After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
Tesla owners take a ride in the new Tesla "D" model electric sedan after Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, unveiled the dual engine chassis of the new Tesla 'D' model, a faster and all-wheel-drive version of the Model S electric sedan, Oct. 9, 2014 in Hawthorne, California. The D will be able to accelerate to 60 miles per hour in just over 3 seconds.
The world’s automotive industry is on the verge of dramatic transformation. Auto experts predict cars in the not-too-distant future will look very different from what we see on the roads today.

Join Diane for a discussion of the global race for the car of the future and what it will take for the U.S. to win it.
