Michigan Internet Marketing Club: CES 2016 Promises Major Automotive Announcements

CES 2016 Promises Major Automotive Announcements

The Consumer Reports Cars team will start 2016 in Las Vegas attending CES. While CES has traditionally been where the electronics industry rolls out the latest gizmos and gadgets, over last few years, the automotive presence at the consumer electronics show has exploded. Nearly 500 of the more than 3,000 exhibitors this year will be from the auto industry—both vehicle manufacturers and suppliers will be demonstrating the technologies that will define the future of how we all will drive.

Our team will be meeting with industry leaders, reporting on big announcements, and even driving some of the cutting-edge cars.

Trends We’ll Be Keeping an Eye On

Autonomous Driving – We’re looking for GM, Ford, and Mercedes-Benz, among others, to show how this technology will make driving safer and more convenient.
Electric Vehicles – From General Motors’ announcement of the production version of the Chevrolet Bolt to the first effort of the secretive Faraday Future, electric vehicles will be one of the big newsmakers of CES.
Connected Cars – We expect some bold thinking on new ways to bring your digital life and your vehicle life closer together.
