Talking Cars 435: Highlights, Hype, and AI From CES 2024
Our podcast team covers the Consumer Electronics Show live from Las Vegas
The Talking Cars podcast this week was filmed at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, where much of the hype has been around introducing artificial intelligence into your car’s infotainment system. But is AI in your vehicle actually going to be useful, or is it just hype?
The electric vehicle market is maturing, and we got to see where automakers are going to take the unique abilities that EVs are afforded with fewer moving parts and more space-efficient layouts, including a fresh take on the minivan form factor. We also discuss why hydrogen might be a viable alternative to battery-electric vehicles in the future, and try to figure out why anyone would want a large LED screen built into their bumper.
