Now, LA-based Faraday Future is making that experience a reality. At its California headquarters, the company recently unveiled the FX Super One, a tech-packed electric vehicle featuring the F.A.C.E., short for Front AI Communication Ecosystem. This expressive LED grille gives the car personality, allowing it to connect through light, sound and even emotional cues.

Experts predict race to clean up space junk could lead to war
As an international relations scholar who studies space law and policy, I have come to realize what most people do not fully appreciate: Dealing with space debris is as much a national security issue as it is a technical one. Considering the debris circling the Earth as just an obstacle in the path of human missions is naive. As outer space activities are deeply rooted in the geopolitics down on Earth, the hidden challenge posed by the debris is the militarization of space technologies meant to clean it up. To be clear, space debris poses considerable risks; however, to understand those risks, I should explain what it is and how it is formed. As outer space activities are deeply rooted in the geopolitics down on Earth, the hidden challenge posed by the debris is the militarization of space technologies meant to clean it up.

Founders of EVelozcity, all former members of auto tech startup Faraday Future, include designer Richard Kim (left), CEO Stefan Krause tech lead Ulrich Kranz. SAN FRANCISCO -- The newest electric car start-up vows it will learn from Tesla's mistakes by echoing Apple's iPhone moves and designing -- but not building -- its vehicles, with its sights set more on the economy market. EVelozcity, a company based in Los Angeles founded by veterans of BMW and electric car start-up Faraday Future, revealed Tuesday it had secured $1 billion in funding from an unnamed group of U.S., European and Chinese backers. The company plans to design and engineer an electric car and leverage third-party contractors for everything from self-driving car software to manufacturing.
