I want to say I've heard references of Tesla vehicles having "factory Summon", but I haven't had it confirmed outside of one person's hacking around[1]. References to a "virtual conveyor belt" basically.

> The AFW system uses a lidar-sensor infrastructure that locates vehicle position and at the same time detects obstacles in the factory environment. Seoul Robotics’ lidar-detection software uses the static monitoring sensors to create a digital twin of the environment, including object classification and positioning for the vehicles. Then, Embotech’s motion planner sends control commands to the driverless vehicles via mobile radio.

I suppose this remote control then stays in the car for nefarious ^H well-meaning parties to take over?
