According to a survey released by Bloomberg, the majority of Tesla Model 3 owners believe Autopilot makes them safer. The survey includes responses from 5,000 owners. Although the overall sense is that the software improves safety, there were instances when drivers were unhappy with how it operated. Self-driving technologies are trickling down into more cars every model year. Tesla hasn't shied away from rolling them out across its lineup.

The world is currently discussing if artificial systems are good or bad, will help us or destroy us, and if they will ever function or not, and by doing that people make the mistake of actually trying to answer the wrong question. As of today, the biggest question about artificial intelligence is not the system itself, but the biggest challenge is the interface consequences between the human and the machine, or to be more precise the system existent out of two elements -- a carbon and a silicon body. We all have learned in our life how difficult, dangerous, or even fatal the coordination, cooperation, and operation between these two objects -- the human and a machine -- can be, and some of us may have been hurt by it or even worse. At least I can say I have been many times, and if you read the news today you will certainly find many other examples. This has been true since humans invented the first machines moved by any energy form, be it animals, steam, or oil, and it is true for the new era we are entering -- a time when software-driven artificial intelligence performs better in defined areas than a human will ever be.

Since Tesla rolled out the Smart Summon, a feature that enables Model 3 owners to "summon" their car remotely, the technology has been subject to much testing. The limited self-driving technology has seen hundreds of thousands of tests, and many users have published their experience. The results have been mixed, with the mistakes receiving more highlights than the successful performances. Smart Summon is one several technologies that aims to eventually transform Tesla cars into full self-driving vehicles. Tesla activated it for the owners of the Model 3 who had paid a $6,000 upfront fee at the end of September.

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.

A new feature for Tesla cars that allows drivers to remotely summon their parked autos is drawing scrutiny from government regulators after reports of malfunctioning software. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in a statement issued Wednesday, said that is aware of the reports that "Smart Summon" does not always work as promised and is in ongoing contact with the company. But the agency did not open a formal investigation.

Elon Musk has been ridiculed for claiming he's on the brink of perfecting a fleet of self-driving taxis after Tesla owners reported that their cars crash on summon mode. The CEO of Tesla says that the fleet will be ready by the end of next year, but that has been called into question after the release of Tesla's Smart Summon technology. Raj Rajkumar, from Carnegie Mellon University, says that the California company's new feature is'far from perfection' and he can'only laugh' at Musk's timeline. Many Tesla owners using the summon function, which calls their car to them without anyone in, have experienced several close calls and nasty fender benders. The release of Tesla's Smart Summon technology has CEO Elon Musk promising a fleet of self-driving taxis by the end of next year.

Tesla unleashed the latest twist in driverless car technology last week, raising more questions about whether autonomous vehicles are outracing public officials and safety regulators. The Palo Alto electric car company on Sept. 26 beamed a software feature called Smart Summon to Tesla owners who prepaid for it. Using a smartphone, a person can now command a Tesla to turn itself on, back out of its parking space and drive to the smartphone holder's location -- say, at the curb in front of a Costco store. The car relies on onboard sensors and computers to help it move forward, back up, steer, accelerate and decelerate on its own, braking if it detects people, other vehicles or stationary objects in its path. The "driver" must keep a finger or thumb on the smartphone screen or the car will stop.

That's because Tesla has created "the best chip in the world." Yes, the car is moving with no one inside. But we'll forgive you if you're a little unnerved at first. Tesla owners have flooded social media with videos depicting the newest feature of their cars: the ability to use their phones to tell their cars to drive themselves from parking spots to the curb, where the owner is standing. Called "Smart Summon," the feature is part of Tesla's 10.0 software update, which is delivered wirelessly.
