Popped up on my facebook ads a couple of times, so I thought I'd investigate a bit ( trawl through the social media marketing)
only to find that it's only social media marketing, and some vague press releasey articles online.

At first glance the marketing seems to be pitching it as a smartphone with wheels,and appropriately they are not launching it at Frankfurt or Geneva, but at CES, the massive Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas.
They seem to be claiming a 300 mile range according to this article and it also says that they have bods from BMW, Nissan, Tesla on board. Oh, and Apple of course, according to their latest (third) Press Release
Design seems to be in Germany, Tech in the US and the rest in the far east.

Anyone cancelling their 3 order? This might get to you quicker

This was the Future Mobility Company before the re branding and has got some heavyweight backers. I've got some mates working on this project and they're pretty serious. A fair chunk of the engineering is being done in the Midlands too. Sadly there are no plans to sell it here.

I hope that dashboard digital display panel is rugged and reliable because that would cost a fortune to replace!




Also, look at the forward vision in the second image. I hope it can be set up to just show selected information when driving at night or else the glare from the screen would be very distracting.
