CES 2016

Last year, Delphi used its own technologies to "drive" a car autonomously from San Francisco to New York. The next stage of that tech is what the company calls "vehicle-to-everything" (V2E). It allows vehicles to "communicate" with streets, signs, traffic lights, other cars and even pedestrians.​

The Panasonic ZS100 is a pocketable travel camera which pairs a 1-inch 20.1-megapixel sensor with a big zoom lens. The camera also shoots 4K video and features built-in Wi-Fi.

Headphones are great for listening to music, but also mean that you can't hear what's going on around you. New technology from Harman, however, could change this. Its Audio Augmented Reality (AAR) allows users to hear specific external sounds, such as your name being called.

Not much bigger than a can of soda, the wireless Archt Mini speaker boasts 65 W of output power and 360 degrees of consistent sound quality through its patented multi-directional array module.

Tired of having to remember PINs, or having a wallet full of plastic cards? Well, if EyeLock has its way, you eventually won't have to. It's created an ATM that has no keypad, card reader or screen. Known as the Irving concept, it utilizes an iris scanner and an app instead.​

BRG (Bell, Riddell and Giro) Sports has used CES 2016 to launch a new line of motorcycle, mountain bike and snow helmets featuring 360fly's proprietary 360-degree 4k video camera.

​As might be expected, there are a lot of drones on display this week at CES. Almost all of them have one thing in common, however: people can't ride in them. We say "almost all," as there is one exception. Ehang's 184 AAV (Autonomous Aerial Vehicle) is designed to carry a single human passenger.

As well as displaying its BUDD-e concept at CES, Volkswagen has unveiled a new version of its e-Golf electric compact. VW says the e-Golf Touch is one of the world's first compact cars with gesture control. It also offers wireless charging, electronic voice amplification and personalization options.

The Linux Foundation began a new initiative in 2012 called Automotive Grade Linux as an open-source project to develop common Linux-based software cores for connected cars. Now automakers like Ford, Mazda, and Subaru have joined AGL alongside existing members Toyota, Nissan, and Jaguar Land Rover.

If you can imagine a child safety seat that has its own smartphone app and a car seat that virtually installs itself, then you can see into the future. About six months into the future, to be exact. The latest product from 4moms is coming in June 2016 and that’s exactly what it is.

The Nikon D500 is the firm’s new flagship APS-C DSLR, and one we didn’t know if we’d ever see. The D500 combines a 20.9-megapixel APS-C sensor with many of the high-end features of the new D5, such as a 153-point autofocus system and 4K video recording.

Lego Education has updated its aging WeDo robotic learning system with WeDo 2.0. Geared toward schools, it comes in kit form and is an aid to spark young students' interest in science, computing, engineering and technology subjects.
