You Can Now 'Summon' The Tesla Model S Like An Obedient Pet

• http://motherboard.vice.com, by JON CHRISTIAN

 The latest version of the software that runs the company's upscale vehicles can park the Model S without a human on board—or even come calling when the user "summons" the vehicle using the car's wireless key fob.

A Tesla owner named James Majerus, who already received the update, posted a video of his Model S parking itself and coming when he summoned it—both maneuvers that the vehicle appears to execute with agonizing caution. The update, which is technically v7.1 of the software, can also interact with a HomeLink control system to open and close a garage door blocking its path, which other users have demonstrated in videos.
