Enhanced Summon Test..Amazing

[Daniel in SD]

No lane markings, no curbs. What did you expect? I think that worked great. It drove over flat surfaces toward you, and stopped before hitting a person. Put that in a parking lot where it is designed to operate, and it will perform as intended.

I’m sure someone in a parking lot will find it hilarious when your car cuts across parking spaces and heads right towards them like in the video. Actually that is pretty hilarious but I may have a dark sense of humor.

You’re going to get a summons if you use summon in a public location. So not ready for the masses.

If you are afraid to use it, don’t. I wouldn’t try it in Target or Costco parking on a busy day. It will get better like many Tesla features have since they were released.

I believe you're only supposed to use it in parking lots. That said it definitely needs some "tuning" IMO, at least based on my experience with it.

does your wife know that you allowed the Model 3 outside to stalk your daughter?

Maybe if you park a firetruck on your grass, the M3 will go around?

we are at least 5 years away from something like this being reliable and safe.

I don't think so... remember AI learns so much quicker than humans, within five years AI will be driving more miles than humans.

Looks like she was standing right next to her husband, recording the action, or non-action.

For those that haven't discovered this, Autopilot can navigate roads without lane markings...you only need about 50ft. of markings to engage Autopilot, then it detects pavement edges and keeps the car biased of the right side of the pavement.

I'm curious, don't people typically drive across empty parking spots in empty-ish parking lots?

Yes, but they don't typically drive across empty parking lots, aim directly towards someone and then when the person tries to get out of way turn towards them. It's hilarious to us because it's probably safe but others might not find it so funny.

I hope people start adding horror movie soundtracks to their summon videos.

Shrug.. I dont drive across parking spaces, even in empty parking lots. Maybe im in the minority on this?

But it's coming next week!

Me neither. I guess it is somewhat ingrained in some of us to not cross lines.

Sometimes though, when it feels safe to do so, I pull forward from the parking spot to avoid backing up, if the spot in front is empty.

Common mistake is to do that when there's a parking stop in front of the car. I wonder how Smart Summon will deal with that problem. Does it remember where the parking stops are when you pull it into the space? I suppose the best solution would be for it to always leave the space the way you came in.
Another tricky situation is if there's a stroller very close to the side of the car. I wonder how well it can detect things to the side of the car that weren't there when you parked.

this is even funnier if you set the playback speed to 2x. i was expecting it to try to correct its position on the road Austin Powers style. you're lucky you didn't have a drainage ditch next to your driveway!

Interesting. I recall a lot of industries working with AI saying the same thing 5 years ago. There has been growth but no massive AI takeover as yet.
