Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk has yet again provided a fresh timeline for the &#8220;Actually Smart Summon&#8221; feature on its cars with full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance technology deployed.
What Happened: The code for the &#8220;Actually Smart Summon&#8221; feature is different and it will be bundled with future versions of Tesla&#8217;s FSD, Musk said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
&#8220;Technically A&#x2A;&#x2A; is separate code, but it will be bundled with 12.5.x next month.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Yes. Technically ASS is separate code, but it will be bundled with 12.5.x next month.
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1816282993465479327?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 25, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Actually Smart Summon will allow users to summon their Tesla cars and banish them once they are done using it with the Tesla app. Musk has previously provided different timelines for the feature being deployed but they have been delayed time and again. 
&#8220;(Actually) Smart Summon is almost done,&#8221; Musk said as long back as October 2022.
Earlier this year, he again said that the feature would be &#8220;coming soon,&#8221; but without providing a clearer timeline. 
Why It Matters: Tesla started rolling out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39900392/teslas-fsd-version-12-5-doesnt-support-sunglasses-yet-contrary-to-elon-musks-word">version 12.5 of FSD </a>earlier this month. The company is currently advancing the capability of the technology in a bid to achieve complete vehicle autonomy. 
During Tesla&#8217;s second-quarter earnings call earlier this week, Musk pegged vehicle autonomy to be the major driver of value for Tesla. 
&#8220;So I recommend anyone who doesn&#8217;t believe that Tesla would sell vehicle autonomy should not hold Tesla stuff. They should sell their Tesla stuff. If you believe Tesla will sell autonomy, you should buy Tesla stuff,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39900392/teslas-fsd-version-12-5-doesnt-support-sunglasses-yet-contrary-to-elon-musks-word">Musk said.</a>

Why ServiceNow Shares Are Rising Today

In the realm of space exploration, China&#8217;s uncrewed reusable spacecraft has been the subject of much speculation. Experts believe that the secretive spacecraft, currently on its third mission, maybe testing technologies for manipulating or retrieving satellites.
What Happened: The spacecraft was observed in June releasing an object, moving several kilometers away, and then repositioning itself near the object, Reuters reported on Thursday.
&#8220;It&#8217;s obvious that it has a military application, including, for example, closely inspecting objects of the enemy or disabling them,&#8221; stated Marco Langbroek, a lecturer at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.
Besides potential military uses, the spacecraft could also be used for non-military purposes, such as refueling satellites. As militaries worldwide are developing intricate satellite networks, a reusable spacecraft with such capabilities could be of immense value, Langbroek and three other experts noted.

Victoria Samson, chief director of space security and stability at the Secure World Foundation think tank in Washington, D.C., believes that China&#8217;s spaceplane is likely testing technology similar to the X-37B. 
&#8220;I am guessing that both are technology demonstrators,&#8221; she added.
The current flight of the Chinese spaceplane began in December 2023. Its previous mission, which also involved putting a separate object in space and retrieving it, launched in August 2022 and lasted 276 days, according to tracking data.
Why It Matters: The technologies being tested by the spacecraft have not been disclosed by China, and the spacecraft has not been publicly photographed since it began operating. The U.S. first launched its uncrewed Boeing X-37B spaceplane in 2010, while Russia has recently launched several satellites that U.S. officials suspect may be weapons, a charge Russia has denied.
Amid escalating tensions between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39858529/amid-russia-china-tensions-us-bolsters-defenses-with-new-satellite-jammers-that-can-responsibly-coun">Russia and China,</a> the U.S. has been bolstering its defenses with new satellite jammers designed to disrupt information transmission from Chinese or Russian satellites during conflicts.
Earlier this year, China&#8217;s Ministry of State Security reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38891429/china-slams-rival-nations-amid-espionage-attempts-in-space-sector-spare-no-effort-to-contain-and-sup">several instances of espionage</a> in its space sector, accusing rival nations of attempting to steal China's latest space research findings.
