0:00 - ASS is finally here!

3:25 - Second test, settings change randomly
4:42 - Third test, car drives too far and loses connection

9:26 - Autopark and ASS
10:10 - Curb NOT hit. watch it twice to help the algo :)

Correction: if you go to 11:00, you can see the car did not hit the curb. ASS hit the brakes very hard to avoid hitting the curb. Thanks to those that pointed this out

Chris: “ASS going wider next week”

Me: “Oh, so that’s why the channel is called “Dirty Tesla’”

[Trevor-Bobyk]

Best ass vid yet. Thanks for walking around in a parking lot with a tripod for us to see this in action.

[StuHailz]

If it always needs to back up before starting, need to test putting something behind it so it can't do that and see what it does

[BernardMaltais]

I suspect the small backup is to detect any object that might have been placed in front of the bumper...

"Reversing for forward visibility" - neat, looks like this is how they are mitigating the front camera blind spot.

[MichaelKire]

Imagine having people in the car waiting for you (like you quickly going into a mall to buy something) and then the car suddenly starts to move because you started A.S.S and made it come to you XD

I may or may not have refreshed your page about 30 times over the last 12 hours

Human drivers are so impatient it’s unbelievable. Very exciting update!

[YellowRambler]

Smart summon and Dog mode at the same time 😂

[gig]

Holy s! How fast are people driving in your parking areas?!?!?!?!?

[oisiaa]

Obviously this is a conservative V1 of this, but the summon radius needs to be at least 1, 000 feet. Think of a normal Walmart store with two entry/exits. You could park at one side of the store and exit from the other and have it meet you. Summon while you're checking out and it will be at the door when you exit.

It's frustrating that we Europeans are falling behind due to our politicians' decisions. I hope they reconsider their stance on Tesla's Autopilot system.

[leedsbutler]

That guy in the truck is a good example of why I don’t really care that human drivers are replaced by autonomous vehicles.

[xplmr]

Since it has to back up first due to vision based no ultrasonic sensors, what if you are backed in to a wall in a parking structure or a parking stop? What does it do if it can't first reverse? Does it say smart summon in unavailable?

[TheSeenman]

Did it actually hit the curb, or did it just slam the brakes to avoid it?
On the side cameras it seems there were several inches of space still

[Georgeg]

Please test the visibility of the 'reverse for forward visbility'... Can you put something in front of the car (small child size) before it reverses? Can it see it when it reverses?

[eugeniustheodidactus]

Not having a front bumper camera has always been a big mistake, especially for a vision only system. _Must reverse to go forward?_ Better not back into your parking space!

[dgaw]

So if I understand what you're saying, the feature is a work in progress, but now we at least have a piece of ASS.

People walk dogs, bro walks a car 🤣🤣🤣
