One of the most recent advances in the world of automotive technology is the creation of terrestrial and flying electric vehicles. These advances, partly driven by the decrease in the price of lithium in the global market, could revolutionize the transportation industry in the near future.
Amidst this landscape, the upcoming presidential election in the United States adds an element of uncertainty, with the possibility of Elon Musk, leader of Tesla, taking a significant role in the administration as an "anti-regulation czar." This scenario presents the opportunity for a significant advance in the development and implementation of autonomous and flying vehicles in the neighboring country.
The combination of these factors presents a promising future for electric mobility worldwide, an area where Mexico, with its experience in supply chains for vehicle manufacturing, could play a key role. It is imperative that the Mexican government focuses on addressing security issues in regions such as Guanajuato, the hub of the national automotive industry, in order to take advantage of the opportunities that arise in this new era of transportation.
Recently, the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States issued regulations for vertical takeoff and landing electric vehicles, also known as air taxis. This milestone paves the way for a new multi-billion dollar category of transportation and opens up business opportunities for various suppliers. The FAA's approval of this new aircraft represents a significant step in the history of aviation in the country.
In addition to these developments, the discovery of significant lithium reserves in Arkansas raises the possibility of the United States becoming one of the leading producers of this mineral worldwide. These advances coincide with the presentation of prototypes of flying cars at international events, demonstrating the accelerated progress toward a future of innovative and sustainable transportation.
