Tesla to Launch a Smart Summon Feature - Musk Says

Elon Musk disclosed that an improved version of the Tesla Summon, known as the Tesla "Smart Summon," will soon be available to all Model Y users worldwide. Additionally, the new feature is a component of the car's self-driving system that would let customers use GPS to tell the car to start and head in the direction of their destination. And even though Tesla has improved the feature, it is about to receive improvements that will enhance the Summon experience for EV owners. Furthermore, Tesla supporters are dubbing the electric car's Summon feature a "life hack" because it offers users so many useful features for whatever they need the car for when they summon it.  For instance, you can ask it to deliver items closer rather than making the user walk a long distance when it is already parked in the garage and the user needs to take out the groceries. Moreover, Elon Musk claimed that despite these cutting-edge features, the Smart Summon feature is "almost done," and the improved Tesla Summon is what enhances the experience. Besides, the Tesla team was working on an improvement for the Tesla Summon, but neither Musk nor the team made much of it. Nevertheless, the functionality will soon be available to all Summon users.

New features and an upgrade for Summon

Tesla's Smart Summon is an improvement above what customers already have, and it will give everyone a fresh experience. Smart Summon allows customers to select certain areas and pin them on the map for the car to drive to upon command instead of having to use the user's smartphone GPS location when calling for the EV.

Tesla's Autonomous Driving Technology

Tesla is famous for including cutting-edge technology as standard equipment when buying its electric vehicles. The company then refreshes the system via over-the-air updates or through its dealerships. Additionally, Tesla previously unveiled the most recent developments for its software that incorporates artificial intelligence besides its Optimus bot at AI Day 2022. Tesla's EVs also rely heavily on autonomous driving capabilities, which offer a novel driving experience without the need for human interaction. On another note, the Full-Self Driving Beta and the well-known Tesla Summon feature are a few of Tesla's self-driving capabilities. The Summon is a useful tool for people who want their car to be waiting for them at the curb as they leave the house, ready to drive out of the garage or runway, and controlled simply by their smartphones.

Note, Autopilot/AI team is also working on Optimus and (actually smart) summon/autopark, which have end of month deadlines

Fortunately, the function will soon receive an upgrade thanks to the Smart Summon, especially the one that lets users summon their electric vehicles and specify where they want them to be. Previously, the Summon could only travel to the smartphone user's current position using GPS, but now it may go anywhere they specify.
