Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled a new vehicle described as a "flying" car equipped with thrusters during a livestreamed event on Thursday. The demonstration took place at his SpaceX rocket facility, with the Tesla Roadster sports car shown launching from a steep ramp and landing on its wheels.
Despite the high-profile unveiling, the broader flying car sector continues to face significant hurdles. Technical and regulatory challenges have historically prevented similar much-hyped concepts from successfully getting off the ground.
