Don’t worry too much about this, however, as it isn’t expected to happen until 2091 when it returns to the inner solar system and passes Earth. This information was made public in a very technical research paper by a group of astronomers titled: The Random Walk Of Cars And Their Collision Probabilities With Planets. Juicy reading, folks! The authors are Hanno Rein, an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto, his colleague Dr. Daniel Tamayo, and Professor David Vokrouhlicky at Charles University in Prague. Vokrouhlicky is an expert on black holes and galaxies. The Astronomers said that an exact prediction of the Tesla roadster’s orbit were impossible. They were able to come up with a calculation on the probability of a collision. Venus has a 2 1/2 % chance of also being hit by the roadster in 2091. We’ve just got to wait 73 years to see where the roadster lands!
