In this episode of the Elon Musk Podcast, we discuss the latest developments in two areas where Musk's companies have been pushing the limits of technology: electric cars and rocket manufacturing.

First, we delve into the safety concerns surrounding Tesla cars, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) investigates multiple crashes involving Teslas using the automaker's Autopilot system crashing into parked emergency vehicles. We explore the challenges of developing and deploying automated driving systems and the risks they pose to drivers, passengers, and first responders.

Then, we turn our attention to Relativity Space, a company founded by former Blue Origin engineer Tim Ellis, which aims to revolutionize rocket manufacturing using 3D printing. We discuss the launch of the world's first 3D-printed rocket, Terran 1, and its potential to disrupt the space industry. We examine the advantages and limitations of 3D printing for building rockets and the role of private companies like Relativity Space in expanding access to space.

Join us as we explore the complex interplay between technology, innovation, and safety in two industries where Musk's ambitions are shaping the future.
