On Feb. 21, a Reddit user said Tesla was testing a "reverse summon" feature that would allow Tesla cars to automatically park in designated parking spaces. The Reddit user is said to be an acquaintance of an internal Tesla employee, and the authenticity of the news may be relatively high.
Xiao Lei learned that "reverse summoning" is part of the automatic driving FSD service package, before the "smart summoning" is to let Tesla cars automatically drive to the location where the owner is, and the so-called "reverse summoning" is to issue instructions to the vehicle to park at the designated location, this function is suitable for many small partners who hate parking.
It should be known that parking is not easy for those of us who are new to driving, and the parking learned by the driving test is based on the ideal situation, but there is no reference line in reality, and the width of the parking space is narrow, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of reversing into the garage, for this reason, many mengxin who have just got a driver's license are also calling "too difficult".
If the "reverse summoning" is put into use, Xiao Lei thinks that this will be a very practical auxiliary function, and we can imagine that if it is raining heavily, the parking lot is far from the door of the house, and the road will definitely be wet by the rain and make a mess. With the "reverse summoning" function, we can first park the car in front of the door, get off the car and then let the car park itself in the corresponding parking space, which is convenient and saves the effort of parking.
According to the exposed news, "reverse summoning" has three functions, such as commanding the car to stop "closest to the door", "near the shopping cart recycling place" or "the end of the parking lot", etc., and the driver does not need to be in the car to activate, compared to the driver in the car can activate the Autopark is more flexible.
For this practical new feature, Musk also added that the "reverse summon" can also read the sign of the parking instruction to confirm whether the vehicle is parked in the correct parking lot location, avoiding the embarrassment of "eating the ticket". In addition, he also said that if the test is smooth, this function will be officially installed next year, but domestic users will need to wait for a while.
It has to be said that the new move of Tesla FSD effectively alleviates the problem of "parking difficulty", provides a more convenient parking method for the majority of Tesla owners, and with the "smart summoning", the owner does not even need to enter the parking lot, and the car can complete all the start and stop actions. Xiao Lei believes that domestic new energy vehicle companies can also learn this function and strive to catch up with Tesla in terms of intelligence.
