Tesla cars to connect to Starlink satellite phone network in the US
Tesla electric cars will soon be able to connect to Starlink – a network of a few thousand communications satellites operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX company – for placing emergency phone calls and texts.
From 2023, the Starlink service – which delivers internet services – will expand to allow users to make calls and texts from their phone in remote areas of the US, where traditional phone service can't reach.
Designed to "[eliminate] dead zones worldwide", the service will launch with mobile phones – but Elon Musk has confirmed it will eventually expand to Tesla cars.
