On January 7, 2025, NHTSA opened a preliminary evaluation into about 2.6 million Tesla vehicles equipped with Actually Smart Summon, a feature that moves the car remotely via phone app, citing four crash reports including a Model 3 in Houston striking an occupied parked car and a Model Y in Henderson, Nevada turning abruptly into a parked vehicle. NHTSA said vehicles failed to detect posts or parked cars and some users had too little reaction time to avoid a crash.
What this means for youA remote-control driving feature acts on its own perception, so keep line of sight and a finger on the stop button when you use one.
