Attracting over a hundred thousand visitors, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas is also an impressive showcase for automotive technologies.
Taking place from January 9 to 12, this event is the world’s technology hub. All the major companies offering consumers equipment incorporating new technologies are present.
From medical diagnostic equipment to colossal televisions, from earphones offering simultaneous translation in 40 languages to intelligent drones, the world’s companies compete in creativity.
Of even greater interest to our readers, the automotive sector makes a very strong showing at this show, which occupies an area comparable to the SEMA and AAPEX shows combined.
Major trends are in evidence. Vehicle empowerment, electrification and fleet management platforms occupy a vast space. What’s more, a large number of electronic equipment companies don’t hesitate to team up with automakers to showcase their expertise in safety and comfort.
For automakers, CES is a major global showcase for the mind-blowing car concepts of the future. We’re talking here about next-generation electric vehicles, or simply concepts demonstrating design feats that may never go into production.
Not forgetting a selection of autonomous transport modules whose entry into service can only adapt to transport regulations and infrastructure upgrades.
Here’s a photo overview of Autosphere‘s favorites from its all-too-brief visit to CES.
