CES 2026 –
AI for the Real World
This year’s CES focused on “physical AI.” AI is thus leaving data centers and finding its way into real products. This article explains what this means for the automotive sector and software-defined vehicles. There were also real innovations at CES in areas such as lidar and cockpit electronics – as well as in processors and other semiconductors, for example.
