Between all the connected home tech, giant 8K TVs and robots, the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show didn’t let down automotive enthusiasts.
Many of the world’s biggest car makers exhibited at the annual mecca to Las Vegas, which serves as a glimpse into the future of technology, by dominating much of the North Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center, as well as surrounding facilities. And it didn’t seem to matter the Sin City event falls just a week before the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The following is just a small sampling of some amazing automotive tech coming down the road – pun intended – most of which debuted at CES.
Toyota brought its latest self-driving car prototype to the 2019 CES, based on its Lexus LS flagship sedan, the LS-500H. Called “Guardian 4.0,” this technology assists drivers when an accident might “feel” imminent, by automatically correcting a drivers over-steering or braking. Over the previous iteration, Guardian 4.0 includes additional cameras on the sides of the body, two new imaging sensors, plus there’s also enhanced onboard radar and a lidar system, which includes eight scanners.
On a related note, Intel and Mobileye also demonstrated its solutions for a safer, smarter autonomous future, with a section of the Intel booth devoted to self-driving technologies.
