Now you can park your car with your mobile phone – Sande Blad

It’s never boring to own a Tesla. Here it happens namely things with the car all the time. The last update of software for Tesla Model S, has now given Norwegian customers to remotely control their car using an app.

In this way the car is parked, with no need to sit behind the wheel.

the system has been launched in other markets earlier and has already been used hundreds of times.

Tesla has no dealers in Vestfold and the nearest retail outlet located in Drammen.

Beta version

Tesla’s information manager in Norway, Even Sandvold Roland says that parking assistance thus far is a Beta version. And it will change continuously, based on feedback from owners.

He has been testing the system in practice.

– This is an important step towards self-driving cars. With this in place you will not have to worm yourself into and out of the car in tight parking spaces. Instead, simply set the car in front of the parking lot, go out and leave the car park itself. It is also safer to park, because you can stand on the outside and have complete control of the car’s surroundings when parking, believes Sandvold Roland.

Running even

To park the car must set up a maximum of 12 meters from the parking lot, so it can drive straight to the site, forward or backward. The car will make minor adjustments to get right into the box, but not big swings.

Tesla app used to activate Summon. The car runs up to 12 meters or until the sensors when an obstacle in front or behind. At this time considered parking lot as complete and Summon set parking brake.

The same method applies to use Summon to run out of a parking space.



More of the same ability

Cars that park themselves are nothing new. There are parking assistant on everything from small cars to large luxury cars.

But Tesla is among the first to offer parking using their mobile phones as remote. Mercedes also has a solution for its new E-class.

Nissan has also demonstrated similar technology in its electric vehicle Leaf, but so far this is not available to buyers.

And it’s probably not long for many automakers offer similar solutions.

Tesla parking system

Summon interrupted:

– how tight spaces car will run in and out of (how good distance the car will have to prevent the sides)

– Use of HomeLink garage door to let the Model S will automatically open the garage door before entering and leaving
