Bosch concept car gets personal at CES 2017

bosch showcar ces2017Bosch might be the first name you think of in regards to concept cars, but that’s exactly what they’ve brought to CES 2017.

Bosch is really getting in to the Internet of Things. They are focusing on personalisation in order we get the best tailored experience possible.

Bosch’s unnamed concept car uses facial recognition technology to change a number of settings to suit driver preferences. These range from radio station, mirror position and temperature.

As keys are so very 2000, the company is working on a secure platform that uses a mobile phone in lieu of a key.

If you thought altering the car’s preferences through facial recognition was futuristic, just hold on a second. For you to set your preferred stations, seating position, etc. you do this through a combination of a haptic touch display and a gesture control system.

Touch control and haptic feedback

The technology uses ultrasound sensors that let your hand feel whether it is in the right spot when controlling the interface via a virtual barrier.

The idea is preventing drivers from needless distraction. If the car’s responsibilities include the button pressing typically reserved for humans, it’s one less thing to worry about.

Naturally, all this tech was all put inside an equally futuristic-looking vehicle. It is also packing screens, very many screens. Even the wing mirrors are screens!

Connected city



We just have to wait and see what makes in to our daily drivers.
