TAIPEI, Taiwan — Virtual Reality (VR) and autonomous cars dominated the floor and in the video device area at CES this year, there were more than 12 camera manufacturers who offered some sort of 360-degree live-stream capture device. Besides autonomous cars were big at the annual event.
There was also new camera offerings from Nikon, as well as VR from GoPro, but there were also a slew of new companies looking to give consumers the ability to broadcast their life and share more. Nevertheless, autonomous cars are big at the annual event.
For example, 360-streaming VR is going to impact Facebook, Meercat, Periscope and YouTube as a growing cavalcade of streamers come online. Not along ago, cars were an afterthought at CES.
However, in this year, the automotive sector was everywhere—from the so-called autonomous cars and auto-sensing technology to the growing in-car entertainment gear.
For instance, General Motors and Lyft announced a long-term strategic alliance to create an integrated network of on-demand autonomous vehicles in the U.S, while Robot Taxi planned to make its first commercial debut in 2020.
