A Mind of Its Own? This Car Parks Itself

Some may call it an example of the machines taking over. Other may dub it the inevitable wave of the future. We just think it's kind of cool.

Earlier this month a fellow who dotes the appellation "J majerus" on YouTube posted a brief look at a Tesla model S 7.1.

The automobile, in addition to looking quite stylish, has the ability to park itself, with the owner simply needing to click a button that turns on a feature called "Summon."

Before people look too much into the technology, as cool as it is, the J himself noted that all did not go according to plan.

"Summon was able to open the garage door, however, [it] got hung up on the lip into my garage. I restarted it when it paused for the lip, and it entered correctly," he explained in the video description.

Still, the scene the video shows is an impressive one, having over 428,000 views and 600 likes in less than a week.
