"Here's the thing about CES, though: it showcases fantasies as much as it brings us what's next. People had VCRs (if you don't know what that is, go ask a grandparent or a nearby millennial) in their homes for decades. I am still waiting for flying cars to be a thing. Thus, it's good to take what you see at this show with a grain of salt. Or a gallon of it."
"Still, there is an undeniable trend happening in the auto industry right now: a convergence between cars, autonomous driving, robotics and artificial intelligence. "Physical AI" is the buzzword on everyone's lips, just as "software-defined vehicle" was a decade ago. The term refers to AI technologies that go beyond software and exist in the real world, actually moving around and doing all sorts of tasks."
CES has introduced consumer milestones and speculative concepts while revealing technology trends. The automotive industry is converging with autonomous driving, robotics and artificial intelligence to create embodied, real-world systems. "Physical AI" denotes AI that moves and interacts within physical environments, enabling vehicles and robots to perform tasks beyond software improvements. Industry demonstrations include eyes-off Super Cruise, in-car AI assistants, and future vehicles capable of external errands like picking up dry cleaning. This year's CES is expected to emphasize physical AI and robotics over battery-electric vehicle debuts, signaling a shift in trade-show priorities toward embodied intelligence in mobility.
