Soday 1 with V10 Smart Summon was working beautifully. But someone didn’t notice my M3 and made a front bumper damage. We will claim our insurances but who’s fault do you guys think it’ll be ? Should I present this videos ? @teslaownersSV @Model3Owners @LikeTeslaKim @TesLatino pic.twitter.com/fhSA78oD6C

#EnhancedSummon failed.. drove into the parking structure pole. What's really frustrating is there's no clear channel to report incidents like this to @Tesla. I don't want to spend 40+ min on the phone just to report. Chat agent seems to be impossible to connect. #Model3 pic.twitter.com/1W5IUUh0Hp

@Tesla @elonmusk I think enhanced summon may have some bugs still, but so excited to have this remote control car! pic.twitter.com/niNQflI99N

I love my #Tesla Model 3 but the advanced summon might not be ready for prime time. More likely, I don’t know what the heck I’m doing. #teslasummonissues pic.twitter.com/57WABn62RQ

Holy S. FFS. I was straight up laughing for the first minute or so of this one. Stock should be down 50 this AM. This is just embarrassing. $TSLA https://t.co/LxlsrQoQw1

Be forewarned @Tesla @elonmusk Enhanced summon isn’t safe or production ready. Tried in my empty drive way. Car went forward and ran into the side of garage. Love the car but saddened. #Tesla #TeslaModel3 pic.twitter.com/tRZ88DmXAW

What's worse then Tesla Enhanced Summon in daylight?
If you guessed at night, well, you'd be right.
Smooth as broken glass, she is. Now picture this feature in a crowded holiday parking lot. #ComingSoon #TeslaEntitlement $TSLA $TSLAQ #TheSociopathicBusinessModel #FraudFormula pic.twitter.com/p9oa2BGnnm— KillingMyCareer (@MelaynaLokosky) September 28, 2019
Looks like Tesla CEO Elon Musk isn't the only one who likes white lines:

Another Shocker From China’s ‘Tesla Killer’
Chinese electric vehicle maker NIO is losing money on every car it sells and will soon need to raise more cash
Well,I really think AI replacing human drivers is still a few decades away (how can you program intuition?). I am more concerned about the idiots who want to kill the oil industry.
I have been looking for an expose’ that goes something like this:
“Think your Tesla frees you from oil? Think again. Here is a list of all the component parts of your Tesla made from oil:”
The following list would include everything from the insulation on the electrical wiring to the material used to pad the seats. I suspect the list would be quite lengthy. The summary sentence would be, “You may not need the oil for gasoline, but you need it for virtually everything else. Civilization depends on oil.
(note: I know that fossil fuels were used from mining to delivery, but the argument would be made that some miracle renewable could solve that. Substitutions for products derived from oil would present a far more difficult problem.)
If I could post info like that it may open a lot of eyes. Has anyone seen anything like what I’ve described?
I would like to see a test of 50 Tesla’s in a busy parking garage, with all owners trying to summon at once. It would take 12 hours for the last idiot owner to get his car i would bet, and it would have too many dings from ‘regular’ people with tire irons taking swings at Tesla’s.
Tesla is a joke.
So what happens when Smart Summons doesn’t see that person???
There would be a great business opportunity in Tesla repair work but I don’t think the volume will be there and besides it’s a throwaway society thing of the rich anyway.
Best way to avoid car crashes ?
Just assume everyone is gonna do something stupid, and avoid them 🙂
Experience really, really helps !!
Guns kill people but AVs do not. It all depends on what side of populism you play and what ad consultants you employ.
Could AVs be used to rob a bank and get away with it? I think I know what the Tesla owners would say.
Big, dangerous toys for little boys and girls.
Just grow up and walk to the car!
Doesn’t Elon Musk warn us about the dangers of AI?
Is that because his cars are so stupid?
(I’ve resisted the temptation to say he was referring to certain members of the House of Representatives.)
“Before we work on artificial intelligence, why don’t we do something about natural stupidity?”
– Steve Polyak
How on earth are these half-assed toys allowed on public roads?
EVs are not the sinecure that their manufacturers hoped for. Cue Hans Christian Andersen tale about the emperor’s new clothes.

Self-driving cars without a human driver are just too dangerous to be trusted. They would most likely cause many more accidents per mile driven than even the most reckless of human drivers, whose licenses can be suspended after too many accidents, while what happens to reckless robots?
There are far too many obstacles on busy roads that a robot cannot be depended on to avoid. For example, what about an intersection where a STOP sign has been partially obscured by vegetation? A human driver who knows the intersection (or has been there in winter) will stop, but what if the robot doesn’t detect the stop sign and blasts straight through into traffic?
Or what about an intersection with traffic lights? Can a robot distinguish between the traffic light for a left-turn lane and the light to go straight through the intersection? Or what if the sun is directly behind the traffic light? A human driver will lower the sun visor to try to make out the color of the traffic light, and/or will check whether cross traffic is stopped, but could a robot detect the relatively weak colored light from the traffic light in the much brighter light from the sun, which includes light in the red, yellow, and green wavelengths?
