I’ve been to a few motor shows in my 14
years as an automotive journalist. Some of them are pretty busy on press days,
but I’ve never seen anything like the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). There
are more than 3,000 exhibitors and more than 100,000 delegates here in Las
Vegas. It’s ridiculously busy. Amid all the new TVs, tablet computers and Lord
knows how many iPhone 5 cases, there have been a few motoring gems. I’ve
written a report for MSN which I will post a link to when it’s live – hopefully
later this week – but here’s my favourite. In the future we won’t push
dashboard buttons to activate our in-car features. We will use gesture
recognition technology. That’s my arm in the picture, waving over a sensor in a
demonstrator booth on the stand of tech company Harman. To scroll though
infotainment menu pages you simply swipe over the sensor, as you would if you
were using an iPad. I love it.
