Automotive Powerhouses Showcase Future of Mobility

The main hall was a testament to the future of mobility. It featured an array of autonomous, concept, and connected vehicles from automotive and tech giants like Mercedes, LG, and Sony. The latter, in a surprising move, unveiled its Afeela concept car developed in collaboration with Honda. This AI-powered vehicle was not only a testament to Sony’s technological prowess but also underscored the increasing overlap between tech and automotive industries.

LG Stands Out with Transparent TV and Live Display

Not to be outdone, LG commanded attention with its offerings. The tech titan revealed its transparent TV, the Signature OLED T, a testament to the evolution of display technology. A large live display at its booth further captivated the attendees, reinforcing the company’s position as a leader in advanced display solutions.

Health Tech Innovations Take the Spotlight

While cars and TVs made headlines, health tech innovations were not to be left behind. The Withings BeamO, a multifunctional health device, and the Abbott Lingo, a glucose level monitor with a companion app, were among the many health-centric innovations introduced at the show.
