The Consumer Electronics Show (CES®) is
always a lot of fun. The news coming out and the technology on display run the gamut from the practical to the
fantastical. But if you pay attention, you can sometimes catch a glimpse of the
Next Big Thing. Of course, we don’t know what that will be, but when it comes
to the future of
the automotive industry, we think it’s a pretty good guess that you can
find some hints in what Honda Xcelerator has to offer.
Just what is Honda Xcelerator? It’s a
part of Silicon Valley-based Honda Innovations
and serves as the Honda brand’s vanguard for discovering and experimenting with
new technologies and business concepts. Nick Sugimoto, Honda Innovations CEO,
sums up the group’s mission:
“With our Xcelerator partners, Honda
will explore technologies that can potentially transform its future products
and services, and create new business opportunities.”
At CES 2018, Honda Xcelerator set up a
Global Innovator Showcase to demonstrate technology from six of their
partnerships. BRAIQ seeks to create
technology that will allow your car to learn your driving style, personalizing
the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) experience in order to increase comfort and
build trust in automated driving technology. DeepMap is exploring new and
better ways of developing precise, reliable high-definition (HD) maps and
real-time localization for autonomous vehicles. DynaOptics is looking to boost
the powers of camera sensors to detect and classify objects more quickly and
accurately. That’s only a sampling of what Honda Xcelerator has on display.
Some days, it feels like the future has
already arrived here at Keyes Honda. Did you know that you can take a virtual Honda test drive before
ever coming to our dealership near Glendale,
CA? That’s not the only helpful feature available on our website. You can also
check out all of the Honda
