Straight to the point. No bullshit or fillers. 👍🏾
It would be nice when the car is out of sight it gives you access to all cameras to see the cars surroundings (as extra added safety)
And a speaker to yell through
@@VWorldWide Hahaha I can see it being used as a big roaming megaphone.
It's able to this already btw
Yep IT CAN. Already
@@VWorldWide that exists already
i think you need to remain 100% still.. every time you started walking, the car would stutter or stop.
Right!!!! It attempts to recompute eveytime you move
LMAO bro yes. Kinda pissed me off 💀
Yep, that's what I was saying. It was actively thinking and recalculating. However, it shouldn't have ever gotten into the other lane, but I like that it was extra cautious around the baby stroller.
No it has a system which could follow you while you walk
It might just be his network connection. When I summon mine it keeps moving even if I am walking around
The summon works great on a open lot with no traffic … it’s more like a feature to show what the car is capable off doing without a driver
Agreed it’s a show mode feature rather than a quick pick me up it’s raining 🌧️ outside
I have it also and have had similar experiences. It's a great party trick, but quite embarrassing when you need to go out in the middle of the land and rescue it :)
So true!
I have the same car. After watching your video, I’ll pass on using this feature. Thanks for making it.
Bought a used tesla and the summons feature was installed. I'm scared to death to try it out (my precious) 🤣
The trial period is 30 days go have some fun-just for the looky loos reactions
2:27 is a daily occurrence with summon lol
This video gave me anxiety 😂 I tried smart summon in a high traffic area as well, and I’ll NEVER do it again. Only in a low traffic area. I found regular summon a lot more useful
Even if it had good reviews I wouldn't be able to trust it. I don't have a far yet but wouldn't trust the car going on its own unless I'm inside
Not designed for high traffic areas-parking lots and empty surroundings
Another feature that hasn't progressed much since its launch, I will stick to basic AP (EAP isn't worth it)
If you've seen older videos you would see progress. Major progress. Autopilot is more confident with pulling out of parking spaces and more aware of it's surroundings so it's not constantly stopping for people walking by that are a cars length away. It's also more confident with stopping and turning and doesnt move at such a slow speed like it did back then. And this is an SUV. The Model 3 wasn't close to being as confident as the Model X is.
@@mannyislikethat Okay.
@@mannyislikethat honestly, if this is currently "majorly progressed", I have to ask... did the old version do its absolute best to try to crash into absolutely everything in any way possible? this is laughably bad, it could only be worse if it tried to actively crash into things as opposed to avoiding them.
@@user-xo2iw6lz2n he has the old model x
@@Superman-xr1oh wanna be account 🫵🤡
This was awesome. Thank you for taking the time to show the feature, man! :)
Ignoring the times the car has driven itself against a pole, smart summon is a pretty cool feature.
Smart Summon seems very expensive for the very limited use cases. With most crowded parking lots, there is so much chaos that I would think it would be incredibly difficult for the car to process everything that is going on around it. I really can't believe anyone would pay for this feature right now. Maybe Tesla should call it a charitable donation so at least you could write it off. I would be embarrassed to admit I wasted the money.
This function is VERY useful in case your car is got "stuck" and you can't even open the door to get inside the car. I saw a real story in Hong Kong how a Model S owner spend hours managed to move his car from a JAMMED space.... Life will be MUCH easier if this function is available at that time ;-)
I’ve done that test, i have a video how it refused to pull out
@@POGAuto Why were you very frustrated about it if you hadn’t even tried it yet?
@@POGAutothat’s what she said
I love this test for smart summons. I'm an owner of an app. Technology, can only be at it's best with customer feedback, use, and proper data. It can only get better with these experiences. Awesome job! I can't wait to try this feature.
I really hope it'll work in the future. I've had FSD on my Tesla for almost 3 years and it's a love/hate situation.
I love how you raise your voice everytime people walk by you so that they can hear that no one is driving the vehicle and show off lmao
It's the whole point of having it.
People need to stop making excuses for this $6000-$15000 feature that's far from ready. Way too dangerous to be out.
Just how in the fuck do you think it's supposed to improve without real world testing? And dangerous? According to what statistics? Compared to human drivers when fatalities occur? Might wanna look at the actual stats.
