Tesla is already planning to improve its latest Autopark feature so that it’s more usable in real-world situations.
Autopark to Accelerate
Tesla's Autopark feature allows the vehicle to park autonomously and is poised for a significant speed boost. Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla's Autopilot lead, confirmed on X that the Autopark feature will increase its parking speed in forthcoming software updates. This response came after enthusiastic feedback from users, including a post from Elluswamy about his daughter's fondness for the feature. While the feature is a fairly big step up from the previous Autopark offering, especially in terms of UI and empty spot detection, using it in a busy parking lot is not fun as it takes its sweet time to park. Speeding up the process would be a notable improvement.
It’ll be faster over the next few releases. Was tuned conservatively for the first release. - Ashok Elluswamy
The new Autopark is available in the U.S. and Canada on update 2024.2.11 and later. However, it’s currently limited to vehicles that don’t include ultrasonic sensors (USS). Similar to the Park Assist feature that is only available to USS-less vehicles, Tesla appears to want to gather more data before releasing the feature to additional vehicles.
My daughter loves it too, keeps making me do Autopark over and over. https://t.co/RDBrxZ9f3o
Elon Musk has signaled that Tesla's AI development will accelerate in improvements due to overcoming previous computational constraints in AI training. This development promises a future of rapid advancements in Tesla's autonomous driving features, leveraging AI's full potential to make driving safer, more efficient, and more enjoyable for Tesla owners.
The latest iteration of Autopark, built on the advanced neural networks powering FSD Supervised v12.3.3 is an example of the improvements we could expect. This update showcases the ability to detect parking spots more accurately and operate without ultrasonic sensors (USS), relying on Tesla's sophisticated vision-based system. The ease of initiating Autopark, with the car automatically suggesting nearby parking spots, marks a substantial usability improvement.
