While I’m not saying summon is a great feature, it would not have hit the things you’re mentioning.

Its major flaw is thin upright things like small trees or poles (although this may be better on vision only cars, I’m not sure). If it sees a person or child in its path, it’s just going to stop.

...and auto pilot won't drive into giant barriers in the middle of well-marked, and mapped, highway divide either, right?

From someone who automatic doors wouldn't react to as a thin teenager, this isn't very reassuring.
Considering the wall of parked cars it was attempting to do a u-turn into, I'd say you're wrong.
