ROBOTIC DELIVERY DOGS, ROBOTAXIS, AUTONOMOUS DRIVING (AND CLOUD CONNECTIVITY TOO): CES 2019 DAY 2

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive overview of the key trends and technologies showcased at CES 2019, with a strong focus on the automotive sector. The presenters highlight the significant shift from electric vehicle technology, which dominated previous years, to a primary focus on autonomous driving, cloud connectivity, and 5G integration. Major tier-one suppliers like Bosch, Continental, and Qualcomm are featured, detailing their advancements in V2X communication, smart intersections, and data transfer capabilities essential for autonomous systems. The discussion also touches upon the future of mobility, including autonomous shuttles and robotaxis, and the societal drivers behind these changes, such as urbanization and changing consumer preferences. While the video covers a wide array of innovations, it also raises important questions about infrastructure readiness and data privacy, particularly concerning the vast amounts of data collected by connected vehicles. The segment on Continental's robotic delivery dog and Hitachi Clarion's adaptive suspension offers a glimpse into more niche, yet intriguing, applications of automotive technology.
