16 highlights from the 2024 Consumer Electronics Show

Showcasing a weird mix of wild and wonderful innovations, Las Vegas' annual tech festival CES is back and it’s brought these equally wild and (possibly) wonderful innovations to the vehicle world.

Honda's collection of all-electric future-mobiles starts with the sleeky and spacious 'Saloon'.... which looks suspiciously like a shooting brake.

That futuristic 'Saloon' is quickly followed up by the equally future-leaning 'Space-Hub' concept, a roomy mini-bus type thing.

The Horwin Senmenti X looks like Batman Junior's My-First-Scooter, but this all-electric adventure bike offers over 180 miles of range and has a tonne of tech, including heated seats, and front and rear cameras.

A year on from imagining a Robotic Dystopia, Hyundai showcases a hydrogen-powered, unmanned cargo carrier called City Pod – and gives a new meaning to the phrase 'black box'.

The Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) has created this IAC AV-24, a 190mph autonomous race car. Can't wait to hear AI's take on 'racing driver excuses'...

Underpinning Kia's new range of all-electric, all-connected, all-numbered, all-singing, all-dancing (probably) future cars is a 'revolutionary' platform better explained here.

Mullen's Five RS is a 1000bhp, high-performance sport crossover EV, rumoured to be targeting the Nevera, Tesla's Plaid variants and now Porsche Taycan, for superlative super-speed success.

This fully restored 1967 Mustang Fastback is wildly gorgeous. It’s called Lightning because it’s been programmed to respond to you – lighting up as you approach, ‘going to sleep’ as you walk away. Hope you didn’t forget something.

This all-electric two-door subverts the trending style of today's complex cockpits with its American retro coachbuilding design added to a Chinese-built EV skateboard.

Sony and Honda collaborated to create this, the Afeela, an electric saloon set to hit driveways from 2026 – there is a version that, er, comes with body panels.

This is the T10F from Turkish EV brand, Togg, due to go on sale next year and promising to have serious power-bank capacity to charge your other devices.

Vietnam's VinFast is on a mission to create affordable EVs, starting with the VF01. Priced at a more wallet-friendly £16k, that's pretty wild...

Wild by name, wild by ambition, Vinfast's pure electric debut pick-up is the company's attempt to break into the truck market (and no doubt win a bit of US love).

Joining the growing list of carmakers set to put ChatGPT into their cars, VW brought a spicy Golf GTI (and a less funky ID.7) to the CES 2024 party.

There's a few more-than-wild projects to put cars in the sky, including this one by Xpeng.

Straight outta the wild mind of music innovator and tech investor will.i.am, Merc's Sound Drive takes sensor data from your car and creates a song for you to drive to. Should work great in a traffic jam.
