Tesla Model S Software Updates Lets Car Park Itself With No One Inside It (bgr.com)

Posted by timothy on from the bwa-ha-ha dept.

An anonymous reader writes with a link to this article at Boy Genius Report about a software upgrade now hitting Tesla owners, which begins: Tesla earlier today began pushing out version 7.1 of its software to Model S and Model X owners and, suffice it to say, it's a doozy of a software update. While we'll get to the full changelog shortly, we first wanted to highlight a feature called Summon which enables users to park their cars without having to be inside it. Conversely, it also lets Tesla owners summon their cars that already happen to be parked.

    If the update text has errors in it ( i.e. frunk instead of trunk, ref: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com... ), I hope the feature itself was better QA'd.....

    That's not a typo. "Frunk" is Tesla's term for the front trunk.

    Oh dear, missing newline in line 6:

    jaf$ g++ temp.cpp
    jaf$ ./a.out
    Hello World!jaf$

    Let me know where to file the bug report :)

    I don't care if it's 90,000 hectares. That lake was not my doing.
