I wonder if they'll be able to integrate that technology into Tesla cars? It would be handy when you forget where you parked your car in a multi-storey (or when you have a few too many drinks after work) - just get an Uber home, and your Tesla will be waiting in the garage when you get home.

One thing that astounded me was how perfectly synchronised the two boosters were all the way down - from little attitude-control "puffs" to firing the braking burns, to touch-down - perfectly synched all the way. (Yes, in one sense, they both started at the same altitude and velocity, so they should in theory be synchronised, but I would have expected a little bit of randomness to creep in.)
