The opening keynote of the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show was hosted by BMW and featured the i Vision Dee concept. KITT and Arnold Schwarzenegger were among the sidekicks who came out on the stage.
The show floor was shared by automotive giants such as BMW, as well as auto tech firms, such as Zero Labs, and tier two suppliers. Sony Honda Mobility and its new car brand, Afeela, would have sounded like a Gran Turismo exclusive a few years back.
The future of the traditional car show is in question with more car news this week than the dedicated LA auto show. A clearer picture of how they will work together and how they will need each other was provided by this event.
Here are the highlights from the Consumer Electronics Show.
The Sony Honda Mobility is called Afeela.
Three years after Sony surprised attendees of the Consumer Electronics Show with its first concept car, the company now has a manufacturing partner in the form of Honda, and a brand name called Afeela. The first model of Afeela will be available to pre-order in the US in the first half of the 20th century.

The car on show has 45 sensors, a digital display on the front bumper, and 3D graphics made using the Unreal Engine. According to reports, the first Afeela car will be powered by a new car platform that integrates driver assistance and self-driving technology. The car brands will use the same thing.
I Vision Dee.
BMW showed off a concept car that can change its color in a matter of seconds. The panels that cover the body are similar to the screens on your ebook reader. The prototype has up to 32 colors and can be used to create graduated patterns.
BMW hopes that the future of head-up display technology will be found inside the i Vision Dee. Replacing a conventional dashboard display with an interface projected on the entire windshield, the driver can pick from a simple, shallow band of driving and vehicle info, up to the entire screen showing a virtual world.

The car, a sporty and compact three-box design that we would love to see BMW put into production, also debuts a new voice assistant system called Dee. This could be more difficult to bring to production than the metaverse windshield or the e-ink paint.
VW ID.7
The traditional approach was taken by VW. The ID.Aero concept has been renamed the ID.7 due to go into production soon. The exterior is covered with a color-changing, illuminated, and electric paint.

BMW has a new augmented head-up display, but the interior of the car has a large 15-inch display. An updated climate control system that starts to heat or cool as the driver approaches, and automatically adjusts air-flow direction to reach target temperature more quickly is one of the new features.
The ID.7 now shows air-conditioning controls on the home screen of the infotainment system, and illumination has been added to touch-sensitive temperature sliders. Finally, it's time.
Volkswagen says the ID.7 will be in the middle of the high-volume segment.
There is a 500-Mile Concept by the PSA.
The Inception is more than 16 feet long and is a demonstration of how the STLA Large electric car platform can fit larger vehicles. The car is fitted with a big 100kWh battery pack that is said to be good for 500 miles.

The total output of the battery and electric motor is claimed to be over 700hp. The car can travel 93 miles of range in five minutes, thanks to an 800-volt architecture.
All of the statistics need to be taken with a pinch of salt since this is just a concept. Peogeot says the concept's design will inspire future vehicles from the year 2025.
The concept vibes continue with a rectangular steering wheel and touch-sensitive controls beneath the driver's thumbs.
There is a chip made by Qualcomm called the digital chip.
The theme of this year's Consumer Electronics Show was how technology firms and automakers need to work more closely together. The clearest example of this was provided by the company that makes the bestSmartphoneProcessors.
The system is intended to be used by automakers and their component suppliers as a comprehensive platform that includes everything from connected cars to driver assistance.

According to the company, the platform is open,Scalable, and upgradeable in order to appeal to as many car manufacturers as possible. The system can be personalized and 888-492-0 888-492-0 888-492-0 888-492-0 888-492-0 888-492-0ed throughout the vehicle's lifetime.
The new processor for cars was designed to work with driver-assistance systems.
The heat belt of the car.
EV drivers will tell you that it is more energy efficient to use a car's heated seats than it is to blast warm air into the cabin.
The Heat Belt is said to sip just 70 watt of energy to reach a surface temperature of 40 degrees centigrade with wires woven into its fabric.

When used with a heated steering wheel and seat, the belt could increase the electric car's range by up to 15 percent.
A car.
There was a fleet of cars demonstrating Holoride at the booth that AUDI had on the show floor at the Consumer Electronics Show. This tech was on display at last year's Mobile World Congress. The answer to the age-old question of "Are we there yet?" is coming from the back of the car.

