Vedanta Resources Chairman Anil Agarwal marveled at the speed at which technology is advancing, following Tesla CEO Elon Musk's demonstration of a redesigned electric sports car. Musk unveiled a white two-seater vehicle that performed various aerial maneuvers, such as turning mid-air and jumping over other vehicles. Agarwal noted that flying cars and autonomous robots, once confined to science fiction, are now real.

He praised the combination of risk-taking entrepreneurship and cutting-edge science, emphasizing the potential to change the world. The redesigned Roadster was showcased using rocket-style thrusters developed in collaboration with SpaceX. However, the demonstration did not establish a practical flight range or routine. Musk's company has not provided a target price for the model, which will begin production in 2028.
