I'm not trying to take this to extremes, but my first thought reading this, especially the part about it not necessarily detecting objects close to the ground, is how long will it be before a Tesla in summon mode runs over a kid playing in the driveway? It doesn't seem inconceivable, and you would think it should be literally inconceivable that something like that could happen before releasing the feature. If it was a critical safety feature that could have a deadly side effect - like an airbag - that's a different thing entirely. But a convenience feature more akin to comfort locks should be held to a higher standard of safety.
It's a similar situation to determining what side effects are acceptable in medication. If it cures a deadly disease, serious side effects including chance of death are acceptable. If it's a cure for, say, male pattern baldness, that level of risk would obviously be unacceptable.
