Event Recap: Mobility Innovations At CES 2021

A global pandemic wasn't able to stop the world's largest consumer electronics showcase from happening, although this year marked a noticeably quieter event than most. That wasn't only because the event was virtual but also because there were fewer announcements and companies at the event than in previous years. While the show has become a critical venue for automakers to highlight autonomous and electric vehicle technologies, major brands like Toyota and Ford skipped the show after previously having a large presence, and there were significantly fewer startups than in previous years. However, a small CES is still a major event, and several major themes emerged from our analysis of the show's mobility innovations.
