Once
Hello.
I know that we say:
Once I have parked/Park the car, I’ll call you.
But how about this:
We are in the car and I tell my friend:
“Don’t worry. I know we are driving pretty slowly at the moment, but once we enter the highway we will be driving faster m/ we will drive faster.”
Will be driving—> as we enter, we will already be driving faster when we enter the highway and will continue to do so.
Will drive—> 1. We enter and then we will drive faster.
Context 2:
Me and my child:
“Once the takes off we are flying/will be flying.”
Can they be used interchangeably?

The two sentences, "I know we are driving pretty slowly at the moment, but once we enter the highway we will be driving faster/we will drive faster.", are both okay, completely grammatical. However, in American English this might be said, more casually, as: "I know we're driving pretty slow right now, but once we get on the freeway we'll be going faster/we'll go faster."
