Tesla to automate car parking with Summon feature

There will come a day when your car will be parking itself in your garage, at least Tesla’s cars can do that in the immediate future. The company released a new version of its software for the Model S and Model X. The version 7.1 of the software introduces a new Summon feature, which allows these cars to enter and exit parking spaces on their own. All you need to do is click on a button on the key fob to activate Summon. The Tesla then gets into enter or exit mode for garages and perpendicular parking spaces. For the garage, this uses Homelink garage door tool and it has to be on flat surfaces. The feature, though, is currently in beta but it could work in conjunction with Tesla’s other technologies in the future.
