Faraday Future takes on Tesla at CES with FF 91, the electric car that can learn

It has F1 acceleration and a 'driverless valet' system but concerns persist the sedan may never go into production

Electric car company Faraday Future unveiled "a new species" of car in Las Vegas on Tuesday night: an electric sedan that will have the acceleration of a Formula One car and the ability to learn and adapt to the driver.

The FF 91, which the company says will go into production in 2018, would see Faraday Future compete with Tesla for the electric sports car market. The FF 91 has 1,050hp and can accelerate 0-60mph in 2.39 seconds, while the Tesla Model S P100D can reach 60mph in 2.5 seconds.