@@DescartesRenegade We have a 3 tesla household. Yes it's fucking dangerous based on my FACTS and experience when using FSD. As far as real world testing, FINE. JUST DON'T FUCKING charge $15k if it's still not ready.
@@DescartesRenegade ikr
As someone who owns a Tesla I’ll have to agree! I would NEVER use smart summon in public! EVER!!! The only reason I use the feature is to take the car out of my garage so I can lock my garage and house, but that’s it and even then I don’t take my eyes off of the car. The feature needs a lot of work!
Ill give you props, you did it there are ppl around.
Thank you for this demo ! I’ve been wondering how it works.
They’ve had smart summon out for almost 2 years now…and up until now it hasn’t improved one bit and I still don’t see it functional on a daily use. They should prioritize updating this function to be more efficient. Hopefully, before the end of next year.
I feel like new companies lien Nio are already overtaking Tesla with both quality and car tec. I have seen a ET5 consumer version at atonomous driving and it’s a lot more capable than Tesla. I feel like it took them just to much time altough there way initially ahead of time
My anxiety would be through the roof trying this.
and i thought, when i got remote start years ago, that it was all that… but this is amazing.
I can imagine how embarrassing it must feel when it behaves the way it did on your video but please keep using and keep in mind that Tedla continues to collect our data in situations like this to better improve.
Yeah that was kind of crazy but it's still a good feature to me though can't know of a car do no s*** like that other than that Kia but That's going reverse and forward which Tesla can also do I like the garage feature when it just go in the garage by itself
My biggest issue with Smart Summon is I don't think it has a reason for practical use . Normal Summon ( the one you use to get out of tight parking spaces) does have a practical use because that happens all the time. But Smart Summon I don't see having a need for it. If you think about it I think you're supposed to do it if it's raining or bad weather and you don't have to walk to the car. But if you have to have the car in view , most likely you have to be outside anyway to safely. So you're standing in the rain to observe the car coming. Which in the same amount of time you could have just walked to the car. Right now it just seems like it's a neat trick you can show people but that's all.
Yeah, I’m starting to notice that Teslas are the Samsung of the electric vehicles. A bunch of useless parlor tricks. Wish I had money for a lucid.
Here's our goal: with the windows obscured, observers can't tell if a person or the autopilot is driving. As a Tesla owner, I'm thinking it is ten years away. Really.
Have you driven with the newest fsd versions? Because it already is better than the average human driver. Yes you might still need to interdict every once in a while but in my opinion you already cant tell between human or AI.
@@pogospin984 Currently on 11.4.2 I have to intervene every drive.
@@pogospin984 well obviously its better then some humans. But since its more a off a in development feature it should be used in safe situations
@@pogospin984 Does it get you from point A to B while you take a nap? I know most people in the car don't have to worry when most people are driving.
I don't give a damn about self-driving features on the streets but this... this is pretty damn cool.
You never experienced fsd. Once you do, you'll change your comment
Cop to empty Tesla: "Sir do you know how fast you were going."?
I think it takes safety Into consideration . When there are a bunch of diffrent things going on it takes safety first I think that is what's going on. All the cars and people moving around.
I had FSD for a month by subscription and I tested the summon MANY times but it always did this 2:30
Always ended up running to the car and shoving in all the grocery in to get out of traffic asap
“This was embarrassing”.. lol! Yes it was
So scary 😧 thanks for sharing
We aren’t far off from Knight Rider “KITT, come pick me up!” “Right away, Michael.”
Has it gotten any better? Not sure I’d want to pay for or use this feature if this is how it works.
Try set the target come to target. Come to me doesnt work bc gps is sometimes confused
Has this feature improved with the new updates?
can it go to different floors?
Last few summons were pretty bad. It stopped in the middle of the lanes and gone on the opposite lane for the other one 🤔
What version is this?
Me: "Is that Calgary?"
*Fish creek library in the back*
.... Yep lol
Smart summon works great only when you're further away from the car great video by the way but it defeats the purpose of summon when you was just walking behind the car but as I said great video
Questions:
- what happens if you keep pressing the button and there's traffic in front of it?
- can you not just press the button once and just wait?
