CES 2021 is all virtual this year, and bone-crushingly dull to cover by contrast with the tantalizing (if foot-numbing) time we've had covering it live in previous years. Nevertheless we've trolled the Zoom rooms and parsed the squillion email product pitches to bring you the crème de la digital, virtual crème. Mercedes' freshly minted EQ brand made big news with its wall-to-wall Hyperscreen, artificial intelligence and augmented reality were big trends, and we found a fun integrated mirror dashcam to help you share those boneheaded moves your fellow drivers perform (hopefully without damaging your ride).

Mercedes-Benz Hyperscreen

 

CES is all about screens, from Samsung's 110-inch MicroLED TV (just $156,000!) to the 56-inch-wide curved unit that will debut in Mercedes' electric EQS flagship. The glass itself is an aluminum silicate "Gorilla Glass" type material that is highly resistant to scratching or cracking. Let's hope so, because we can envision the screen replacement cost totaling the car before it's too old. That's because the OLED screens in the center and passenger side and the LED/LCD section in front of the driver are bonded to the single glass panel. Also connected: 12 actuators that provide haptic feedback when you touch buttons on the screen. A camera and a light sensor automatically adapt the screen's brightness to ambient light conditions.
