 with New Update, Showcasing Improved Navigation Abilities - EconoTimes)
Tesla has relaunched its "Actually Smart Summon" (ASS) feature, now with improved precision and navigation, enabling vehicles to navigate complex routes like roundabouts with ease. This comes as part of Tesla's latest software update, marking a significant enhancement in its autonomous driving capabilities.
Tesla’s New Update Revives 'Actually Smart Summon'
Last night, Tesla brought back "Actually Smart Summon," a capability that had been removed when the firm shifted to a Vision-only strategy a few years ago. The updated "Actually Smart Summon" is very similar to the original "Smart Summon."
As the vehicles are now using the updated Summon form, Teslarati reports that owners are now taking ASS for a drive.
Model Y Completes Roundabout Navigation with Precision
As a Model Y drove through a roundabout and collected its owner on the other side, one owner demonstrated the enhanced precision of a vehicle's navigation on Summon:
The vehicle handles the roundabout with apparent ease, and while it is slow and careful, it does what it sets out to achieve without any real problems.
Busy Parking Lot Could Be the Real Challenge for ASS
The next real test will be to place Summon in a busy parking lot, where people's responses to a "driverless car" will be fascinating to see.
Tesla has launched "Actually Smart Summon" together with the new 2024.27.20 software update and included the following in the release notes:
Buckle up for the ride of your life, except, surprise! You’re not in the car. ASS (Actually Smart Summon) allows your vehicle to come to you, or head to a spot that you choose, all on its own. It’s like magic, but with more tech and less wand-waving.
Additionally, Dumb Summon allows you to move your Tesla forward or back with simple controls directly in your mobile app.
To use, open your Tesla app, hit the Summon tab, and get a live feed from your car’s cameras to guide your supervision.
– COME TO ME: Press and hold to have your Tesla come to you.
– GO TO TARGET: Set where you want your Tesla to go, then press and hold to send it on its merry way.
You can halt your journey anytime by just letting go of the button. See your Owner’s Manual for additional details.
ASS and Dumb Summon should only be used in parking lots or driveways. Keep an eye on your car and its surroundings at all times. Stay vigilant, especially around the fast and the furious (people, bikes, and other cars). You are still responsible for your vehicle, so watch as it drives and stop it if necessary.
