Hello. If you’ve read this post, you already know who LeEco is. If you haven’t, well, they’re a Chinese phone company who have beaten Apple to ditching the 3.5mm phone jack.  They’ve released three new smartphones with pretty good specs and they’ve opted for a solitary USB Type-C port, instead and released their own USB-C-powered headphones. That’s all there is to them.

Well…it’s not that simple. You see, I just found out that they’re also making a drive into the electric car market (pun totally intended) too. After throwing cash at Tesla-killer, Faraday Future, and car manufacturer, Aston Martin, they’ve come up with an electric car of their own. Introducing the LeSEE.

I think it looks pretty futuristic. Obviously, still a concept car, it can drive autonomously, and even park itself while listening to voice prompts from its owner, via a smartphone app. It’s got rear suicide doors, as opposed to Tesla Model X’s rear Falcon wings, and Stuff.tv reports that it will make a debut next week, at the Beijing Motor Show.
