Cars
Some of the vehicles that made it to CEs 2015 brought with them technology that we just can’t wait to see deployed.

Mercedes-Benz F 015 is by far the most futuristic looking vehicle to ever make it off a drawing board, even if it is still a concept. It’s fantastically streamlined, aerodynamic body and spacious, teched out interiors make it a car that’s effectively drool worthy. Let’s not also forget, it’s designed to be a fully autonomous vehicle to boot.

The Elio is definitely one of the better looking three wheeled vehicles out there. With a price tag that’s under $7000, this unconventional yet sleek vehicle has been developed to offer about 80 miles to the gallon which is quite impressive, even if it seems to seat just one person.

Televisions
The competition in the high-end TV segment is reaching a frenzy as the big players like LG square off with some large screen, super cool concepts that should be out sometime later this year.

LG’s new EG9900, 77-inch UHDTV may not be all that big of a deal simply because it sports a 4K resolution and smart TV capabilities, but that will all change with a push of a button, when it automatically curves the display. LG’s new Flexible OLED TV promises to be the very epitome of style, innovation, and brilliant viewing for media consumers.

The 55-inch TCL + Quantum Dot TV is next on our list even though the company may not be very popular in North America just yet. However, with this new tech that boasts the world’s highest color domain coverage ratio at 110%, coupled with Harman Kardon HIFI, their own TV+ OS, and WeChat integration, it could be a media lover’s dream TV.
