New sensor Technology

The EU-funded ARTRAC project designed and developed a new radar sensor able to detect the presence of pedestrians in front of a vehicle and to help the driver avoid a collision by either braking or recommending evasive steering away from the person.

LeTV Le Max Pro

Another Android phone. No, not just another Android phone – an Android phone that comes with LeTV’s incredible ecosystem. There's a little white softbutton in the middle of the nav bar that takes you to one of the nicest live video interfaces I’ve seen. The Le Max Pro’s stunning 6.33″ display is put to great use as you browse through a huge array of live content. The on-demand interface is equally compelling. It’s the first phone to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 processor, but this is not a hardware solution. LeTV is on track to become an end-to-end entertainment solution. When they get their US content deals done, this hardware/software combo will be hard to beat!

Ehang 184 Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (AAV)

There were hundreds of drone companies offering thousands of purpose-built drones at CES this year. But one, the Ehang 184, stood out. This is an AAV with a 30-mile range that can be used for search and rescue. You can send it out unmanned and return it with a person inside. Drone ambulance, EMT pod, rescue drone? I don’t know what to call it, except “amazing!”

Gyenno Spoon

Neuromuscular diseases can lead to a loss of motor control, a loss of autonomy and, in many cases, a loss of dignity as the diseases can make even the simplest day-to-day task impossible. One of my dearest friends is a victim of Parkinson’s disease, and it has progressed to the point where he has trouble feeding himself. The Gyenno spoon has the power to help people maintain their independence – it deserves a special award for technologies that truly improve quality of life.
