Ford CEO Jim Farley drives an electric sedan made by a Chinese smartphone giant.

The Xiaomi SU7 is a luxury sedan marketed as being pegged at the intersection of performance and luxury.

Farley sees a similar battle looming on the horizon, this time with Chinese brands, and he's determined to prepare Ford for it.

He said he created the “skunkworks” team because he felt the institution of Ford would have a really tough time competing with BYD .
