5 car innovations from the CES show in Las Vegas that could change the future of driving
From Sony’s first electric car to a flying car from China and BMW’s new heads-up display, five notable innovations from the CES tech fair
These five innovations from CES, the annual consumer electronics trade show held in Las Vegas, could shape the future of cars.
1. Sony’s Afeela 1
The premium-priced car first broke cover a while back, but at CES, Sony announced the final specs, cost and delivery details for its first electric vehicle.
Starting at US$89,000 for the entry model, the car will be launched on the US market in mid-2026 and the rest of the world after that.
2. New Honda O-series models
Honda announced two coming zero-emission models in its new O-Series: a limousine and an SUV. The company says it wants to focus on cutting-edge infotainment tech, and the cars will have wraparound screens across the dashboard and in front of the rear seat.
3. Xpeng flying car
Flying cars have had trouble getting off the ground in recent years, prompting Chinese company Xpeng to go its own way.
With over 3,000 order commitments already secured, this could become the world’s first mass-produced modular flying car.
