Summon Question

Do you know, or have experienced, if summon recognizes parking curbs ? I was about to try summon, but then decided not to, when I recognized there was a parking curb between me and my S

I certainly wouldn’t count on it. Be ready to stop the car at any time.

My experience is that it doesn't recognize low curbs very well.

I've noticed during Summon that my car backs up first if there's nothing behind it, presumably so that the cameras can see if there is an obstacle in the way, such as a parking curb in front of the wheels, before proceeding forwards. I haven't had any instances where it did not recognize and avoid a curb but I haven't experimented to see how low the curb can be. Perhaps this will be improved over time as the cars learn to recognize more and more subtle 3D objects. It's clear that the ultrasound sensors sense too high to see a normal curb and the forward facing cameras are blocked by the frunk.
