8. Car tech goes auto
Driverless cars and autonomous systems were the running theme for the car tech showcased at CES 2015 as major car brands demonstrated their take on technology that assists or even replaces the driver.
Most eye-catching of all the vehicles on display was Mercedes' driverless car, the F 015 Luxury in Motion (pictured). The concept car is not likely ever to be seen on the road, but indicated Mercedes' intention to develop autonomous car systems.
The car was stuffed full of digital displays controlled via touch, gesture and even eye-tracking.
BMW demonstrated how automated systems can make life easier and safer for motorists. A BMW i3 equipped with the carmaker's ActiveAssist system showed how the technology can prevent the car hitting obstacles, no matter how hard attendees at CES tried.
The ActiveAssist system uses multiple laser sensors to detect when a driver is at risk, and overrides the accelerator input and applies the brakes, in some cases avoiding crashes by mere inches.
BMW and Volkswagen showed off driverless systems that allow cars to park themselves and be summoned remotely from parking spaces to their drivers' location.
Audi decided to show off the maturity of its driverless systems by having an A7 Sportback saloon drive itself along 550 miles of US highway between San Francisco and Las Vegas.
Audi's Piloted Driving system bridges the gap between cruise control and fully autonomous driving by allowing a car to navigate open roads without driver input, handing control back to the driver when it approaches urban areas.
Other car tech was also on display, including audio technology from Harman that creates individual sound zones for each person in a car, and a platform from Nvidia that aims to put a powerful mobile chip at the heart of future cars.
