What if the phone erroneously detected an action? AKA a pocket summon. Is the phone manufacturer liable in that case?

- sslayer 7y agoWould the car endlessly follow the person around the mall? Is there a timeout? Seems like after x minutes it should self park and update the app.

- hughes 7y agoTo get a sense of what would be required to "pocket summon" the car, you'd have to: - pocket unlock phone - pocket open tesla app - pocket scroll down to Summon - pocket click Summon - pocket select "Smart Summon" from within the Summon screen - pocket click the target button on the map - pocket hold down the "come to me" button continuously All this while being within 200ft of the car.
- gruez 7y ago"pocket summon" probably isn't the most likely scenario. A more likely one is using pocket summon while in the rain, and water on the touchscreen causing the summon button to remain pressed even after the finger's lifted.
- rosybox 7y agoThis can totally happen. You might have already had the summon view up and targeted already, ready to leave, when your friend mentions something to you and you just stick your phone in your pocket.
- hughes 7y agoThat's actually a good point. Even if the tesla app reverts to its default state when the phone is locked, one might pocket their unlocked phone while "come to me" is shown.
- Koremat6666 7y agoI was excited for this feature after playing Batman Arkham Knight game. Batman can summon is Batmobile while jumping over the rooftops and jump right into the drivers seat.
- iamaelephant 7y agoIt's a one in a million chance. However there are now millions of Tesla/phone pairs on the market so one in a million translates to inevitability.
- dkonofalski 7y agoThis is not possible. You have to hold down the summon button in order for this to work.
