Tesla Demonstrates Autonomous Model 3 in Costco Car Park
Tesla's Autonomous Driving Technology Advances with "Actually Smart Summon"
Tesla, the pioneering electric vehicle manufacturer, is pushing the boundaries of autonomous driving technology with its latest feature, "Actually Smart Summon" (ASS). This innovative technology, which is part of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, offers a glimpse into a future where cars may pick up or head to a spot on their own.
In a recent test conducted in a Costco parking lot, Tesla demonstrated the capabilities of ASS without a driver in the vehicle. The demo, recorded from a drone and a camera view inside a Model 3, showed the car navigating the parking lot with impressive precision.
With ASS, users can set a specific spot in the app, and the car will drive there on its own. This feature, known as "Go to Target," offers a level of autonomy that surpasses Tesla's previous offering, "Dumb Summon," which allows simple control of the car for forward and backward movement.
Another notable feature of ASS is "Come to Me." By pressing and holding a button in the app, users can have their Tesla drive to them. Both "Actually Smart Summon" and "Dumb Summon" are designed for low-speed areas like parking lots.
Tesla's engineering teams, led by key figures like CEO Elon Musk, Jim Keller, and Pete Bannon, have played a significant role in the development of the AI chips and neural networks powering ASS. This technology is also set to be a part of Tesla's upcoming Cybercab and Robotaxi service.
While ASS offers a high level of autonomy, users are still required to monitor the car through a live feed on the app. They can also stop the vehicle at any time by releasing the button.
Recent improvements to Tesla's ASS include camera adjustments and enhancements in collision detection. These updates, along with future ones that will include garage integration and simplified controls, promise to make Tesla's autonomous driving technology even more accessible and user-friendly.
The YouTube Short providing a glimpse of Tesla's ongoing development in autonomous driving technology has generated significant interest and excitement among Tesla enthusiasts and the general public alike. As Tesla continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with autonomous driving, we can look forward to exciting advancements in the near future.
