CES 2018: Urban transportation ideas from the tech world
Vehicles, mobility solutions, and transit ideas from tech?s annual Vegas showcase A host of one of the tech world?s tentpole events, CES 2018, Las Vegas has a lot more going for it than entertainment and ample hotel rooms. When it comes to technology, the city has quietly become an early test site for a handful of urban mobility concepts, from running pilots of autonomous shuttles to testing hyperloop technology in the nearby desert.
But, as an early accident involving the city?s autonomous shuttle underscored, much of the hype, keynotes, and promo videos talking up the future of urban transportation still have a long way to go before truly shifting how we travel and navigate our cities.

We?ll be updating this story throughout the week with new vehicles, prototypes, and announcements.
