CES 2018 was held from January 9 through January 12, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. Approximately 300,000 square feet was dedicated to more than 160 automotive-related exhibits, representing the largest area devoted towards the automotive market at a CES exhibition in history. Recently, OEMs and automotive suppliers have used CES to make announcements and showcase products to new audiences.
One overarching theme of the OEM exhibits at CES 2018 was the use of autonomous and intelligent technology to improve safety and the quality of life for its users. Toyota's display showcased a range of intelligent and autonomous mobility concepts to improve convenience. Ford's exhibit focused on improving living spaces by presenting a living street concept and the vehicle technologies to support it. On the other hand, both Hyundai and Nissan emphasized specific driver assist technologies available or soon to be available on their vehicle models.
Automakers also displayed a number of interface systems that aim to make the user experience more enjoyable. Mercedes-Benz unveiled its new Mercedes-Benz User Experience, MBUX, user interface system, designed both to be visually appealing and easy to use. Kia featured two cockpit demonstration units, highlighting technology on the Niro EV Concept, while Hyundai used its own cockpit demonstration unit to emphasize how specific technology can improve the user experience.
