Car-Tech Trends From CES 2023

Published

The CES show in Las Vegas, which used to be called the Consumer Electronics Show, usually has cars and technology that are more advanced than what you might see at a regular auto show. This year, Edmunds went and reported on the most significant automobiles as well as what new technology car buyers may see in the coming years.

THE TALKING CAR FROM BMW

BMW had one of the more innovative concepts at CES. The I Vision Dee is a talking electric car with artificial intelligence that “will go well beyond the degree of voice control and driver assistance systems we are familiar with today,” according to BMW.

“Dee” is an acronym that stands for Digital Emotional Experience. One important feature is a high-tech head-up display that can project virtual reality onto the windshield and show driving information on the whole windshield. BMW claims that the AI can become excited when it sees you and convey emotions through screens on the front grille.

As if that wasn’t enough, the I-Vison Dee has 240 e-ink panels, including the wheels, that allow it to change colors at will. You could drive a purple car one day and then switch to a checkerboard pattern the next.

These may appear to be far-fetched characteristics, but BMW claims they are real items available in 2025 and beyond.

HONDA AND SONY ARE OBSESSED WITH FEELING

With their new joint venture brand, Afeela, these two well-known businesses hope to thrill vehicle buyers. They displayed their otherwise nameless prototype electric midsize vehicle at CES. They didn’t say much about the sedan’s range or power, but they did say it would have 45 cameras and sensors for automated driving. Afeela also promises “best-in-class entertainment,” A small screen on the grille will show information to both people walking by and the owner of the car.

Honda hasn’t decided yet how Afeela will affect its other upcoming electric cars, but preorders will start in the first half of 2025 and deliveries will start in the spring of 2026.

THE ELECTRIC REVOLUTION OF RAM

The Ram Revolution idea is a sneak peek at what the brand’s first electrified pickup might look like. Some of the most important features are third-row jump seats, a steering wheel that can be pulled back, a glass roof that can be tinted in different ways, and an 18-foot pass-through that lets large items be moved from the bed to the front trunk.

Stellantis, Ram’s parent firm, did not respond to questions about the Revolution’s range or power. Some of the Revolution’s high-tech features may not see production because this was a proof-of-concept prototype, but we’ll know more when the production model is presented later this year. The Revolution is scheduled to go on sale in 2024.

SEDANS GET A DOUBLE DOWN ON VOLKSWAGEN

Volkswagen came back to CES after six years away to show off its first electric sedan, the ID.7. The ID.7 will be large; its 116.9-inch wheelbase is comparable to that of the Tesla Model S. The ID.7 has a range of roughly 435 miles, according to Volkswagen, but that is based on the European testing cycle, so that the figure will be different in the United States.

The ID.7 comes equipped with a 15-inch touchscreen, digitally controlled air vents, and an augmented reality head-up display. VW plans to reveal the final production model in the second quarter of 2023.

VOLVO FOLLOWS A HIGH-DEFINITION MAP

The Volvo EX90 is a seven-seat electric SUV described as a “very advanced computer on wheels” by the firm. According to Volvo, the EX90 will have a range of approximately 300 miles and an electric engine capable of delivering up to 496 horsepower. On the other hand, Volvo emphasized the EX90′s Google HD map integration at CES.

HD maps provide additional detail about road landmarks and other features to improve the vehicle’s awareness of the road. When combined with the EX90′s suite of cameras, radars, and sensors, the more comprehensive maps allow the SUV to have a more accurate sense of its position on the road. Volvo says that the EX90 has all the technology you need to drive with your eyes and hands closed. It won’t be available at first, but Volvo says it will permit it once it can ensure its safety.

Customers can begin configuring their EX90s this fall, but delivery will not begin until early 2024.

EDMUNDS SAYS: We’re wary of some of the claims made about autonomous driving because it’s still a difficult nut to crack, but we’re enthused about high-tech vehicles and color-changing body panels that will be available shortly.

GTA 6

GTA 6 ANNOUNCEMENT: Will the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer smash viewing records? Given the huge interest even now, 24 hours before it’s scheduled to go live, it appears feasible.

Rockstar Games has released a video premiere for “Trailer 1” on YouTube, which includes a countdown to the game’s release on December 5 at 6 a.m. Pacific / 9 a.m. Eastern / 2 p.m. UK.

However, astute watchers observed the GTA 6 Trailer 1 length was released to expose a YouTube flaw. View the mobile video preview while unsubscribing from the Rockstar Games channel using the YouTube app’s search. Notice the “upcoming” tag on the bottom right; the runtime should appear over it.

