You\u2019re not in the car. ASS (Actually Smart Summon) allows your vehicle to come to you, or head to a spot that you choose, all on its own. It\u2019s like magic, but with more tech and less wand-waving.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Dumb Summon allows you to move your Tesla forward or back with simple controls directly in your mobile app.<\/p>\n<p>To use, open your Tesla app, hit the Summon tab, and get a live feed from your car\u2019s cameras to guide your supervision.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 COME TO ME: Press and hold to have your Tesla come to you.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 GO TO TARGET: Set where you want your Tesla to go, then press and hold to send it on its merry way.<\/p>\n<p>You can halt your journey anytime by just letting go of the button. See your Owner\u2019s Manual for additional details.<\/p>\n<p>ASS and Dumb Summon should only be used in parking lots or driveways. Keep an eye on your car and its surroundings at all times. Stay vigilant, especially around the fast and the furious (people, bikes, and other cars). You are still responsible for your vehicle, so watch as it drives and stop it if necessary.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Tesla also notes that it aims to add integration with HomeLink &amp; myQ, which control garage doors. The automaker also wants to increase the distance it can travel without driver and remove the need to hold the button.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe id=\"post-youtube-video-1\" title=\"Tesla ASS (Actually Smart Summon) Roundabout Test\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wmZ7oHzRfvk?feature=oembed&amp;rel=0&amp;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-electrek-s-take\">Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n<p>It is fairly wild that the driver still has the responsibility even though they are not even in the car, and their only input capacity is letting go of a button that should stop the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, actually smart summon is an important step toward Tesla delivering on its long-time promise of self-driving as vehicles will need to navigate parking lots autonomously to be able to pick up riders.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-disclaimer-container\" readability=\"6.3518518518519\">\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\"><em>FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/about\/#affiliate\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- post ad --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla has finally launched \u2018actually smart summon\u2019 or \u2018ass\u2019, an automated driver assist feature that was supposed to come two years ago.
