Hydrogen Energy and AI Integration Highlighted at CES 2024

Automakers Unveil Future Plans for EV Development and In-Car Tech Ecosystems

Hyundai and Bosch Mobility have both announced plans to utilize hydrogen energy in their future vehicles, a move encouraged by the U.S. government's $7 billion investment in hydrogen infrastructure.
Honda unveiled two concept vehicles, the 'Saloon' and 'Space-Hub', as part of its Zero Series approach for EV development, focusing on models that are 'thin, light and wise' with minimized battery size and weight.
Kia introduced a trio of electric vans that can quickly swap body modules from cargo haulers to taxis and other purposes, with production set to begin in 2025 in South Korea.
Mercedes-Benz showcased updates to its infotainment systems, including a new AI-powered virtual assistant, while other automakers are partnering with Google to pre-install apps such as Google Maps and Assistant in their vehicles.
Honda also announced its independent development of solid-state batteries, aiming to apply them to the Zero Series by the late 2020s. Solid-state batteries are more stable and potentially more powerful than the currently more common lithium-ion batteries.
