Tesla is preparing to roll out the Actually Smart Summon software and apply it to certain models.
The carmaker's Autopilot director has given legacy Model S and Model X owners an update on when to expect the feature, Teslarati reported Monday. The outlet noted that the software can remotely "summon" vehicles from a parking spot.
According to the outlet, the feature started being implemented with the HW3 vehicles, despite owners' concerns about the tech being only available with the Hardware 4 vehicles. Amid the update's buzz, owners of the Model S and X were curious if the software would soon come to their cars.
The matter raised the attention of Ashok Ekkuswamy, Tesla's Autopilot director, who uploaded a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). The director claimed that the Actually Smart Summon feature would be implemented in the Model S and X in the fourth quarter, which will officially commence on Tuesday.
