There is zero chance that “feature” will ever see public roads. The amount of compressed are needed for that would probably vaporize everyone within 50 feet in a minor accident.
I would actually be more comfortable if it did use propellant.
This was a publicity stunt and the only to only noteworthy thing is the vacuum downforce which also seems dumb when you consider it’ll be sucking up squirrels and random shit on public roads.
It’ll be a regular car with regular features. This stuff will be “2 years out” for the next 20z
There isn't a zero chance, Elon was proud to admit how he was able to get road safety measures cut so that the cybertruck could get onto American streets, pretty much nowhere else, and with the current US we've got the cyberpunk without the cool robots and implants.
Road safety measures aren't what will stop this thing from going to market. Literally no insurance company in the country will insure this this, and that's what will stop this from going to market.

I'm gonna be real I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a car that can jump in the current American driving climate anyways.
