Elon Musk took to Twitter late on Wednesday night to tout Tesla’s forthcoming “advanced summon” feature, which he says is due out in about six weeks.

“Car will drive to your phone location & follow you like a pet if you hold down summon button on Tesla app,” Musk tweeted.

In another tweet, Musk said that “you’ll be able to drive it from your phone remotely like a big RC car”—though only if the car is within the line of sight.
