FARADAY FUTURE'S LUXURIOUS, POWERFUL EV

  • California-based Faraday Future will start production this month on a very powerful, luxurious EV with deliveries starting in April 2023
  • The much-anticipated and much-delayed FF 91 Futurist has been the talk of the automotive world for some time
  • Faraday calls the vehicle not just an electric car but a "supercar robot that provides the 3rd internet living space"
  • The EV is powered by 3 electric motors with 1 in the front and 2 in the back
  • It delivers huge power with 1,050 hp
  • The EV accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in less than 2.4 seconds
  • 130-kWh battery has a range of 482 miles on a charge when the EV is keep to a cruising speed of 55mph
  • Top of the line FF 91 will cost more than $200,000
  • Faraday Future, owned by Chinese billionaire Jia Yueting, is currently building a $1 billion EV factory in Las Vegas.

  • The US Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency DARPA is developing a mystery, high-speed plane that doesn't need a runway to takeoff or land
  • DARPA's goal is to enable the plane to land on & takeoff from any, unprepared surface
  • Initial military uses include combat medical evacuations and helping soldiers get to remote locations
  • The mystery plane is likely to have vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities and short takeoff and landing (STOL)
  • Capabilities like the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor
  • DARPA technological breakthroughs are developed to provide the US military with overwhelming technological advantages but they have a way of going mainstream like the internet, GPS and flying cars, which DARPA has developed.

  • Japanese technology company Docomo unveiled a small, tea-making robot at MWC 2023 (Mobile World Congress) in Barcelona
  • What is uniquely important is that the little robot is guided by motion-sharing technology & motion detectors that enable it to mimic a human counterpart in real-time
  • The motion can be recorded and repeated by the robot at any time
  • Robotic experts say that the ability of a robot to mimic human action can open-up many real-life uses for robots to do repetitive, menial tasks and free up their human counterparts to accomplish more important tasks
  • The technology behind the tea-making robot could represent an important new avenue for robotics
  • Docomo says it expects be able to operate the tea-making robot wirelessly when 6G networks are deployed.
