Tesla Is Finally Updating Its Autopark Feature by The End of This Month

Elon Musk has just announced on Twitter that the Autopilot/AI team at Tesla will be working on Tesla's Smart Summon and Autopark features, as well as its humanoid robot, Optimus.

Autopilot is widely used by many Tesla owners worldwide while Autopark and Smart Summon are much lesser-used, due to being "too slow" or "won't detect a parking spot," among other issues. As more car manufacturers are making their own "autopark" systems, many parking features that Autopark lacks such as 360 camera view and better angling for parking are on the road right now. In order to compete with this, Tesla is eager to update their own Autopark system, and it is promising to know that there is a hard deadline for an update by the end of this month. Autopark would certainly be useful for tasks such as backing into parking spaces at Superchargers, and if Tesla has been focusing on it as much as they have on FSD Beta, it may change significantly how many owners decide to use it regularly.

Tesla's AI Day 2022 is at the end of this month, so the new Autopark, Smart Summon, and Tesla Bot progress/features will most likely be announced then.

The standard Elon playbook.
Fail to deliver something then start talking about something else new and interesting ...

This really is his M.O...in no particular order:
Complaints galore about the yoke, especially the stupid decision to remove ability to activate horn via airbag: "we will restore that functionality with OTA update" (Then of course, nothing)

Media starts to come down on Twitter and it was the misdirect of "Fauci felony related files are coming soon!" (media misdirection, then of course, nothing ever comes of his claims).

"$15k isnt much for FSD when you factor in value of what you will get from Robotaxi service" (Robotaxi gets lots of media attention and lots of FSD takers, then...silence from Elon and he hasnt uttered a word about robotaxi in months)

"We will build tens of thousands of covid ventilators out of car parts" (purchased Ventilators instead, and were the wrong kind)

The list goes on and on...

For what it’s worth, that looked pretty smooth.

Funny / not funny how he pulls exactly the same kind of scam over and over again, and we all keep falling for it. (sigh)
