Summon Your Tesla to Your Feet, No Need to Walk to the Garage Anymore

Tesla’s new update to the Autopilot, now you can order your Tesla to come where you are. The feature works when you’re in the range of 39 feet ( 12 m ) of the car. The idea is to summon the car from your home garage. Tesla can tell to your garage door to open or close if your garage door HomeLink-compatible. Yes, we can say; the range is very short, 39 feet is not too much, but this is the first update for this feature.

Highly possible Tesla will try to improve this feature. For now only thing this autopilot update does, get out of your garage or get back in, and just doing it in 39 feet. A person should be really lazy not to do this; it is just a short distance. We are accepting a more improved version of this in the future, for example; it can be cool to call the car from your office place, or those garages of a big shopping malls.
