Tesla Introduces Summon with Updated Autopilot Driving System

Just months after the release of its Autopilot driving system in model X, Tesla has updated its software, bringing additional features.

The software update released with Version 7.0 software has added new features to the Autopilot functionality and introduces the first version of Summon.

The ' Summon' feature will prompt the garage door to open and it will automatically park itself within the garage, and similarly it will open the garage door and come to greet the driver when needed.

According to Tesla, Summon eliminates the burden of having to squeeze in and out of tight parking spots.

The company said that it eventually will be able to drive anywhere across the country to meet the user, as well as charge itself along the way.

Tesla's updated also focuses on limiting the hands-free operation, as now feature will be restricted on residential roads or roads without a center divider.

During the release of the software in October Tesla said that the autopilot feature is designed to relieve drivers of the most tedious and potentially dangerous aspects of road travel.

Tesla Version 7.1 software will reduce its speed in near curves on the highway which will eliminate the risk of any accident.

Reuters cited Tesla CEO Elon Musk as saying that the company is not aware of any accidents caused by the issue.

Tesla said: "The release of Tesla Version 7.1 software is the next step toward developing fully autonomous driving capabilities and delivering them through over-the-air software updates, keeping our customers at the forefront of driving technology in the years ahead."
