Our take

The world of transformative vehicle technologies goes far beyond household-named companies like Tesla. Faraday Future is creating user-centric technology first vehicles, establishing new paradigms in human-vehicle interaction by combining mobility with artificial intelligence, the internet, and advanced R&D technology, effectively changing the way we travel.

Electric vehicles offer more flexibility in terms of space utilization, and the design of Faraday Future’s EVs is unmatched. Designed with "TechLuxury" in mind, the vehicles were designed from the inside out, building a vehicle around a truly unique interior. The company is integrating TTS technology from Cerence, bringing a human-like quality to its in-car assistant.

The automotive startup has faced supply chain challenges affecting the entire industry but has received staggering amounts of funding to accelerate growth and the development of this Faraday X (FX) strategy. With its first two FX prototypes set for testing in Los Angeles very soon, the company is poised for exciting progress in its innovations.
