Dang. That would have been the best of all the new features :-(Looks like I was correct; the US got the new auto parking and summon features. Whoot. No Spotify, as expected. Boo.

I'm new to this (only had my car a week) so forgive me these stupid questions. I just went out to the car and no notifications. Do they pop up onto the screen without having to dig in to software revision stuff?
I suspect this is because the existing sensor tech may have insufficient vertical sight to obstacles on steeper slopes and inclines ...just too many possible failures in a first implementation, especially if you think about a driveway with humps and/or valleys and obstacles where fixed sensors may miss them, or get confused on those slopes with false positives (current sensors have that issue with some larger speed bumps and steep driveways I've encountered).Summon sounds great if it will allow you to park from outside the car in a tight home garage with the mirrors folded. Disappointing that it only works on flat driveways, though...
IMHO, Elon has now met another of his former AutoPilot commitments which is great.
While improvements to Auto Park may help a few more owners be able to use the capability with their specific driveway situations, first completing a lot of the other non-sexy basics (Nav Waypoints, USB Media Player, etc.) to probably help a whole lot more owners would be my preference.

Hardly. He was quite clear at the Autopilot launch that there would be a feature where the car autonomously decided at the appropriate time (based on your calendar and traffic) to power up, open your garage door, reverse itself out, close the door again, and then wait for you, without you being present.
This latest addition is a great step forward but it's no more than the first 10% of the feature Elon envisioned, and it's still nothing that BMW/Lexus don't already have.

Went ahead and updated. The summoning gimmick is just too fun to pass up.
Works pretty well too.
Any IC UI updates/changes for non-AP cars?
I got the update notice today, but still holding out.

How about other UI updates even for AP cars? After a lot of complaints with the 7.0 release about the clock and weather information no longer being so convenient, I'm wondering if any improvements have been made.
