The car hit a tree at high speed. The driver's seat was empty.

There was a local incident here that surprised me. A woman and her young
daughter were startled in the parking lot of a small high-end grocery store
when a Tesla came very close to them. There was no driver nor anyone
visible. Looks like someone about to leave the store summoned the car
to pick them up. I knew that was possible, I knew that they had been testing
driverless cars in some cities, but I thought so far they always had a person
in the car. I had no idea that with a production Tesla you could do this.
I would have been totally surprised if I saw it happen to me. And a car
owner, I for sure would not have done this unless I could watch what the
car was doing.


Tesla does have a "feature" called "Summon". You use a smartphone to
command the car to come to where you are standing.

Video here about how well (or not!) it works.

Putting the warning, that "You are still responsible...", putting it in
red is a really good idea, because that way the car owner knows that
it's true. States like Texas wanted the warning to be printed in blue,
or even regular-size-font black, but that pinko commie state California
insisted the warning be in red, because they want to make sure everyone
obeys it. If this doesn't work, in next years owners manual, the
warning will be in italics too.
