Yup, same thing with me. My workmate showed off the fetch mode. Our parking lot in front of the building is divided from the front of building by an access road. We could see the Model 3 and it us (I guess), but it got seriously confused trying to fetch us. My workmate had to hit the red emergency cut-off button an abort the mission. LOL. Being technical people, we just fluffed it off as a beta test and not ideal conditions for a successful test result...

We could have walked to the car in about 20 seconds. Not sure what the point is with fetch mode.
Should be called "show-off" mode. Lots of the autonomous tech so far has been gimmicks.
