Tesla unveiled its new Roadster electric sports car at a SpaceX test facility in Texas. During the demonstration, the driverless car jumped over an obstacle while spinning in mid-air and drove along a curved ramp. According to the company, the car's position during flight is controlled by a system of nozzles that release compressed gas. Series production is scheduled to begin in 2028.
