Tom Coughlin predicts that Advances in AI, Connectivity and Memory Will Power New Products at CES 2019
Next week, Las Vegas is hosting the massive annual CES tradeshow. It will be a showcase for innovative technology that will soon impact our lives in many ways, including transportation, health services and entertainment. In addition, the 2019 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE) conference at the end of the show will give a view of the future of consumer electronics looking out over the next 5-10 years. Let’s look at some things that we expect to see at CES as well as at the ICCE conference.
Driving assistance technology (ADAS) is ubiquitous in new cars. ADAS uses sensors, memory, processing and networking to detect road conditions and provide feedback to drivers—and in some cases to drive the vehicle off the road if there are unsafe conditions. As in the last few years, the 2019 CES will have a heavy automotive company presence, showing ADAS advancements as well as concept cars incorporating even more ambitious technologies. One of those technologies will, of course, be autonomous vehicles.
Real world fleets of autonomous vehicles are now ready for commercial deployment and many auto companies already provide some level of autonomous vehicle technology in their latest models. It is likely that on the show floor and in conference presentations we will see new uses for these AI-driven vehicles how possible problems are being tackled before the technology moves more into the consumer space
Autonomous vehicles are of course highly dependent upon the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI).
