Summon

(cont'd)

Market demand for electric vehicles is driven by the hope that they will some day be cost-effective and eco-friendly. Innovation also plays a part by generating excitement.

Tesla was the first to put a 17-inch computer screen on the dash board. A breakdown in the electronics, as Craig Venter discovered, can be corrected online over night by factory engineers. And Tesla is considered a front runner in the most exciting innovation, self-driving cars. 

In a recent software update, Tesla announced "its Model S and Model X vehicles [now have] the ability to open your garage door, enter, park and shut down." 

This  feature ("summon")  is "laying the groundwork for much bigger plans however. Tesla boss Elon Musk said that within two years, people would be able to call their vehicle to drive itself from your home to meet you anywhere in the country – and charge itself along the way."
