Does that mean it will inevitably be pulled into a high gravity object and crash? Or does that mean it will just travel wildly through space?




Hopefully it gets grabbed by Jupiter and ejected from the solar system. That would be awesome.


Can you imagine an alien species finding that car, it would be hilarious.

Then they find us and bring us free Dont panic T-shirts.


More than likely it's going to get ejected within the sun's gravity well and will slowly get pulled into the sun where it will cease to exist.
