Tesla Announces New Auto Park, Customers Post Videos Of It In Action

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) is now restoring the Autopark capability after removing the ultrasonic sensors from its vehicles, which led to the loss of this feature, among others.

What Happened: The company is rolling out a software update that enables cars to park themselves using only cameras and the "Tesla Vision" system. This update is a major milestone in Tesla's push towards a fully vision-reliant self-driving system.

Here is a parallel parking example of the new end-to-end Autopark Parking better and faster than I could! Parked right behind a @Rivian too! from 2024.2.12 (also 2024.2.11) blown away and it parked faster than I could have.
