Elon Musk's Ambitions Meet Reality: Tesla Safety Concerns and 3D-Printed Rocket Launch · Elon Musk Podcast

• 0:00
  Welcome back to the Elon Musk podcast.
• 0:07
  And in today's episode, we'll be discussing two major news
• 0:11
  stories related to the worlds of space and transportation.
• 0:15
  First, we'll talk about the national highway traffic safety
• 0:18
  administration. Turning up the heat on Tesla is
• 0:22
  they investigate multiple instances of Tesla's crashing
• 0:25
  into parked emergency vehicles while using the automaker's
• 0:29
  autopilot. Le system.
• 0:31
  Now the agency has launched a special crash investigation team
• 0:35
  to probe a fatal crash involving a Tesla Model S suspected of
• 0:39
  using an automated driving system when it ran into a parked
• 0:43
  fire truck in California. The investigation will look into
• 0:46
  how the autopilot system detects in response to emergency
• 0:50
  vehicles, parked on highways. Next, we'll be discussing
• 0:53
  relativity spaces preparation to launch the world's first 3D
• 0:58
  printed rocket. The Terran one, the rocket
• 1:02
  designed by Tim O's, who's the CEO and co-founder of relatively
• 1:06
  space and a former engineer at Jeff Bezos has space startup
• 1:10
  blue origin stands, 110 feet high and 7.5 feet wide and will
• 1:16
  be the largest 3D printed object to reach orbit.
• 1:21
  If successful and the rocket will use nine engines to boost
• 1:25
  it off the ground and be able to carry a payload to low earth,
• 1:28
  orbit of about 2000. Hundred pounds Ellis hopes to
• 1:31
  disrupt, the rocket manufacturing industry, by
• 1:34
  putting metal 3D printers at the core of the manufacturing
• 1:37
  process and take on his former boss, Jeff Bezos and Elon musk's
• 1:42
  SpaceX. Stay tuned as we dive a little
• 1:46
  bit deeper into these stories and their implications for the
• 1:48
  future of transportation and space exploration.
• 1:53
  Relativity space is a company known for its ambition to
• 1:56
  revolutionize rocket manufacturing and it's preparing
• 1:59
  to launch the world's first 3D printed rocket.
• 2:02
  The Terran one, the rocket is expected to lift off from Cape
• 2:05
  Canaveral. And if successful, it will
• 2:08
  become the largest 3D printed object to reach orbital flight.
• 2:12
  Velocities Terran one is the brainchild of.
• 2:15
  Tim Ellis, a former engineer at Jeff Bezos.
• 2:18
  Is startup blue origin in the rocket is relativity space.
• 2:22
  First functional model in. It's also the world's first 3D
• 2:27
  printed rocket, the rocket is 110 feet, high, seven and a half
• 2:31
  feet wide and what use nine engines to boost it off the
• 2:34
  ground, it will be able to carry a payload to low earth orbit of
• 2:38
  around 2,800. Lb, Ellis is CEO and co-founder
• 2:43
  of Relativity space wants to take on Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk
• 2:49
  and disrupt the rocket manufacturing industry.
• 2:52
  He plans to achieve this by putting metal 3D printers at the
• 2:57
  core of the manufacturing process.
• 2:59
  Now, Ellis believes that 3D printing will allow his company
• 3:03
  to build Rockets much more quickly than traditional,
• 3:06
  manufacturing methods and the company's printers can put
• 3:09
  together a rocket in just 60 days competitors.
• 3:13
  On the other hand will take between one and two years to
• 3:16
  build a rocket. According to the company's
• 3:18
  website, now SpaceX is Starship can be built with A few months
• 3:23
  as well. So relativity, space and Space X
• 3:27
  is Starship are neck and neck. As far as speed goes now, the
• 3:31
  printer is used by relativity. Space are not just fast, but
• 3:35
  also flexible and smart, they use capable learning Ai and
• 3:41
  algorithms and they learn from their mistakes and collect data
• 3:45
  during printing to improve their future.
