It would not be wrong to say that Tesla, Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company, has a large share behind the spread of electric cars all over the world. The giant company, which is described as the world’s largest electric car manufacturer, also adds many new features to cars, allowing us to encounter vehicles just like in science fiction movies.
However, although Tesla vehicles are equipped with good technologies, we can also encounter strange accidents. Some of these accidents may be caused by the user, while others may be caused by the automobile. For example, in a video we shared with you last month, we saw that the ‘flying’ attempt with a rented Tesla had a disastrous result. Now, a feature in the car caused a very interesting accident.
A Tesla crashed into a private jet while using the ‘Smart Summon’ feature
First of all, Tesla’s ‘Smart Summon’ , that is, let’s briefly talk about the technology named ‘Smart Summon’. This feature, which was added to vehicles in 2019, allows the car to come to you by itself in case you park your vehicle far away. In other words, Tesla cars can come out of the parking lot without you having to walk, or find a parking spot on their own when you don’t have time. However, sometimes things don’t go as expected.
A video shared on popular platform Reddit revealed that a Tesla vehicle using the ‘Smart Summon’ feature crashed into a private jet worth $3.5 million. The user, who shared the images, stated that the incident took place at an airport in Washington state, USA.
According to the post, the owner of the vehicle called his vehicle using Smart Summon on his smartphone at the time the video was taken. However, when the images were examined, it was seen that this situation did not give very positive results, and Tesla, which was programmed to detect the obstacles around it, slowly crashed into the multi-million dollar jet.
It would not be wrong to say that Tesla’s feature is very useful and very useful, and when it is improved in the future, it can be much more useful in matters such as saving people time. However, it should not go without saying that since this technology was launched, there have been news of many accidents or accidents, and therefore some trust problems have arisen in users.
