Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2017 is not just about gadget and gaming, the event also caters the most recent technology in automobile, like those hybrid types or even the driverless cars and all-electric vehicles.

Automobile enthusiasts are looking forward to the CES 2017, which will be held in Las Vegas on January 5–8, 2017. It will be just a few sleeps away before the event starts and the hype about it increases by day. One of the most anticipated automobile manufacturers is Tesla, since it is expected to give updates on its hybrid cars.

Also, Faraday Future is being talked about for its promise of unveiling a customizable vehicle that can be a good alternative to Tesla Model X, News 18 reported. However, it is still unclear whether the unannounced car will have driverless feature or will be partly driverless.

It was in 2016 when Faraday Future attended the CES 2016 with a grand entrance as it boasted its all-electric vehicle that has 1,000 HP of power, called the FFZERO1. The company made a deal with a China-based company, LeEco, to unveil a 100-percent autonomous concept car it calls the LeSEE.

Popular brands like Ford are also expected to join CES 2017 as the company takes pride of its most recent self-driving vehicle called Fusion Hybrid. Chrysler also jumps into the bandwagon with its own electric vehicle, which is reportedly a minivan that is based on the Pacifica.

Mercedes Benz is on the verge of presenting two of its vehicles as well. The already announced Vision Van and Generation EQ electric sport utility vehicle (SUV) are said to be seen at the event, with the former model installed with high-tech drones.

Other vehicle manufacturers that will be seen at CES 2017 are Volkswagen with their Concept ID that has an expansive "rolling lounger," Toyota with a mystery concept car, Nissan with its alleged Leaf electric and Hyundai with its Ioniq.
