Aside from the gimmicky "summon mode", what remote control are you talking about?
- oriel 2y agoSimply being always-online and sending telemetry, doesnt preclude the ability to remotely intercede in the car's operations. I think there's precedent with the OnStar system in other cars, and there has anecdotally been evidence of various systems being operable by some kind of admin terminal. I think "summon mode" is actually a great demonstration of how you can remotely access and do some form of piloting the car without a driver. There's also the disabling of features remotely on resale, and probably other examples.

Even then you can always install an update that allows remote control.
