China's LeEco has unveiled an electric autonomous vehicle that it says will surpass Tesla's Model S in'all aspects of performance'. Dubbed LeSEE, the sleek pearly white sedan has memory foam seats, Knight Rider-style voice activation, an automatic driving mode and a steering wheel that folds toward the dash when the car is set to autopilot. This futuristic concept car was engineered to be a'smart', 'connected' and'automated self-driving car' and the firm hopes it will set the stage for a fleet of autonomous taxis.

While most of the news coming from LeEco's event in San Francisco was about new TVs and phones, the company's CEO, YT Jia made a point to show off his company's desire to become not just a consumer electronics brand but also an automaker. The LeSee was in an accident on its way from LA and the LeSee Pro was delayed on its way back from London where it was being used by Michael Bay (Yeah, that Michael Bay) as part of the new Transformers movie. The car has no set price and no one knows when it will launch. But Jia noted onstage though that he has a very personal reason for building the car. He wants to clear up the smog problem in China and has a "strong desire to bring back our blue skies." The car eventually made it to the event location but not in time to make it onstage.

Google may have the most self-driving cars on the road and Ford might be testing its driverless vehicles in the most extreme conditions, but Jia Yueting certainly has the most autonomous auto brands under his belt. The Chinese Internet billionaire owns self-driving EV startup Faraday Future, has a big investment in its stealthy rival Atieva, and has partnered with Aston Martin to build a third EV. Now, Jia just revealed yet another self-driving car, under the LeEco brand. At a glitzy event in Beijing, Jia and Ding Lei, the man in charge of LeEco's car business, demonstrated a self-driving concept car called the LeSEE. LeEco (previously LeTV) is Jia's first firm; it was once known as the Netflix of China, but is now diversifying into smartphones, televisions, and original video content. During presentations that veered from enthusiastic to accusatory to emotional (Ding at one point said, "We have gone through the process of being laughed at, to being judged, to being trusted by people"), they managed to make some concrete claims.
