Faraday Future Unveils New Car.
GORANI: New Year means new tech, and the annual gathering of innovators in Las Vegas to find the next big thing is unfolding. A lot of chatter has been around Faraday Future. It's an electric car startup and it unveiled its flashy new product. There was, however, just one issue.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. It seems like it's a little bit lazy tonight.</s>GORANI: The car was supposed to move on its own after an investor prompted it, but it didn't. Not a great presentation to kick things off for the company. CNN Tech Correspondent Samuel Burke is there in Las Vegas. Let's talk about this company. It was a hiccup at the debut. I mean, how embarrassing was it? Was does it say about the actual car?</s>SAMUEL BURKE, CNN MONEY BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY CORRESPONDENT: It was pretty embarrassing for the company, Hala, though that same thing happened to Steve Jobs, so maybe it's a good omen for them. This company, Faraday Future, is quite mysterious. They want to be a competitor to Tesla, but they've been all talk, no walk until last night when they showed their first production vehicle. As you mentioned, zero to nearly 100 kilometers per hour in just 2.39 seconds in front of us. The car has a range -- of course, it's an electric car, so this is the most important part about it -- of about 611 kilometers on just one charge. Maybe if you're the type of person who loses their keys, Hala, you don't strike me as that type of person, but maybe you can use facial recognition to get in the car. And if you are too tired to look for a parking spot or just can't find one, you can actually get out of the car and let it do the searching for you, and then it'll just back into a space. Of course, if it works. And that is after that big hiccup. It left people with some questioning marks. Still, a lot of excitement around this company. A Chinese billionaire who created the equipment of China's Netflix is the big backer of this. So we'll see. But for now, it's living in Tesla's shadow, that's for sure.</s>GORANI: Is it on sale yet?</s>BURKE: Oh, well, you can pre-reserve it. And they don't tell you how much it will cost. Probably between $100,000 and $200,000, Hala, you can pre- reserve it for $5,000 now. Refundable, don't worry, Hala. So I'm sure you'll fork out for a holiday gift for me.</s>GORANI: Yes, right. I wouldn't even fork it out for a holiday gift for myself. We hear you have some wearable technology that could improve people's health. What's that about?</s>BURKE: Well, because I forgot to give you a holiday gift --</s>GORANI: Oh, we have a show and tell. Get ready, everyone.</s>BURKE: -- I'll be bringing you this. I won't be falling live on your show the way I did last year on that skateboard, but this is actually quite interesting because it has to do with health. And so often people say, well, CES is cool but what do they do to improve people's lives? This is a scarf, actually, made for people who live in climates that might have a lot -- or rather, the environments that might have a lot of pollution in them. So it's a scarf that disguises -- you can be like this and be on your bicycle maybe -- disguises what's really inside it, a pollution mask. They have them for men and for women. So I'll be coming back to London with this for you. It costs about 150 euros. That's a big holiday gift for you, Hala. It's worth it just being a few days late. That's all.</s>GORANI: But in Asia, I was in Asia recently and a lot of people, I'd say a vast majority of people, actually wear masks to protect themselves against the pollution and germs.</s>BURKE: Oh, yes, and in Mexico City, you see a lot of folks like that, too. It's a French company, actually, and they said they're going to be pushing hard in Asia and some of those cities that are so well known for having such high pollutants.</s>GORANI: But that kind of looks like a baby onesie for some reason, to me, from this distance. It does, right? Doesn't it? Drones. Talk to us about drones. Some new security measures that companies are putting in place.</s>BURKE: Hala, CES has become all about drones in the past few years. DJI, I remember when that company was just a little small startup. They're still waiting to come and talk to us now that they're the biggest drone manufacturer in the world. This drone that you're seeing right now actually folds up to the size of a water bottle, Hala, but it is important to talk about the security measures because now that there are so many more drones, so pervasive, you know, governments, airports, all around the world trying to figure out what to do. You remember that story that we had back in London of drones actually bringing drugs into a prison not too far from your studio? Well, now, they have what's called geofencing, Hala. These maps that live inside these drones are actually looking around and already have preset areas so they can't go to those areas. So even if I try to fly a drone to a prison which, obviously, I won't be doing any time soon, it will stop me from doing that. The same for the White House. You get too close to the White House, even if you want to keep on going, the drone will stop you. So we're seeing a lot, not just the rise of drones, but what to do to stop drones.</s>GORANI: Right, yes. That's interesting and also, I mean, quite necessary. You don't want all these drones flying in sensitive areas. Thanks very much, Samuel Burke. We'll see you soon. This has been THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. We'll see you same time, same place tomorrow. I'm Hala Gorani. Thanks for being with us. "QUEST MEANS BUSINESS" is next.