- have you tried using it in a make shift, dirt parking lot (e.g.: imagine you go out of town and there's just a makeshift parking lot with rows of cars and it's not really a road so it's not going to show up in Google Maps or something)
If there's traffic in front of it or if the cameras/sensors detect pedestrians walking across the lot, it will wait for them to clear then continue. As far as the button I think it just depends on what your trying to get it to do. On mine if I'm having it park in a tight spot, I have to hold the direction arrow ( forward or back ) and releasing it will stop the car. But if I hit the smart summon ( go to target, or come to me ) I only have to press it once and it does everything by itself without holding anything. I honestly think it also has to do with which software version of Autopilot/FSD you have, and the vehicles surroundings
Imagine if it goes berserk lol
No thanks
How far can the summon feature work?
Not bad, but feel it needs the full self driving software to be a little more effective. I am fearful to try it in a crowded area because of pissing people off or curbing a wheel =)
Fuck people
Or killing someone
Yes because you kept moving jeezus Christ bro 😂
The summon almost always fails in my driveway. I have a ramp at the end of my long driveway. I always like to back up the car all the way to the front of my vacation home so that I don't have to walk up the driveway. Yet, the back camera almost always treats the ramp as a wall behind the Model X and the Model X just stops and cannot go any further as I intent it to .... lol So much for camera-based autopilot and summon. I call it features with sure limitations. Luckily, I did not pay for the FSD, I bought my Model X as pre-owned from Tesla website and it came with FSD and it was already $18,000 cheaper than a brand-new one without the FSD.
Been playing with my smart summon on my model S and I got to say it's a little glitchy. Will probably just use regular summon to pull out of a parking space.
Is there a software update fix for it?
It crossed over the yellow line whereas it could HV gone a lil ahead and then took a left turn avoiding crossing over the yellow line
Beautiful car
yeah that is dangerous AF
I have fsd and it acts so intelligently when it’s driving but when I use summon it’s like it’s drunk lol.
It would be nice to summon a vehicle miles away to pick you up like an Uber.
Maybe the vehicle should just zero in on your cellphone or key signal. Perhaps in the future.
What really baffles me is the fact that our grandchildren will be laughing at us when they watch these videos and find out what we thought was cool back then😅.
Top tip: if you press the break when the door’s open it closes
That was SCARY!!!!!
Progress was definetely made. Smart Summon now compared to videos I've seen from 2-3 years ago, you can zee the diffrence. Autopilot is now more confident with backing up, it stops, and makes turns more confidentially as well rather than coming to complete stop cause someone passed behind it a Rolls-Royce length away.
Okay.
@@Superman-xr1oh some people just can't admit it sucks and doesn't work correctly
@@callmelarry7499 It's a cheap gimmick to be honest.
I have used this but I rather steer it from my phone
That’s a really cool feature but I think it should utilize more sensors and more cameras like radar, LiDAR and other sensors and it should have more controls like a radio controlled cars so you can keep out of traffic and pedestrians and low objects like sidewalks and curves with visual cameras on your phone so that you can see where you are going the, military can control drones why can’t we control our cars in the same way?
It follows your 📱 and is slow and does not take short cuts.
Can you imagine having to drive behind that ha ha ha
Yes, it really is terrifying to use. But you have to keep using it.
I think a mix of tesla vision and uss would be perfect...
Very very cool
Not sure how FSD will work if a simple summon doesn’t work. 😢 I haven’t tried it recently on my X, let me try it again if software has improved 😮
Funny thing is it won’t let you use FSF in the rain but they promote using smart summon to get the car in the rain lol
I have done a video in rain as well
don't know why but whhy the windows down when its raining ? amazing video!!!
Maybe foggy windows with the rain?
So people can see nobody is at the wheel
why do you keep walking away from it?
Does this work on 2023 vehicles without the Old sensors
I believe no at this time, consider checking the Tesla website for more information
So badass
How many damm Teslas this guy own?lol Every time I try to watch a video about Tesla, I see him with a different model.
Probably rented
Not a rental 🙄
This was nerve wracking to watch.
I could never trust a car to do anything on its own.
Not highway assist, not auto braking. NOTHING.
I can't imagine taking my hands off the wheel 😱
They should have it to where the cameras display on your phone, the surroundings
Yeah and let you drive it like an RC car, while still having the sensors prevent it from hitting other vehicles.
