Tesla has renamed the old Summon function. In Poland, it is now called “Unintelligent”.
On October 10, 2026, Tesla changed the European names for its driver assistance systems. The original Summon was officially renamed “Dumb Summon,” and in the Polish version of the configurator, it appears as Nieinteligentne Summon.
The name sounds like a joke, but it accurately describes the functionality of this feature. The car can move straight forward or backward without a driver, when controlled via the Tesla app or key fob. It cannot turn or navigate through a parking lot. It’s mainly useful when the car is in a tight garage or when the doors cannot be opened easily.
The term “Dumb Summon” is not entirely new. Elon Musk and Tesla employees have used it before to distinguish the basic function from Actually Smart Summon. It is only now that it has appeared in the company’s official European materials. The Polish localization retained a mix of Polish and English, so instead of the simple “Non-intelligent summoning,” we have “Nieinteligentne Summon.”
Two types of Summon in a package for 420 zł
This feature is included in the Tesla Assisted Driving Basic package, which replaces Enhanced Autopilot in countries where FSD is not available. The subscription costs 420 zł per month. Tesla also includes Autosteer, speed control that takes road conditions into account, lane changing, navigation with Autosteer, Autopark, as well as response to traffic lights and stop signs.
The second variant of vehicle summoning is Actually Smart Summon, known in Poland as Rozszerzone inteligentne Summon. This feature can drive the car autonomously from a parking lot to the user or a designated location.
Actually Smart Summon was introduced in Europe in 2024, but it operates from a much shorter distance here compared to North America. European users must stay within a maximum of 6 meters from the car, while in North America the limit is around 65 meters. Proposed regulations aim to increase the European range to 10 meters and to 15 meters when there is direct eye contact with the car.
Tesla changes names ahead of European voting
The change to Summon is part of a larger rebranding effort. Full Self-Driving (Supervised) was renamed Tesla Assisted Driving in Europe after discussions with Germany’s transportation ministry.
According to reports, the system has so far received approval from eight European Union countries, with a vote across the entire bloc set for December 2026. The configurators in most EU markets still indicate that Tesla Assisted Driving is not yet available but may appear in the future.
The new name does not expand the capabilities of the old Summon. It remains a simple remote control for moving the car in a straight line. More changes could come from the December vote and any potential relaxation of distance limits for a more advanced version.
