Tesla has started to roll out the reinvented Autopark feature for cars and we now have a first look at this capability in action through a video.

X user @raderje uploaded a clip of the “Autopark” recorded from a Tesla Model Y. The feature allows the vehicle to park on its own in available parking spaces.

When the driver moves into a parking area at a slow speed, the display automatically highlights parking spaces. These spaces could appear on both the left and right sides at a distance.

The available parking space then be shown with the “P” symbol. However, you can choose any of the highlighted parking spaces with a rectangle outline.

You need to stop the car and select the parking space. Then press start to engage autopark. Thereafter, the car will adjust itself in the direction of the corresponding and open a rear camera vision on the screen along with a three-dimensional view in real-time.

The car will show “Autopark in Progress” on top of the screen. Users in the meantime can pause the parking by pressing the brake. It will automatically disengage autopark once the parking is completed.

Vision Only

The video uploader also confirmed two important pieces of information. First is that the feature is rolled out for Vision-only Tesla Model Y and second, the Tesla Model Y in the video has Autopilot and not Full Self Driving (FSD).

Tesla has removed the radar system and ultrasonic sensors (USS) from Model 3, Y, S, and X through 2021-23. These systems are replaced by a camera-based autopilot system called Tesla Vision and an occupancy network.

Since then the company has limited or disabled features such as auto park, summon, and smart summon from vision-only models.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla recently hyped new autopark and summon them for the next FSD 12 series builds. But seeing this rollout for non-FSD cars is very interesting.

This also brings us to the possibility that the company could soon add more EPA-based Tesla models into Autopark queue. But the expansion is yet to be seen.
