Last night, I was watching a video about Tesla, and I was truly amazed.

The car revealed this time is Tesla's next-generation sports car, the Roadster.

All I can say is that it's incredible, haha.

The car emits air like a special effect from a movie, jumps over five other cars, and lands perfectly.

Moreover, it even performs a flip in mid-air like a ninja, making it hard to tell if it's car technology or a Hollywood action movie.

Sometimes, when I'm stuck in traffic on the 405 freeway, I wonder how great it would be if cars could fly into the sky.

But now, it feels like that imagination is not just a distant future anymore.

The two-seater Tesla Roadster revealed that day completely overturned our understanding of cars.

A car racing along a circular track that soars into the sky suddenly flips its body and takes off into the air.

Then, it uses thrusters to stabilize itself and lands back on the ground. This scene, which seems like something out of a movie, was actually demonstrated with a real car.

It is said that not only Tesla but also SpaceX engineers participated in this technology. They applied the thruster technology used to control spacecraft to cars.

Musk explained that they collaborated to create a car that surpasses those seen in James Bond movies.

Especially, the rocket recovery technology demonstrated by SpaceX is still hard to believe. SpaceX managed to bring a massive rocket booster back to the ground and even showed it being caught by a giant mechanical arm on the launch pad.

Seeing a metal object several dozen meters tall ascend into space and return to a precise location is a testament to how far human technology can advance.

Even more astonishing is the suction system that holds the car firmly to the road.

According to Musk, it generates enough suction power to hang the car upside down.

This technology allows the car to stay glued to the road even when cornering at high speeds.

The acceleration performance is even more unbelievable. It reportedly takes just 0.81 seconds to go from a standstill to 60 miles per hour, about 97 km/h.

Typically, a sports car is considered incredibly fast if it reaches that speed in under 3 seconds, but now it takes less than a second.

The top speed is also said to exceed 370 km/h.

It was unveiled on October 15 at SpaceX's testing facility in McGregor, Texas, equipped with a propulsion system that sprays high-pressure gas onto the vehicle.

In simple terms, it's applying spacecraft attitude control technology to cars.

In fact, the Roadster changed its position in mid-air and jumped over five lined-up Tesla vehicles.

The time it took to accelerate from a standstill to 60 miles per hour, about 97 km/h, was also 0.81 seconds during the demonstration.

Of course, cars that can fly in the sky on regular roads have not yet appeared.

This demonstration showcased limited aerial mobility technology, with actual production aimed for 2028. Safety issues and legal regulations also need to be addressed.

This demonstration was conducted autonomously without a driver for safety reasons.

With a production goal set for 2028, it will take time before it is delivered to actual customers.

Most importantly, it is still uncertain whether such propulsion systems can be legally used on public roads.

However, every time I see news like this, I have a thought that comes to mind before considering the practicality of the technology.

How on earth did they come up with such an idea and make it a reality?

Typically, car companies focus on increasing driving range, reducing charging time, and improving ride comfort.

But Tesla is even experimenting with making cars fly and flip.

Just a few years ago, when I thought of technological competition among car manufacturers, I would think of engine power or battery range.

But Tesla is trying to change the very way cars move.

While I may not be able to drive such a car on the 405 freeway in LA, the fact that they are demonstrating such ideas as real machines is astonishing.

Honestly, I probably won't be doing flips in that car on the LA freeway. I'm not sure how useful such a feature would actually be.

Still, what's impressive is impressive. I'm now seeing technology that I used to watch in sci-fi movies in real car demonstrations.

Watching the video yesterday made me feel like the future we thought was far away is actually arriving much faster than we expected.
