Ever Hit Anything On Auto-Park? Summon?

[Kermee]

my attorney has advised me not to answer this question.

"I can neither confirm nor deny details of any operation without the Secretary's approval."

I didn't know about the thread:

Auto Park Accident

However, now, I do so I would like to correct my false perception that there was only 1 autopark accident but actually, there are quite a few which someone said describe them as "broken record."

Completely forgot about auto-park. I need to try it.

Here's what I dont get. Why does autopark seem to work so good yet summon seems to be ignorant of objects around it? I can't tell you how many times I had to stop summon or else it would have crashed right into an object.

Varied thoughts:
Is it pulling the hard right as it passes the garage door opening? (may be trying to balance left and right empty space). With the 3 as a shorter car, it may not see it at first (try parking the 3 shallower?) Also, depending on charging setup, you might try reversing into the garage, I've read that causes less issues when exiting.

It happens rarely, out of the hundreds of times I've summoned, it's happened about a half dozen times. We also do it the same. Position the car in the same spot before summoning into the garage. There's never any issues summoning out of the garage.

What concerns me more, is that the X detected my 3, yet continued to head straight into it until I had to intervene. Came within 1 inch of hitting the car. Didn't try to stop, didn't try to turn away.

...I dont get...

I don't either but my guess is it's hardware and software related.

With hardware, Tesla needs to activate the rest of cameras.

With software, Tesla needs to write a better program or get a better A.I....

My impression is Summon is straight line. You are actively controlling it with the phone. The car isn’t in control so if you want to hit something it’ll let you. Autopark the car is in control and uses its sensor to (try) to avoid things,

Summon avoids obstacles (but doesn't steer around them, deflection only). There are minimum bumper and side distance settings for adjusting its behavior.

Stand near your car and try summon, it'll move around you. Pretty cool actually.
