Future Cars at CES
The Consumer
Electronic Show (CES)
ran in Las Vegas from
the 5th to the 8th
January 2017, and the
big part of the show
was about cars that
can detect emotion, or are self-driving or are voice
controlled. Honda’s latest concept, equipped with a
digital assistant named HANA, can detect the
driver’s emotions and play appropriate music.
It can also function autonomously as a
ride-sharing vehicle making money for its owner
while the owner is at work or asleep. If you fancy
speaking to your car, the Oasis concept car might
interest you as it is voice-controlled. Its rear is
designed for cargo like parcels or pizzas, and there is a small garden in the dashboard to make
the space more personal.
If you do not want to interact much with
your car, the self-driving ones will do just fine.
Nissan’s Seamless Autonomous Mobility system
will help autonomous vehicles make decisions in
unpredictable situations.
