Just to be clear, Tesla says that the person doing the summoning should be able to see the car at all times and be able to force a stop if necessary when using Summon. At least this was the case the last time I used it. I’m not necessarily giving a pass to Tesla here, but it doesn’t seem reasonable to throw all the blame on a manufacturer when a user doesn’t follow directions and misuses a function. A debate could be had about whether functions should be allowed if a certain (high?) percentage of users will abuse it, but that’s a tricky discussion imho. Almost all of the public examples I’ve seen of Autopilot or Summon being unsafe were when people were misusing it. There are definitely examples when these functions don’t work (there’s one spot near me when my car makes the wrong choice consistently), but it’s trivial to correct if one is paying attention like you’re supposed to.
