Elon Musk unveils a flying Tesla Roadster using SpaceX thrusters while explaining why hydrogen fuel cells won't shape the future of cars.
The article from Ecoticias discusses Elon Musk's perspective on the future of transportation, particularly focusing on flying cars and hydrogen technology. Musk, known for his ambitious projects with Tesla and SpaceX, has expressed skepticism about the practicality of flying cars, citing issues like noise, safety, and the complexity of managing aerial traffic. Instead, he advocates for advancements in electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous driving technology. However, the article also touches on the broader industry trend towards exploring hydrogen as a clean energy source for transportation. Companies like Hyundai and Toyota are investing in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, which produce only water as a byproduct, offering a zero-emission alternative to traditional combustion engines. Despite Musk's doubts about flying cars, the article suggests that hydrogen could play a significant role in the future of sustainable transport, potentially integrating with electric systems or even in aviation, although significant infrastructure and technological challenges remain.
