FastLane covers the 2014 International CES in Las Vegas
With a record setting nine automakers at the annual International CES this year and more than a hundred other auto-related companies, you might consider CES (formally the Consumer Electronics Show) the first “auto show” of the year. While we may not see any new vehicle launches this week, we can expect to see a host of new technologies, gadgets, services and applications all designed to take your commute to a new level of overdrive.
According to a recent Capgemini study, 51 percent of consumers in all markets anticipate that their next car will be connected. And, automakers are taking note. Consumer Electronics Association industry forecasts predict sales of factory installed vehicle technologies will increase by nearly 20 percent in 2014, to $11 billion – including connected systems like General Motors’ OnStar.
The 2014 International CES promises to deliver a first glimpse into what the next generation of connected cars might include.
Chevrolet connected by OnStar will be making some exciting announcements on the continued evolution of connected vehicles and telematics services during a press conference on Sunday, January 5th. Check back here after 8 pm PST/ 11 pm EST for the breaking news.
While you’re here today, learn about our favorite concepts from the 2013’s Hackathons.
Continue to come back throughout the week for the latest from the show. FastLane will feature an exclusive video booth tour, industry observations from General Motors’ most connected executives, commentary and predictions about our ever expanding digital life from various partners, and of course the latest trends, products and gadgets from CES 2014 in photos, videos and more.
