A new Tesla Roadster has been unveiled with a propulsion system that uses rocket thrusters for flight, marking a shift from traditional automotive engineering. The vehicle’s ability to take off vertically and hover raises questions about its maneuverability and the risks posed by its powerful thrusters to people or objects in close proximity. Engineers and safety experts are examining whether the design could lead to accidents if the thrusters malfunction or if bystanders are caught in their exhaust. The article breaks down how the technology works and the potential hazards it presents during operation.
