This 8-K furnishes a corrected press release detailing Faraday Future's significant strategic expansion into the Embodied AI Robotics market. The company has launched three robot series (FF Futurist, FF Master, FX Aegis) with announced pricing and plans for initial deliveries by the end of February.