@@kingzach74 no rules when you a Boss you play how you like 😉
The Smart Summon has never work with me. It always stops in the middle of road and blocks the street and I need to run and get it.
.... why do you even need this function? To feel like batman?
Video was okay. Ideal would be to stand in one spot and summon the car. The constant moving made no sense.
WOW that's the reason i want the tesla
Whole idea of self driving is good, I subscribe for it a week ago to test out $209 per month cancel after 5 days, what are bullshit. And now don’t know why my autopilot and cruz control stop working, schedule appointment for December 13 to fix it. Unbelievable shit
Man I hope they get this figured out lol
If the car was using FSD it’d be much more confident and reliable. Idk why Summon hasn’t taken advantage of FSD
Yeah
I wasted 6k on this feature too. It worked good in 2019 but since they went to tesla vision it’s unusable. My car backed over a curb when all it had to do was drive forward 100 feet. Sad. Tesla claims it’s in beta but can’t figure why it’s not working
Imagine when the smart summon is finally refined, the price will be more than $6K.
Still work to do.
70% of the god damn time it errors out when I try summon. Either there's no connection or it says bad connection.
i find it super annoying, while it works well when no one is around... people walking always walk up in front of the car to see why theres no driver.. stopping the car, then wondering why the car is in the way and not moving....
Why not a full remote control from the mobile activating some cameras then you can see the road and everything!!
Why do you have the windows down in the rain
Probably to show people that nobody is inside.
I think the rain reflections were messing with it the behavior of the car almost looked way too cautious
Be extremely carefully on Teslas. I just heard a case that my friend parked his Tesla on the curside in a neighborhood. After leaving the car, it pulled itself and crashed in to the house at the end of the court. The car was totaled and he has to pay the damage to the house. Image that you are the owner of the house.
It was Hacked then
The insurance would pay for that if it was true, and since you say he has to pay that means you are lying
Very cool. I wish I could afford one. I am currently driving a 2009 Nissan Versa which I bought with 100,000 miles on the odometer and it was in fantastic condition. It runs like new still and I’ve only had to do basic maintenance plus an exhaust repair. I bought it for $650. I’ve priced the Tesla’s that I’d like. Realistically, I’d have to spend somewhere between $30-50k to get a used Tesla with the features specs mileage condition that I want. So it’s going to cost me at least $29,350 more than what I spent on my little Nissan. Lol. I can’t complain about my Nissan. I got the deal of a lifetime on it and it drives very comfortably. Gas doesn’t cost me much. Repairs and maintenance for that vehicle is quite affordable. But it has zero options. Not even power locks or windows. And if I get in a crash, I’ll probably die. A Tesla would be infinitely more safe. I’ve been watching videos like these to see if the auto pilot or the full self drive modes are really worth the extra money. Does anybody know if I can upgrade to FSD AFTER I buy the car? Or does it have to come from the factory with that option installed?
With my tesla you can pay the current price and upgrade to fsd
is smart summon available to all FSD users.. I don't see that option.
Only some models support it. If your Tesla is older than 2016 or newer than 2022 it isn't available.
@@kingzach74 thanks
Thanks for the review. The summon doesnt work well!
Use it only when there’s no traffic behind or people be pissed.
does every tesla have this?
You have to hold the button?
Yeah to me that is incredibly stupid. Why can't you just press it once like an Uber or Lyft. That would be the future, not holding it down.
Although that being said...It does give you control of the vehicle instead of letting the vehicle be in control of you, while at the same time making sure Tesla isn't liable.
worlds biggest rc car lol
What happens if the car gets into accident or hit someone? Who’s responsible?
You are. But you can probably take Tesla to court. Failure of summon feature. But tbh you need these failures to collect data and improve. There is no such thing in life of just being successful with no trials or tribulations.
Boy you kept moving lol it probably was confused
Yes because it relies on Bluetooth and your location to be on so it has to keep recalibrating your fixed position and the environment around it so it doesnt hit anything. If you keep moving its gonna keep recalibrating
What if you don't have sufficient charge on your mobile phone?
Then you can’t use it, you are allowed to think before asking questions you know
I'll pass on the feature I feel like its going crash I know it has camera but its on the wrong side of the road I think it need somewhat in proving.
