"Investigators reported 159 incidents involving Tesla's Smart Summon feature, which constitutes less than one percent of the millions of Summons sessions conducted by owners."
"Most incidents occurred when users did not have a complete 360-degree view of the surroundings in the app, affecting their situational awareness."
"The investigation identified two incidents where vehicles' cameras were blocked by snow, preventing the Summons feature from detecting the obstruction."
"Since the reported crashes involved minor issues and did not result in injuries or major incidents, NHTSA decided to close the investigation."
The National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration concluded its investigation into Tesla's Smart Summon feature, which allows remote parking via an app. The investigation revealed 159 incidents, representing less than one percent of total Summons sessions. Most incidents occurred due to users lacking a complete view of surroundings. Issues included collisions with parking gates and vehicles, with some incidents linked to blocked cameras. Tesla has implemented updates to enhance camera visibility and object detection, leading to the decision to close the investigation without major safety concerns.
