In recent years, automobiles have come to play a key role at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the major showcase for new technologies, which will run Jan 5-8, 2017 in Las Vegas. Whether they be all-electric, connected, more or less driverless, or all three at once, the concept cars at CES provide a foretaste of tomorrow's automobiles.

With only a few days to go before the event, much of the speculation about automobiles that will go on show at CES is focused on the first crossover from US-based manufacturer Faraday Future, which pledged a few weeks ago to unveil a high-performance, connected and customisable vehicle that will provide a genuine alternative to the Tesla Model X. It remains to be seen whether this mystery car will be fully or partly self-driving.
