Faraday Future<br />
FF91 car<br />
Electric car<br />
startup Faraday<br />
Future debuted<br />
the FF 91 at<br />
CES 2017 in Las<br />
Vegas. It has self-parking,<br />
autonomous driving, a<br />
378-mile range and ubiquitous<br />
screens all around<br />
the cabin. The FF 91 looks<br />
promising, but with production<br />
facilities only existing<br />
on paper at this stage, it's<br />
reasonable to worry whether<br />
the car will ever roll out on<br />
the road.<br />

of your smart devices and<br />
internet-connected products.<br />
But, like a robot, Olly<br />
has deep-learning capabilities<br />
that mean it gets to<br />
know you and your daily<br />
routines over time, and<br />
will evolve to become more<br />
like you and respond to the<br />
patterns of your life.<br />
Lego and robots<br />
go together like<br />
chocolate and<br />
peanut butter.<br />
In a move that's<br />
bound to thrill kids of all<br />
ages, the Danish toymaker<br />
is offering a set of motors<br />
and programmable bricks<br />
that can work with existing<br />
Lego kits and turn them into<br />
motorized or motion-sensitive<br />
toys. Plus, its app can<br />
record voice effects to really<br />
bring your Lego Batman to<br />
life.