A virtual world that mimics the movement of the vehicle is created when the system is connected to the car. A virtual reality experience that brings a fantasy world to the journey has been created by AUDI. As the car stops at a pedestrian crossing in the real world, the vehicle stops in the virtual reality so the little chickens can pass The wearer gets points for each chicken they point at a controller.
The EV Charge Network is a competitor to Mercedes-Benz.
The Mercedes-Benz electric car charging network will have over 10,000 active charge points by the end of the decade. The network is designed to charge EV from manufacturers across the US, Europe, and China, with other markets to follow.
When the charge network is finished in North America, it will have more than 2,500 charging points at 400 stations. When creating a route, the navigation system of Mercedes cars will include a charging station, as well as a reservation system, which will allow you to book a charging station at your estimated time of arrival.

Mercedes is the first car maker in the US to get regulatory approval for its Level 3 driver assistance technology. In dense traffic, the system can be used. It is an advanced cruise control that can be relied on to guide the car through stop-start traffic. The system will stop the car if the driver doesn't restart control.
It's called the VergeTS Ultra.
The VergeTS electric motorbike has a hubless motor design where the copper core and magnet ring of the motor are located in the rim of the rear wheel.

It is possible to transfer the motor's power and Torque directly to the road with the newTS Ultra model. The bike can accelerate to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and has an estimated range of up to 233 miles. The battery can be charged in less than 25 minutes.
The less powerful models called theTS andTS Pro are priced at $26,900 and $29,900 respectively, with US deliveries expected to begin later in the year.
The Ram 1500 revolution electric truck is a concept.
Rivian and the Ford F-150 are the only electric pick-up trucks on the market. The 1500 Revolution BEV is a concept that it has shown its hand in. Ram has a plan for its answer to Ford, Rivian, and the electric Chevrolet Silverado, but the truck isn't production ready.
The vehicle is courtesy of Dodge Ram.
The Ram concept has a dual motor, all wheel-drive platform and all-wheel steering. The 800-volt architecture of the truck will allow it to add 100 miles of range in 10 minutes. It's up to you if you hook it up to a powerful power source. Performance figures and the size of the battery are not known.
The cabin has a pair of 14.2 inch displays and a lower screen that can be used as a tablets. The production version of the F-150 has a fold-out table for working on a laptop while parked, similar to the one found on the F-150. A pair of doors open between the cabin and the bed, giving 18 feet of space between the three compartments.
There is a car with a motor.
At the Consumer Electronics Show, there was a partnership between a parts manufacturer and a electronics company. An agreement has been signed to develop a proof of concept for an automated driving system.
It was courtesy of the company.
The software will be integrated with the ADAS. Instead of developing a car of its own, like the Sony Afeela, the goal is to develop systems for other manufacturers.
There is a 70 percent sustainable tire by the company.
The fuel we put into our cars needs to be sustainable as well. The tire made from 70 percent sustainable material was announced at the show. In order to reduce the use of petroleum-based products, the tire instead features soybean oil to keep its rubber compound flexible, and tire cords made from recycled plastic bottles.
It's courtesy of the city of Goodyear.
The tire shows the right properties to deliver strong overall tire performance and represents significant progress towards a goal of producing a 100 percent sustainable-material tire by 2030.
There is an air taxi.
Three years ago the north hall of the convention center was filled with flying taxi prototypes. At this year's show, an auto group announced it will help build an electric plane. It has a range of 100 miles, a top speed of 150 mph, and space for four passengers and a pilot.
The vehicle is powered by 12 electric motors and is intended to be more cost-effective than a helicopter. It can be used for back-to-back journeys of about 20 minutes.

According to Chrysler, the car of the future will log in to your calendar to work out where you need to be and plot the day's navigation with stops to charge the battery. The use of sustainable materials like vegetable-tanned seats, an instrument panel made from recycled ocean plastic, and textile-sourced walnut flooring are some of the on-trend details.
There is a head-up display.
Next- generation head-up displays (HUDs) were a popular topic on the automotive stands of the Consumer Electronics Show. BMW was shown how augmented reality can be used to project richer and more detailed navigation prompt than what is currently available.

Ready Vision uses computer vision and machine learning to detect 3D objects ahead and around the vehicle, then warn the driver. Spatial audio technology can be used to improve the driver's perception of where threats are coming from. The Ready Vision project points of interest and street names are on the windshield.
Zero Labs Electric is a car.
Tomorrow's technology isn't the sole focus of the show. Zero Labs was in Las Vegas to show off the new world of electrical modification of cars. A 1969 Ford Bronco that had been treated to a full restoration with a carbon-fiber body was on the company's stand.
There is a photograph of Dr. PhilLIPS/Ford.
The Bronco is powered by a 100kWh battery pack and has a claimed range of up to 236 miles.
Los Angeles–based Zero Labs uses an EV platform that can be fitted to classic vehicles of various sizes, from a classic car to an old car. Customers can volunteer their own classic car for a one-off project if they choose to.
