Tesla has delayed the \u201csmart summon\u201d feature, which it claimed would be on its cars by now\u2014and, with that delay, has also pushed back a $1,000 price increase for the \u201cself-driving\u201d package.<\/p>\n

Elon Musk, head of Tesla, had claimed that the feature would be available in mid-August, but it’s been delayed by around one or two months, as it was in November 2018, the first time he announced that it would be around \u201cnext month.\u201d (It\u2019s always next month in Elon\u2019s world.)<\/p>\n

Even as late as this April, Musk said self-driving would be ready by the end of 2019. It makes one wonder if his plan to terraform Mars, using that safest of all technologies, nuclear bombs, will be pushed back (after four years, he has actually changed his years-long obsession with this plan, which would involve sending out hundreds of nuclear bombs on rockets; the new replacement plan is somewhat less dangerous but still highly unlikely given current technology).<\/p>\n

The \u201csmart summon\u201d feature would bring your car to you in a public parking lot, at speeds up to five miles per hour. \u00a0Based on Timothy B. Lee\u2019s article in ArsTechnica<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
