The glitz and glamor of CES 2024 are upon us once again, and the 2024 edition is packed with futuristic gadgets, groundbreaking technology, and enough AI to make even HAL 9000 raise an eyebrow.
From Nvidia’s next-gen GPUs to a pocket-sized AI companion and an autonomous semi truck promising to revolutionize trucking, here’s a taste of what’s already turning heads.
CES 2024 Day 2 recap
CES 2024 is a testament to the relentless pace of innovation. We’re moving beyond mere gadgets and devices, entering a future where technology seamlessly integrates into our lives, enhancing our health, productivity, and even our daily routines.
Hyundai takes the flight, literally
Hyundai takes flight! Forget gridlocked highways, because the South Korean automaker is showcasing its eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft, ready to whisk you through the skies in a personal flying taxi. Imagine zipping from rooftop to rooftop, dodging rush hour like a superhero, and landing with the grace of a mechanical butterfly.
Hyundai’s air taxi isn’t just a concept – it’s a glimpse of the future, where commuting takes on a whole new dimension, and traffic jams are a thing of the past.
Pocket AI: Your tiny, wise sidekick
Move over, Alexa! CES 2024 introduces a revolutionary concept: pocket-sized AI companions. Imagine a device smaller than your smartphone, packed with artificial intelligence that offers personalized advice, translates languages in real-time, and even controls your smart home while snuggled in your pocket.
It’s like having a miniature Yoda on the go, ready to dispense wisdom and maybe even levitate your keys if you ask nicely.

Kodiak’s autonomous semi truck
Get ready for a revolution on the road. Kodiak, a leader in autonomous trucking, has unveiled its latest creation: a fully autonomous semi-truck ready to hit the highways. This behemoth of technology promises safer, more efficient freight transport, potentially changing the face of the trucking industry and perhaps even opening the door to self-driving delivery trucks dropping your groceries at your doorstep.
ElliQ’s eldercare robot gets a silver lining
This ain’t your grandma’s rocking chair! ElliQ’s eldercare robot is back with a sleek reboot, packing more AI smarts and companionship than ever before. Imagine a friendly R2-D2 reminding your grandpa to take his meds, playing his favorite tunes, and even engaging in witty banter (no circuits fried, I promise). This upgraded robo-friend is ready to redefine senior living, one chatty beep-boop at a time.
Skyted’s voice-capturing mask: Sing like no one’s listening (Except the AI)
Forget shower karaoke – Skyted’s mask is here to capture your vocal stylings like a studio mic on steroids. This mask analyzes your singing and offers real-time feedback, like a personal vocal coach tucked right under your nose.
Hit those high notes with confidence, because even if the neighbors hear, the AI will be the only one judging your off-key warbles.
But how? Let the SKYTED Official YouTube channel explain:
The wellness trifecta takes charge
Move over, kale smoothies and mindfulness apps – CES 2024 is serving up a wellness buffet of tech-powered solutions. Serenity tackles stress with AI-driven meditation, Vivoo monitors your heart health with a fancy armband, and Tack One tracks your activity like a hyper-aware Fitbit on steroids.
Get ready to optimize your body and mind, one beep, buzz, and guided breathing session at a time.
Sharing is the new hoarding
Forget walled gardens, CES 2024 says! Google and Samsung, tech titans, are playing nice, with Google Maps seamlessly integrating into Samsung’s ecosystem. Imagine plotting your next adventure on your Galaxy phone, then effortlessly transferring it to your car’s navigation system. It’s a digital handshake that says, “Let’s make getting lost a thing of the past”.
Road trip revolution
Buckle up, wanderlust warriors! Honda and VinFast are unveiling AI-powered vehicles that navigate like seasoned road trip veterans at CES 2024.
Google Maps, naturally, takes the wheel (virtually, of course), suggesting scenic detours, hidden gems, and the perfect roadside diner for that greasy spoon fix. Hit the open road with confidence, knowing your digital copilot has your back (and snacks).
Tiny scooter, big fun
Move over, electric bikes – the rabbit r1 is also at CES 2024 to hop into your heart (and down city streets). This foldable electric scooter folds up like a origami masterpiece, fitting neatly in your backpack or office cubicle. Zip through traffic jams, conquer sidewalks with glee, and park it wherever your heart (and the nearest outlet) desires. Urban mobility just got a whole lot cuter.
Shelves to shelves (virtually)
Walmart’s getting tech-savvy, folks! They’re deploying AI-powered robots to manage inventory, optimize stocking, and even greet customers (with a friendly whir, not a creepy smile, I promise). This is warehouse automation on steroids, promising faster checkouts, fuller shelves, and maybe even robotic high fives for exemplary shoppers.
So there you have it! CES 2024 isn’t just about gadgets – it’s about a future where robots serenade your grandpa, cars plot road trip adventures, and scooters fold like origami dreams. Buckle up, tech enthusiasts, because the ride is just getting started!