• 3:48
  Prince relativity space is even developed its own aluminum
• 3:52
  alloy. Boy for use in 3D printing the
• 3:55
  company's rocket engines called a on.
• 3:57
  A e0n are also 3D printed and these engines use a mix of
• 4:02
  liquid oxygen and liquid methane to propel themselves forward and
• 4:07
  Taryn, one has nine a on one engines powered through its
• 4:11
  second stage. Now helices is race to Mars is
• 4:15
  more of a collaboration than a competition with SpaceX.
• 4:18
  He believes that both companies can work together to achieve
• 4:21
  their goals in Relativity space. That goal is to print a rocket
• 4:25
  on Mars using its printers, the company believes that it's
• 4:29
  printers can be used to build an industrial base on Mars in the
• 4:33
  3D printing will play a critical role in establishing a permanent
• 4:37
  presence on the planet. Now this tear in one launch,
• 4:41
  it's just a step forward for Ellis is real goal to build a
• 4:45
  much bigger rocket called tearing our and the rocket will
• 4:49
  almost be entirely 3D printed and will be e, 100% reusable.
• 4:55
  It should be able to carry around 20 thousand kilograms of
• 4:58
  payload. And is the rocket that Ellis
• 5:00
  wants to send the Mars relatively space has teamed up
• 5:03
  with impulse space. Also founded by a former SpaceX
• 5:07
  propulsion CTO and co-founder, Tom Mueller, to set an ambitious
• 5:12
  timeline for its products. They aim to sent Aaron are to
• 5:15
  Mars by 2024 and if successful, it would be the first ever
• 5:21
  commercial mission to the Planet in the may even be SpaceX to the
• 5:26
  pooch on this one. Ellis is confident that his
• 5:30
  company can achieve its lofty. Ambitions though a Skeptics have
• 5:33
  expressed doubts. About the company's ability to
• 5:36
  compete with established rocket. Manufacturers, Ellis is ready to
• 5:39
  put his printing technology to the test.
• 5:42
  He believes that 3D printing is the key to stir up Ting, the
• 5:44
  rocket manufacturing industry and the Terran one launch is
• 5:48
  just the beginning, Ellis said people are quite pumped,
• 5:52
  especially given, this is such a unique launch with so many first
• 5:57
  for not just relatively Petit. But for the industry, whatever
• 6:00
  the outcome is with as less and learn.
• 6:02
  We're going to really have very interesting.
• 6:08
  Times ahead and after they bring their printer to Mars, they're
• 6:14
  going to start building out. A lot of the food storage water,
• 6:17
  storage other industrial equipment.
• 6:20
  And they'll need to initially sustained kind of early seeds of
• 6:24
  people there. Now relativity space is a new
• 6:28
  space rocket company and still the company has a lot to prove.
• 6:33
  And as evidenced by its latest valuation, which like many other
• 6:37
  tech companies, Dropped by 28% from 4.2 billion dollars in
• 6:42
  mutual fund giant Fidelity's. Estimation in July.
• 6:47
  Ellis said, I don't think anyone's chilling right now.
• 6:49
  It's long hours and people are working hard, but I can say
• 6:52
  we're not scrambling to fly. We've been ready.
• 6:54
  Now, for some time, Now, people are quite pumped, especially
• 7:00
  given, this is such a unique launch with so many first for
• 7:03
  not just relativity. But for the industry, Ellis
• 7:06
  said, among the first tests in this launch, which is dubbed.
• 7:11
  Go luck or good luck. Have fun.
• 7:13
  Glhf, for short is that it's the first 3D printed rocket in the
• 7:18
  first flight test of methane-oxygen fuel the engines.
• 7:21
  Now, Ellis said, there's always a chance for surprises,
• 7:26
  especially with It's you just can't test on the ground.
• 7:30
  I believe. If anyone has a shot to do this
• 7:33
  we certainly have a chance, whatever.
• 7:35
  The outcome with this lesson learned, we're going to really
• 7:39
  have very strong momentum. Going into Taryn are now
• 7:45
  relativity. Space is a new space company but
• 7:49
  SpaceX has been around for a while and so has Tesla.
