The LeSEE is meant to be a fleet vehicle, so you can summon it with a smartphone and it will come pick you up or tell you if it's unavailable.

There's still no word yet on when the car will enter production.

LeEco is also a strategic partner of electric car start-up Faraday Future. The LeSEE differs fairly drastically from the concept car that Faraday Future showed off in January, which you can see below.

Called the FFZERO1, the car is meant to be for show and in no way a production vehicle.

Many were disappointed by the reveal of a show car after Faraday Future's hype about creating a Tesla killer.
Faraday Future's concept car can reach a top speed of 200 mph and go from zero to 60 mph in under three seconds.

Like the LeSEE, the Faraday Future car is highly connected. It can learn the driver's preferences and adjust itself to accommodate them over time.

Although there's no word yet on when we'll see LeEco's LeSEE, Faraday Future's first cars should go into production by 2020.
