The vehicle logs confirm that the automatic Summon feature was initiated by a double-press of the gear selector stalk button, shifting from Drive to Park and requesting Summon activation. The driver was alerted of the Summon activation with an audible chime and a pop-up message on the center touchscreen display. At this time, the driver had the opportunity to cancel the action by pressing CANCEL on the center touchscreen display; however, the CANCEL button was not clicked by the driver. In the next second, the brake pedal was released and two seconds later, the driver exited the vehicle. Three seconds after that, the driver&#x27;s door was closed, and another three seconds later, Summon activated pursuant to the driver&#x27;s double-press activation request. Approximately five minutes, sixteen seconds after Summon activated, the vehicle&#x27;s driver&#x27;s-side front door was opened again. The vehicle&#x27;s behavior was the result of the driver&#x27;s own actions and as you were informed through multiple sources regarding the Summon feature, the driver is always responsible for the safe operation and for maintaining proper control of the vehicle.&quot;<p>Basically, they designed an autonomous-operation mode that was easy to activate by accident and incapable of reliably avoiding crashing into things, it appears someone did and his shiny Tesla crashed into a trailer as a result, and they responded by accusing him of intentionally activating the feature and misusing it.
