Tesla is preparing an update to its Full Self-Driving software that will allow vehicles to recall a driver's preferred parking spots at regular destinations. Chief executive Elon Musk confirmed the change in response to user feedback.
Musk replied to a post by tech entrepreneur Tom Blomfield, who reported completing 96 percent of his recent mileage autonomously. Blomfield said he only intervenes when reversing into his garage.
Musk wrote that upcoming releases of FSD will remember parking preferences so the car goes to the right location at home, office or school drop-off. He added that destination parking is the main reason drivers intervene with the system.
Critical safety interventions remain extremely rare, according to Musk. The current version of the software typically selects the first available space in a lot, which can lead to inconvenient positions.
