At what is considered the largest technology fair in the world, the most important innovations were applied to prototypes
The
CES (Consumer Electronic Show) Las Vegas has become the largest technology fair in the world. Between January 5 and 8, a total of 3,200 companies, including 10 Spanish, showed their news to professionals from 173 countries and regions who attended the event, in sectors such as digital health, food technology, games, smart home and other technologies. And of course the automotive industry.
The
revolution of electric vehicles (EV). and technology clearly moving towards autonomous vehicles are two of the pillars on which the world’s leading manufacturers are making greater technological and economic efforts. And again, CES in Las Vegas has become the grand showcase where they all showcase their most recent progress.
In this latest edition
The Hyundai Group has raised that it will have a total of 23 models of electric and hydrogen vehicles in its catalog by 2025, while Stellantis plans to offer up to 55 electric cars and trucks in the US and Europe, also by 2025, across all of its brands .
The German company BMW has advanced the technological and design lines of its future models with the “concept car” i Vision Dee. The name “Dee” stands for Digital Emotional Experience, and that’s exactly the goal: to create a link between people and their cars.
It’s a lounge
can talk to residents, show virtual worlds through your windshield and even change the color. This is achieved thanks to the fact that the body is divided into 240 segments of an electronic tape called “e Ink”. Each segment is controlled individually, generating an almost infinite variety of colors in seconds.
This 100% electric car is able to visually express moods such as joy, surprise and even approval.
BMW i Vision Dee it can also project an image of the driver’s avatar onto the side window.
Somewhat in that spirit, Volkswagen has presented its first fully electric sedan based on the modular electric propulsion platform (MEB) with clever camouflage.
This is the new ID.7, one model has a new display concept as standard, Head-Up-Display with augmented reality, a 15-inch screen and a new climate control system with intelligent air vents offers various functions: for example, it recognizes the driver who walks up to it with his key and starts the interior cool down on hot days or warm up on cold days. In the mechanical part, this car has a range of about 700 kilometers (WLTP).
While the Stellantis group has presented the prototype “Inception Concept” under the Peugeot brand with which they anticipate their future electric cars. Has a
autonomy of 800 kilometers and two electric motors, one in the front and one in the rear, giving it an output of 680 horsepower, with acceleration from 0 to 100 in less than three seconds.
Introduce technological elements such as
the new generation of the i-Cockpitincluding the control system called “Hypersquare” that replaces the traditional steering wheel with a screen with round cells in the four corners.
For its part, the brand of the Stellantis RAM group, leader in the pickup market in the United States, presented its battery electric vehicle (BEV) at CES 2023
Ram 1500 Revolution concept, a visionary roadmap that reflects what the vehicle of the future will be and will redefine the pickup segment. It has four-wheel drive because it has two motors, one per axle. Thanks to the ultra-fast charging technology of 800 volts with a maximum power of 350 kW, you can achieve the equivalent of 160 kilometers of autonomy in just 10 minutes.
In addition to electrification, connectivity and the use of data are increasingly linked to the automotive industry. In this section
Stellantis has announced the formation of Mobilisightsan independent business unit dedicated to promoting the company’s DaaS (data as a service) business and developing and licensing innovative B2B products, applications and services.
Mobilisights products will be made available to a wide variety of entities, including private companies, public services, and educational and research institutions, facilitating data-driven decision making and leading to the development of a broad portfolio of applications and services.
As for the most futuristic vehicle designs, Italdesign’s proposal stands out at CES in Las Vegas 2023, the DeLorean Omega 2040, a curious car that
missing windows and with “gull wing” type doors. It’s an all-terrain vehicle with a raised body and huge wheels, giant wheels. The manufacturer describes it as “a somewhat iconoclastic model”, inspired by off-road racing.
Hyundai also has a peculiar design, which through its company Mobis, a specialist in sensors, software and electrical components, has presented the M Vision TO, an autonomous vehicle focused on mobility. It has
cameras, radars and Lidar sensors that detect objects near the vehicle. In its design it incorporates the so-called “crab-driven electronic corners” with the wheels in each of the corners, and with a motion that allows it to turn and move sideways.
The most important parts for autonomous driving are a few
lidar sensors able to map the environment by means of laser beams. They are fragile, cumbersome and expensive to produce, but Luminar, Bosch, Husai, Innovusion or Auster presented their commercial proposals.
‘Smart’ cab is another concept present in the show, such as augmented reality, driver tracking systems, end-to-end curved screens and
even video games to get through the charging time, the latest from Microsoft, Samsung, Bosch or Continental.
The problem of electrical storage is becoming more pressing
that increases mobility without emissions. There was no shortage of batteries for the home or advertising, such as those from Mercedes-Benz, to create a global charging network.
CES is the ‘gadget’ fair, and therein
you can’t miss Micromobilitywith concepts such as the reinvention of the scooter—now with a rear-view camera—or skates, now electric.
