow FOV camera that gets recorded for sentry mode.
