It's just a really bad parking lot design.
Regardless, Smart Summon doesn't currently care about things like directionality in a parking lot. This version doesn't try to do anything fancy like reading markings on the pavement.
The app will show you on a satellite map the route that the car is planning to go, assuming this release follows what was shown in the early access releases.
As the person supervising its behavior, it's currently solely your responsibility to make sure that the car doesn't cause problems for other people. The car will do its best to avoid hitting anyone or anything while still making it to your location, but you're still the one in charge.
Smart summon currently works via a dead man's switch. You have to hold down a button the entire time, and if you let go of the button for any reason, the car immediately stops.
The long-term goal is that supervision won't always be necessary, of course, but this feature is available now -- with supervision. If you see an opportunity to use it, it's there. It will get better. I've personally watched Autopilot grow up from something barely usable as a driver assistance technology to something that works extremely well for every day usage.
- killjoywashere 7y agoone bit per frame for 20+ sensors. That is some weak supervision.
- fireattack 7y agoSo if you want to park head-in (like most of the car in the vid and on Google Maps) you have to go the wrong way temporarily?
- benj111 7y ago"This version doesn't try to do anything fancy like reading markings on the pavement" Isnt that below minimum viable product for something expected to be used with other people around? "As the person supervising its behavior" I'm sure Uber said the same thing to the drivers on its self driving program. We all know human nature though, it isn't right to abdicate responsibility to someone you know is going to start blindly trusting your 'good enough' system. As a non Tesla owner, I don't want to be an inadvertent beta tester for these technologies.
- theshrike79 7y agoYou'd be surprised how many actual human beings can't read the markings on the pavement :D
- chris11 7y ago> As a non Tesla owner, I don't want to be an inadvertent beta tester for these technologies. Yeah, that's my one major concern with Tesla autopilot. I don't like the difference in their advertising and autopilot's actual capability.
