While autonomous vehicle technology is developing day by day, Tesla is one of the ambitious brands in this regard. Tesla branded vehicles provide great convenience to the driver, especially on highways, with autonomous driving. In addition to this, the electric car manufacturer has been offering its users for a long time the advanced summoning (Smart Summon) feature that allows the driver of the parked vehicle to come to his location. This feature, which is still in beta, can be very useful in some cases. The same was not true for this person who wanted to use the Smart Summon feature of his vehicle at the airport.
Tesla Smart Summon could not notice the plane!
We have seen many times before that Tesla’s Smart Summon feature does not work as expected. But this time the situation is very different. In the video shared on Reddit, we see the Tesla Model Y crash into a million-dollar Cirrus Vision Jet.
In the incident reflected in the security cameras, Tesla, advancing at the airport, crashes into the parked private plane. Model Y, which tries to move forward by not stopping its movement after the first contact, does not stop without turning the plane almost 90 degrees.
Information about the incident is very limited, but it is thought that one of the three people who entered the image during the accident is the owner of this Tesla Model Y. The allegations made are that the Model Y’s advanced summoning feature crashed with active use.
Tesla has many warnings for its customers using the Smart Summon feature. Underlining that the advanced calling feature is designed for private properties and parking lots, the brand also emphasizes that this feature is still in the BETA phase.
The automaker also allows users to stop their vehicles via their phones while the Smart Summon feature is active. However, it seems that the user of this vehicle failed to stop his vehicle, which did not notice the plane.
