Hello everyone,

I am a die-hard tech enthusiast (probably only consumer tech), I am always interested in ever year's Consumer Electronics Show.

I just wanted to create a thread discussing CES 2018 which is currently taking place.

Some of the interesting things I've seen so far would include: Uber self flying passenger drones, LG robot future vision, LG rollable TV, Synaptics VIVO in-screen fingerprint.
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
I saw a short piece on TV about an EEG-based car driving assistant something-something. Do you have a link to that? Seems like a dumb idea to me, especially if you have to shave your head to wear the sensor headgear...
 
LG's 65in roll-able TV is pretty awesome. Soon the day will come where living room's are free to remove the TV as the focus of the room.
