Tesla's flying Roadster is just the start, with humanoid robots and driverless taxis next

ndtv.com —

Tesla unveiled its next-generation Roadster on October 15, performing short airborne manoeuvres with SpaceX rocket thrusters, though it cannot sustain flight and production is slated for 2028. Beyond the sports car, Tesla is developing Optimus humanoid robots for unsafe or repetitive tasks and Cybercab, a driverless two-seat vehicle without a steering wheel, with Robotaxi services already launched in Austin. These projects face regulatory, safety, and technical hurdles, but Tesla aims to expand beyond car sales into AI, robotics, and autonomous transport, which could reshape urban mobility and physical work.
