Elon Musk set out an ambition for Tesla to take more than half of the global passenger travel market by leading with self-driving services. He said Tesla would handle the majority of passenger travel distance in countries that allow autonomous driving to operate freely. The outlook faces uncertainty from national regulations, delays in Tesla’s autonomous-driving schedule and scrutiny of its Cybercab robotaxi. Tesla executives also indicated unsupervised FSD could reach some customer cars as early as the second quarter of 2027.

Florida is reviewing an “Aerial Highway Network” that would include hubs where flying cars could charge and take off and land, while leaving unused $197 million in federal subsidies allocated to expand charging for electric cars and trucks. The debate has focused on whether to prioritise current charging infrastructure or future transport with limited commercialisation. Tesla also drew criticism after showcasing a Roadster demonstration evoking levitation rather than providing details on production plans.
