NEXYAD’S CES 2022

 January 2022 CES returned to Las Vegas, Nevada. And Nexyad Too. This year saw the opening of the brand new East Pavillon at Convention Center which welcome Automotive section of the CES. The building is huge like usual with several food stands and other commodities. Of course, some space seemed empty because all the cancellations, but in france we say: absentees are always wrong. And two weeks after the show, there is no news about CES Covid cluster.
Nexyad already gives « rendez-vous » for 2023 edition with, we hope, a democar or two. We will drive in the streets of Las Vegas to demonstrate our cognitive AI technology SafetyNex: the best safety score/coach on the market for the best driving experience ever, safe and serene.
And now, an overview of our CES.

 

Big automakers were missing except Stellantis, the 14 brands group displayed numerous cars in the center of East pavillon.

 

Stellantis is the sixth-largest automaker worldwide. Beside big SUVs and Sedans, we noticed the AMI Citröen a micro electric car that allow to drive urban and countryside roads without licence and Fiat 500 with its funny face which seems to laught.  Stellantis Group owns: Abarth – Alfa Romeo – Chrysler – Citroen – Dodge – DS Automobiles – Fiat – Fiat Professional – Jeep – Lancia – Maserati – Opel – Peugeot – Ram – Vauxhall

 

 

Henrik Fisker has presented himself the zero emission SUV Ocean at CES in Las vegas. The Fisker Ocean features the SolarSky, a large solar roof. Thus, the sun’s rays are collected and generate energy which powers the vehicle’s electric motor. The cabin features premium upholstery, floor mats and details made from recycled plastic bottles, reclaimed rubber scrap, used t-shirts and discarded fishing nets from the ocean.

VinFast is a new OEM that comes to us from Vietnam. Coming from Vingroup in Hanoi, the brand did not hesitate to hire experienced executives from, for example, GM, Pininfarina, and build partnerships with BMW, Magna Steyr, Siemens or Bosch. They has presented three new models at CES, but they cover all segments from A to E. The electric SUV brand will soon be marketed in Europe and North America.

VSI Labs drove from Minneapolis Minnesota to Las Vegas (more than 1650 miles !) with their technological jewels. These two labcars are just amazing, they embark the best of hardware, software and connectivity systems for research and demonstration purposes in the fields of Road safety, ADAS and Autonomous Driving. VSI organizes tours across the United States on the occasion of major events such as ADAS & Autonomous Technology Expo at San Jose (Ca) next march.

 


Nexyad is still very interested by computer vision technologies. We Found some companies that provides smart dashcams like Movon or Nextbase ou Stonkam from Hong Kong, which offers a whole range of artificial vision products such as this rear-view camera system with image reproduction on interior screens.

 


At last, this curiosity with the autonomous Indy racing cars. We see there a specimen of these single-seater or no-seater with electronics and artificial intelligence in place of the human pilot. The CES organized a competition, the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC), on the Las Vegas racetrack with its cars that can reach speeds of 175 mph.
