The 2017 Consumer Electronic Show (CES) just wrapped up in Las Vegas, NV January 8th and it had all the latest and greatest technology concepts.

It’s no surprise that technology integration is creating a stronger presence in the automotive industry which is why there were 138 exhibitors featuring 9 automakers who debuted the hottest vehicle technology at this show including 11 Tier 1 suppliers.

5 Technology Concepts Revealed

Automotive News listed the top technology revealed at the 2017 Consumer Electronic Show, including the following 5 concepts.

#1 HoloActive Touch

This technology was introduced by BMW AG and marketed for luxury vehicles which allows a virtual image of the center console display allowing motorists to activate infotainment without actually touching the console.

#2 Augmented Reality Head-Up Display

This technology was introduced by Continental AG and also marketed for luxury vehicles.

#3 Biometrics Identification

This technology was introduced by Gentex Corp. and marketed for cars and trucks allowing them to have a mirror-integrated system that identifies the driver and can then start the vehicle and personalize their settings.

#4 Alexa Integration

This technology isn’t necessarily new; however, its integration into Ford cars and trucks is. Similar to Alexa’s original use, controlling your home’s lights, security systems etc from outside your house, Amazon and Ford are working together to integrate that process into your vehicle with the ability to control those home functions from your car.

#5 Delphi’s Self-Driving Tech

This technology was introduced and created by Delphi for autonomous vehicles. Fully autonomous vehicles are out there, but their technology is still being tested and approved; however, Delphi’s technology is improving with 35 sensors and long-range radar and lidar and should be highway ready soon.
