YES!!! Heck I wasn't there and I was urging the driver of that black SUV to just ram that Tesla.....talk about causing hate and discontent for a brand....

In that vein - I could turn the light switches manually in my house but I converted them all to smart switches now - but that doesn't make lazy.
It's made me more productive & safe: lights on with hands full & lights on when motion is sensed.
Given that there are many more use cases opening up vs. old predefined ones, I am sure Elon & team has got a bunch that you haven't thought about in their algorithm.
Previously I've complained about the slow speed of the Tesla when being summoned, but many of the other passing cars slow to similar speeds as they search in vain for a driver behind the wheel.
The "slowness" is not any slower vs. what a careful driver would do to traverse in a crowded parking lot - with cross traffic, pedestrians & sudden blind spot movements.
I mean as a coder myself, I can see where the car's computer is literally processing the data it is seeing.
No different than what a newer driver would be doing.
Compared to the empty lot summon videos from 2 months ago - this is a big step forward.

Not summons, that's used for court.
You missed my point. I have smart switches too but if they were ten times as slow to switch on as reach out a hand I wouldn't bother using them. They're not - with Alexa it's faster than going to the switch(es).
Really?? A loooong way to go?
Name one other vehicle capable of doing this? Even Tesla's a few months ago couldn't.
I think it's a lot closer than you may believe
Actually - I did get your point.
You insist on speed.
But you left out all the variables that can hinder that speed. (that video had plenty of obstacles even for humans).
So in short, you say speed - but meant if there were no caveats.
Just like using Alexa is frictionless -if your network has no issues - which in regards to WiFi (radio signals) could be flaky.
I alluded to convenience & other use case possibilities without any allowances for speed.
My point is that - speed is not important if requiring optimal conditions & judged in a vacuum.
vs. my POV: you can still be productive other ways so that would make up for any perceived speed deficiency.
Maybe other manufacturers are just waiting until the tech is ready for prime time? And what exactly is useful about this in its current state? I guess it's a neat trick to show off but imagine how frustrated everyone else in the parking lot must be if they have to deal with people using this. It's similar to how AP performs in stop/go traffic. It takes WAY too long to react and start moving forward. I'm not saying they won't get better but they have a very long way to go as I've stated. I've seen nothing to suggest that Tesla is even remotely close to FSD.

That is both very cool and completely unacceptable to use in a crowded lot. I'm sure it will improve with time.
Indeed. Still weeping for humanity 6 years later!
That's Not How You Use That: Shooting Video in Portrait Mode
2019. Self driving cars, and people that don't know how to use cameras.
What a world.
What a world.
