balance the originator of the car brought a Segway is called the CES S-Pod move the seat of the self-balancing. The two seats ergonomically designed, large, comfortable and cool appearance.
S-Pod and balance traditional cars, relying gyroscope to maintain balance, but rely entirely on the user tilts the balance of the vehicle body to control different, with the seat a control lever, the position of the seat on the right side of the armrest, which can control the traveling direction and velocity, but is controlled by the brake or moving the center of gravity.
seat top speed of 40 kilometers, the farthest mileage of 70 kilometers, although it freed our legs to make travel more comfortable and efficient, but you can imagine this speed in pedestrian street full of running, but very dangerous, a little attention could Zhuangfei pedestrians will lead to tragedy.
Therefore Segway representation, S-Pod Although officially launched this year, but not for the C-terminal user, it specifically for some of the closed-end traffic environments, such as airports, shopping malls, theme parks, corporate headquarters where .
new Nissan lightweight noise reduction technology
Highlights: let the car quieter and more fuel-efficient
Nissan this impressions a new lightweight insulation materials, make the cabin quieter, while helping improve fuel by vehicleEconomical efficiency.
This structure is very simple lightweight soundproofing material, a plastic film with a crystal structure and combination, can limit the spread of 500-1200 Hz wideband noise, such as road noise and engine noise.
Currently, most of the material for the isolation of this band noise is mainly a thick rubber sheet, and this new soundproofing material Nissan rubber sheet weighs only 1/4 , but it can provide the same level of sound insulation.
Furthermore due to the simple structure of this material, it is cost-competitive in terms of mass production this is almost the same material, possibly even better. Thus, the material is also applied to a vehicle by the vehicle weight or cost limitations.
As the new lightweight insulation materials to reduce vehicle weight and thus also help to enhance certain vehicle fuel economy, reduce the impact of vehicles on the environment. The quiet cabin can make driving more comfortable, improve the overall driving experience.
modern S-A1 electric air “taxi”

In addition, Hyundai has created a special package for this mini-airport taxi, this small building may be S-A1 cities such as air transport and ground transportation effectively connected. There is a small landing at the top of the building, the bottom docking module for vehicles.
BMW i3 UrbanSuite Special Edition
highlights: personal mobility new ideas
BMW hope to use i3 build a new kinds of travel, and that is in terms of personal mobility, the car does not have to be lengthened or large SUV can provide so-called luxury experience, small cars can.
Although this concept car with the traditional version of the i3 is no great difference in appearance, but i3 Urban Suite interior has had some thorough transformation. With a car seat and footrest trendy substituted most of the space, the left rear seat also placed a small table.
i3 entertainment screen flip down from the roof to facilitate passengers watch movies on the road, after the transformation is like a “small mobile hotel.”
In addition, the driver’s seat to be retained and dashboard remains the original style i3 configuration, the power system has not changed. But taking into account environmental and sustainability concepts, interior decoration being replaced mostly from recycled materials to build from.
In addition, i3 Urban Suite is not just a pure show car, BMW has created a specially i3 Urban Suite motorcade drive around town in Las Vegas, will run at CES by APP i3 Urban Suite car to make an appointment to experience a unique travel service.
Honda Augmented Driving Concept
highlights: a novel control
Augmented Driving a Honda designed a new intelligent drive concept car, the biggest bright spot is that it can complete a seamless transition to the semi-automatic driving.
and this operation is accomplished by a unique design of the steering wheel. You can see the car is not on the center console and other traditional car configuration, all functions are accomplished through the steering wheel on the steering wheel is essentially an all-in-one control unit.
Augmented Driving and conventional cars and start driving style is completely different, you want to start the car, the driver need only double-tap the steering wheel; turn on autopilot mode, only the left hand on the steering wheel swipe. In addition, you want to perform manual driving, just press the switch, you can immediately complete the conversion.
The car also eliminates the need for the traditional accelerator and brake pedal, steering wheel operation is still controlled, when the steering wheel is pushed forward, the automobile will be accelerated; pull back the steering wheel, it is decelerated.
In addition to control unconventional, Augmented Driving between automatic and semi-automatic driving, also has up to eight or more patterns, coupled with the vehicle sensor will continue to read take the driver’s actions and analyze their driving intention, so switching between driving modes will be more stable and a better driving experience.
Rinspeed MetroSnap automatic driving car
Highlights: modular cabin
Rinspeed concept introduced MetroSnap autopilot car, in addition to automatic driving function, the biggest bright spot is that it is a “modular vehicles.”
vehicle chassis fixed size, but can be flexibly replace carriages on demand, such as during the day acts as a city loaded container logistics vehicles, the passenger cabin at night can be replaced Shuttle passenger.
According to RinSpeedIdea, replacement car compartment is very convenient, only a few seconds to complete, is a simple, safe and cost-effective means of transport.
MetroSnap with rear motor by 12.2 kWh battery pack, the vehicle maximum speed is 85 km, the charging time can travel 130 km. Since the battery is integrated in the vehicle body, each body of the vehicle after the replacement will be fully charged again.
