Interesting. Skimming the article it sounds like they have a full polymer body? I'd be extremely curious to see how it does in standard crash tests. (I may have missed something -- feel free to correct if so!)

Yeah, nah:

While most components are 3D printed, the chassis, seats, and glass are not.

So I guess that's not 'full body', though I hear metal 3D printing is making big strides lately. I don't know enough to say whether a polymer chassis would be something reasonable for the future.

The article reads too much like a sales pitch, but I also found it interesting enough to post.

Or does body exclude the chassis in automotive speak?
