AutoExec Summary
Tesla’s latest autonomous driving software update, Smart Summon, has received backlash from owners after their cars experienced issues such as running into garage doors and almost colliding with other vehicles. The feature is designed to drive the car up to 60 meters through a carpark to meet the owner, but owners have complained about its difficulty in recognizing complex driving environments. The technology’s release has raised concerns about lawsuits and safety, and some owners have posted videos of testing the car’s reflexes by running in front of it. Safety experts criticize Tesla’s approach to self-driving and argue that the technology shouldn’t be released until it’s foolproof.
