American EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) launched the company's actually smart summon feature in China on Friday.

What Happened: The feature will be pushed to Tesla vehicles in China through over-the-air updates, the company said.

Actually Smart Summon will allow users to summon their Tesla cars to a nearby particular location and banish them once they are done using it with the Tesla app in familiar and predictable areas such as private driveways and parking lots. The vehicle must be in the driver's line of sight at all times while using the feature.

The feature will only be available to users who signed up for the company's enhanced autopilot and full self-driving features.

Why It Matters: Tesla started rolling out Actually Smart Summon to vehicles in the U.S. in early September.

Early in September, Tesla also said that it would roll out its full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance software in Europe and China in the first quarter of 2025, pending regulatory approval.

FSD is currently limited to the U.S. market and while it requires active driver supervision as of today, Tesla is optimistic that it can enable vehicle autonomy with future versions of the software.