There might be some spoilers ahead!

Tens Of Thousands Of People Are Already Waiting To Watch The GTA 6 Trailer

The GTA 6 Trailer 1 lasts one minute and 31 seconds. That should give you plenty of time to look at the game. We’ll even get a release date and platform information.

Surprisingly, tens of thousands have already lined up to watch Trailer 1. At the time of writing, about 24 hours before launch, 43,172 individuals were waiting to witness what could be the largest video game trailer of all time.

If you want to join in on the fun, roughly 2,000 people are watching IGN’s own GTA 6 trailer countdown and actively chatting right now.

When Rockstar announced a December release date for the GTA 6 trailer in November, it added, “We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto.” We look forward to sharing these experiences with you all for many years.

“We have had the opportunity to create games we are truly passionate about thanks to the incredible support of our players worldwide — none of this would be possible without you, and we are so grateful to all of you for sharing this journey with us.”

Tens Of Thousands Of People Are Already Waiting To Watch The GTA 6 Trailer

“In 1998, Rockstar Games was founded on the idea that video games could come to be as essential to culture as any other form of entertainment, and we hope that we have created games you love in our efforts to be part of that evolution.”With anticipation at an all-time high, IGN reports that Rockstar appears to have revealed the GTA 6 Trailer 1 release date on a GTA Online T-shirt sold nearly a year ago.

GTA 6 has been rumored since the release of Grand Theft Auto 5 a little more than a decade ago. It was mentioned in passing in a 2020 Kotaku article on Rockstar’s efforts to combat crunch culture at the company, and it was confirmed in a press release in 2022, with the studio stating that development was “well underway.” Later that year, in-development footage from the game was leaked in a large breach, leading to the arrest of a British teenage hacker in connection with the crime.

Since early in 2023, when publisher Take-Two Interactive expected large financial gains in that fiscal year that would be difficult to achieve without the boost from the enormously profitable series, a release window between April 2024 and March 2025 has been speculated.

The $7.9 Billion Lawsuit Against Sony For PlayStation Store Prices Doesn’t Make Sense

Published

on

sony

While that makes for a catchy headline, I’m left scratching my head, trying to figure out what a very expensive lawsuit against Sony for PlayStation Store prices is trying to show.

Sony was sued “on behalf” of 9 million customers in the United Kingdom who purchased games from the PlayStation store last year. A consumer advocate named Alex Neill has filed a lawsuit against Sony, claiming that the customers are entitled to $7.9 billion.

The assertion is similar to what we’ve heard recently from Epic in its struggle against Apple and Google’s app stores, which take a 30% share and don’t allow other retailers on their platforms. Almost the same thing is being said here. Sony charges developers and publishers a 30% share, claiming users have paid higher costs.

According to Sony, the complaint is “flawed from start to finish.” However, a recent development indicates that the case will not be dismissed, and Sony will have to confront the lawsuit.

The $7.9 Billion Lawsuit Against Sony For PlayStation Store Prices Doesn’t Make Sense

Last year, Alex Neill held a Reddit AMA in which all of the case’s glaring faults were exposed, resulting in non-stop roasting and few responses from Neill.

First, there is no proof that Sony’s 30% cut harms consumers, given that the cost is passed on to developers and publishers. This might make sense if Sony titles were 30% more expensive than competitors, but pricing parity throughout the industry, including with rivals like Xbox, demonstrates that this is different.

This may be viewed as a broader industry issue, but the company is singled out here. And anti-competitive rules have nothing to do with controlling how much Sony can take from publishers. Furthermore, it is ultimately up to the publishers to decide the pricing range for their games, which is why some titles are still $60 while others are now $70. Sony does not compel those prices.

We’ve also seen precedence for this, with Epic failing to obtain a verdict against Apple and its own 30% cut in the app store. And, according to industry standards, every company except Epic charges that 30% cut.

And, with that reduced cut, Epic frequently has pricing that is equal to or the same as its competitors, with the cut being primarily an enticing point for publishers (this has had mixed effects, with the Epic Games Store still being profitable after several years).

Losing a $7.9 billion lawsuit would be a major setback for the company. That is more than double what it paid for Bungie and more than Microsoft paid for Bethesda. However, when it comes to the meat of this case, there is none. It consists of two slices of bread. Perhaps one slice.

The legal system and its understanding of the gaming sector can be unpredictable, but the litigation will proceed. However, in its current form, it is quite illogical.’
