My understanding is that smart summon operates on a completely different set of rules than navigate on city streets, even though they might share some common functionality, like object detection and mapping.
The marketing text for Summon literally says "Your car comes to you while you deal with a fussy child".
Disclaimer: do not use while distracted (like by a fussy child, for example) and always pay attention.
It's understandable why it may not be designed to check that situation, as it is not one you'd normally find in a parking lot (unless maybe a parking lot full of semi trailers).
Tesla is going to do more harm to the prospects of self-driving cars than anyone. Their "test in production" attitude is going to not only cost (more) lives but also force the government to strictly regulate the tech delaying the other companies that are acting responsibly.
Sounds pretty similar to the accidents involving trailers, where the top of the cars were sheared off because it didn't detect anything there.
> Neither Brown nor the car braked for a tractor-trailer, which had turned left in front of the Tesla and was crossing its path. Brown’s Tesla also went beneath the trailer and its roof was sheared off. After that crash Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company made changes in its system so radar would play more of a role in detecting objects.
They got rid of radar, so I wonder if that's made it again more difficult to detect these scenarios.
It seems like nothing irreplaceable (like human life or health) was lost or even at risk in this case.
Oh, whoops, our FSD car hit a deer. The driver should've been prepared to stop the car.
Well of course, but when a Volvo with last generation technology can safely stop the car, that's not an excuse.
