Elon Musk hints at new tap to park feature for Tesla

San Francisco: Elon Musk has hinted at a new "tap to park" feature for Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta, which he said the company is working on. This feature will allow Tesla cars to park themselves without a driver even behind the wheels.

In response to a post on X, Musk noted that Tesla is working on a feature that will allow the car to recognise potential parking places and allow users to choose one by tapping on it. After selecting a parking space, the driver can leave the vehicle and the car will park itself. "We are working on a feature where the car identifies probable viable parking spaces. You tap on one, exit the vehicle and it parks there," he wrote.

Tesla owners who purchased their vehicles prior to the discontinuation of Ultrasonic Sensors (USS) can use a similar option called "Autopark".
