First-Ever Driverless Car Experience at 2014 International CES
To help consumers and industry participants get hands-on with the next horizon in vehicle technology, Bosch is sponsoring a CES Driverless Car Experience at the prominent upcoming trade event.
As part of its dedication to accident-free driving, Bosch is sponsoring the Driverless Car Experience at the 2014 International CES®, (Consumer Electronics Show), a global gathering place for those focused on the business of consumer technologies. The event will be held Jan. 7-10, 2014, in Las Vegas.
“Bosch is proud to contribute to the future of safer driving by continuously developing technologies for a more intelligent and forward-thinking vehicle,” said Mike Mansuetti, president, Robert Bosch LLC. “We predict fully automated driving beyond 2020; however, this event will allow people to experience close up the technologies that mark the first steps on this way and will be available in the near future.”
The Driverless Car Experience will take place in the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) Gold Plaza, located outside of North Hall.
During the event, Bosch technologies applied to two demonstration vehicles include: automated parking and pedestrian protection, based on a stereo video camera, which is being shown for the first time in the U.S.
The Driverless Car Experience also will feature a panel session, “Road to Driverless Mobility,” on Jan. 7, at 3 p.m. in the LVCC, North Hall, Room N262. Bosch’s Dirk Hoheisel, member of the board of management of Robert Bosch GmbH, will join the session’s panel for a discussion exploring the market, technological and regulatory milestones on the pursuit to making driverless mobility a reality.
In addition to sponsoring the Driverless Car Experience, Bosch will highlight two interactive tables at its exhibit, Booth #20812 in LVCC South Hall One, where users will have the opportunity to see how each driver assistance technology works – intelligent headlight control, integrated cruise assist, traffic jam assist, automatic park assist, pedestrian protection and more.
