You Will See This LeEco Self-driving Car in Michael Bay's Transformers 5 Movie

Chinese Internet Conglomerate showcased its LeSEE self-driving electric car, at its gala launch event in San Francisco. However, the launch did not go as planned. Chinese billionaire and LeEco founder Jia Yueting was supposed to ride the self-driving LeSEE car down the runway and make an epic entry. But the prototype of the car refused to drive due to some issues.

"It shouldn't be me running out here, we didn't have any other choice," Jia was quoted in a report by Reuters. "What we wanted was me in the car, and the autonomous car drives me out."

But what caused the glitch?

The misfire was caused by a delay getting the LeSee car prototype from London - where it is being used in the film Transformers 5: The Last Knight) - to San Francisco, according to the report.

So, here you have it. The LeSEE futuristic car will be featured in the movie. But we do not know what it will transform into or whose side will it take- Autobots or Decepticon?

For that, we will have to wait for the release of Transformers 5: The Last Knight in 2017.

The LeSEE car prototype - first unveiled in April in Beijing - was made available for viewing after the show.

LeEco executives said they envision the car as part of a shared ownership system, and said it could benefit from a strategic partnership with Los Angeles-based Faraday Future, an electric vehicle startup also controlled by Jia. No details were given of that alliance.
