Tesla comes when called, but can fray nerves
Roddie Hasan loves his Tesla, but after a fright using a feature that lets him summon the car as he might a dog, he says he will be walking to get it. The electric vehicle maker, a contender in the technology race to fully self-driving cars, last month issued a software update that included a "Smart Summon" feature for having Teslas go to owners instead of the other way around. A smartphone app acts as a remote control, and Tesla advised owners to keep their cars in sight the whole time. Stepping from a pizzeria into a quiet parking lot, Hasan decided to "summon" his Tesla Model 3. He watched as the car eased out of its stall and headed in his direction.
