SOME TESLA MOTOR vehicles will be able to park themselves without a driver inside with a software update beamed to customers this weekend.
Owners must line up their Model S sedan or Model X SUV within 33 feet of the space they want it to drive or back into.
The owner can then stand within 10 feet and park the car automatically using the key fob. The car can also exit the spot when the driver summons it with the fob.
Tesla says the system should only be used on private property.
The software update also puts new speed limits on Tesla’s semi-autonomous mode.
The car will now only drive at the speed limit when automatic steering is being used on residential roads and on roads without a centre divider.

Any driver who cannot park a car properly shouldn’t be driving.
I don’t think that that’s a new feature? That came out a few years ago.
Been in cars for years… But the driver being able to do it outside the vehicle is new.
Technology would put women drivers parking to sham!!
How to parallel park……… for most people it’s park somewhere else!!! another thing that should be included in driving tests!
Surely itcould teach women too
no video?
doesn’t the fous have this aswell?
have your say