• 7:54
  Now we're going to get it a Tesla in a little bit but I want
• 7:56
  to You about the people that helped us here and keep our
• 8:00
  lights on basically Starship shirts.com, if you're a space
• 8:05
  enthusiasts, if you're a tech Enthusiast, if you're an Elon
• 8:09
  Musk done, go to Starship shirts.com, that Starship
• 8:13
  shirts.com, where you can get all the merch t-shirts, hats
• 8:18
  stickers, everything related to Elon Musk companies, Tesla
• 8:22
  SpaceX, NASA space themes, turn shirts as well.
• 8:26
  So, please take a second and check them out.
• 8:29
  Now let's talk about some Tesla and nhtsa news.
• 8:35
  That's a national highway, traffic, safety administration,
• 8:39
  and they're launching an investigation into Tesla and
• 8:44
  this is for a fatal crash involving a Tesla Model S and a
• 8:47
  fire truck from the Contra Costa County, Fire Department in
• 8:51
  California. The agency is also investigating
• 8:54
  the autopilot system of people Tesla's crashing into parking
• 8:59
  emergency vehicles, which has led to 14 incidents Nationwide.
• 9:04
  The nhtsa is investigating how the autopilot system detects,
• 9:08
  and response to emergency vehicles, parked on the highways
• 9:11
  and the driver of a 2014. Tesla Model S was killed in the
• 9:16
  crash and a passenger was critically injured for
• 9:19
  firefighters. Were treated for minor injuries,
• 9:22
  injuries and the 1.4 million dollar ladder.
• 9:26
  Work was damaged as well. Moreover nhtsa is also
• 9:30
  investigating steering wheels that can detach from the
• 9:33
  steering column on as many as to 120,000 model.
• 9:37
  Why SUVs the agency received two complaints in which 2023 model
• 9:42
  wise, were delivered to customers with a missing bolt.
• 9:45
  Holding the wheel to the steering column.
• 9:47
  The agency says in documents posted on his website that both
• 9:50
  instances happened, when the SUV's had low mileage on them
• 9:54
  and in one complaint filed by By the nhtsa in owner said, he was
• 9:58
  driving with his family. In Woodbridge, New Jersey, when
• 10:02
  the steering wheel suddenly came off on January 29th, five days
• 10:06
  after the vehicle had been purchased.
• 10:10
  Now, the nhtsa has been more aggressive in pursuing safety
• 10:13
  problems with Tesla's in the past year.
• 10:15
  And now it's a multiple recalls and investigations.
• 10:18
  And the agency is opened investigations into Tesla's
• 10:21
  breaking suddenly for no reason, suspension problems and other
• 10:25
  issues. With a vehicles in in February,
• 10:29
  the nhtsa pressure, Tesla into recalling nearly three hundred
• 10:33
  and sixty three thousand vehicles with full self-driving
• 10:38
  software because the system can break traffic laws.
• 10:42
  The US Department of Justice has also asked Tesla for documents
• 10:46
  about full self driving and autopilot.
• 10:51
  Now test the says, in its owner manual, the neither autopilot
• 10:55
  nor full self driving You can drive themselves in the owners
• 10:58
  must be ready to intervene at all times in nhtsa has sent
• 11:03
  investigators to 35 Tesla crashes, which they think that
• 11:08
  the automated systems are suspected of being used. 19
• 11:12
  people have died including two motorcyclists.
• 11:16
  Now, the system is being tested by 400,000 Tesla owners on
• 11:22
  public roads. Now the nhtsa said and documents
• 11:27
  that it can make unsafe actions such as traveling, straight
• 11:30
  through an intersection from a turn.
• 11:32
  Only lane going through a yellow traffic light, without proper
• 11:36
  caution, or failing to respond to speed limit changes.
• 11:40
  And as these investigations go on, we'll continue to bring you
• 11:43
  the latest news about Elon musk's Tesla.
• 11:46
  And also will bring you some relatively relativity spaces,
• 11:50
