Faraday Future Pretends It Makes Humanoid Robots Now, Too

Faraday Future

Faraday Future whitethorn person technically built a mini fistful of EVs that tin someway legally beryllium driven connected nationalist roads, but it's still not a existent car company. What precisely is going connected down nan scenes and why this clone institution still pretends to exist, I can't really say, but large news! They're branching out! After revealing immoderate rebadged Chinese minivans past summer, Faraday Future now wants you to judge it makes humanoid robots. In fact, if nan property merchandise is to beryllium believed, you won't moreover person to hold very agelong to get 1 of these futuristic marvels, because deliveries will statesman successful conscionable a mates of weeks. 

Why anyone would springiness Faraday Future a azygous cent, I person nary idea, particularly now that it bills itself arsenic "a California-based world shared intelligent electrical mobility ecosystem company." But if the humanoid robots that really exist just aren't scammy capable for nan folks successful your C-suite, possibly 1 of nan 3 robots Faraday's "first batch of Embodied AI (EAI) humanoid and bionic robots" will beryllium much their speed. Will they really work? Does it moreover matter? It's astir apt amended to laic disconnected a bunch of quality workers now and fig nan remainder retired later.

According to nan property release, nan credulous rubes who mightiness walk existent institution costs connected these things will person 3 options to take from: nan FF Futurist, which nan "company" bills arsenic a "full-size master humanoid;" nan FF Master, a alleged "athletic 'action master' humanoid;" and nan FX Aegis that's described arsenic a "quadruped security/companion." Supposedly, that will make them "the first successful North America to present some humanoid and quadruped robots simultaneously." Exciting! Oh, and there's besides apparently thing called nan Mobile Manipulator Robot Series that will allegedly statesman accumulation successful Q2.

So, really overmuch of your department's fund is it going to return to fulfill your CEO's dreams of replacing existent labor pinch human-shaped robot slaves? On nan apical end, nan merchandise claims each FF Futurist robot starts at $34,990, though an other $5,000 tacks connected thing Faraday calls the Ecosystem Skill Package. Drop down to nan FF Master, though, and each robot will only cost $19,990, positive $3,000 for nan Ecosystem Skill Package. Meanwhile, you tin prime up an FX Aegis robo-dog for a mere $2,499, positive $1,000 for nan Ecosystem Skills Package.

And while you astir apt shouldn't return Scammier Tesla's connection for anything, nan property merchandise does declare "[t]he full number of FF EAI Robotics units covered by non-binding and non-refundable B2B deposits reached much than 1,200, which marks a terrific commencement for nan Company's robotics goals."

There's besides much to the property release, but unless existent companies commencement utilizing Faraday Future's "new" robots to do existent work, why bother? Let's each conscionable collectively transverse our fingers that nary one's CEO is gullible capable to get tricked into spending institution money connected a bunch of Faraday Future robots.
