Science-fiction author Arthur C. Clarke once wrote, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” When I was learning to drive, like many teens, I struggled with some of the more mundane tasks such as parallel parking. In recent years though, technological advances have made even that seem magical at times.

But like watching a novice magician struggling with an illusion trick, if the tech isn't ready, the spell is broken. The performer then needs to go back to practicing. Such is the case with Tesla and its new Smart Summon feature.
