The annual CES (Consumer Electronics Show), once populated almost entirely with the likes of television sets, video players, stereos and audio gear, has over the last few years rapidly zoomed to prominence as a top-tier venue for debuting automotive technology.

BMW, Intel and Mobileye announced they’re readying a fleet of about 40 autonomous BMW vehicles for on-roads use by the second half of this year. The BMW 7 Series will employ cutting-edge Intel and Mobileye technologies during global trials starting in the U.S. and Europe.
