  2. Auto Lane Change: When Autosteer is active, this feature assists the driver in moving to an adjacent lane on the highway.
  3. Autopark: With just a single touch, this feature aids in automatically parallel or perpendicular parking your Tesla.
  4. Summon: This allows your Tesla to move in and out of tight spaces using the mobile app or the key fob.
  5. Smart Summon: A step above the regular Summon, Smart Summon enables your car to navigate more intricate environments. It can maneuver around obstacles to locate you in a parking lot.
