Are these the top gadgets to look out for in 2017?

The self-driving car has made significant progress in the last couple of years. That's not surprising given that it has the potential to solve congestion, accident prevention and reducing carbon emissions. The pioneers come from the new economy: Google, Uber and Tesla all have partially or fully independent vehicles. However, most of the major car makers have plans to introduce autonomous vehicles by the early 2020s, and were showing off both concepts and future self-driving models at CES. Collaborations with leading technology companies - chip makers NVIDIA and Intel, Samsung and Apple, for instance – were high on the agenda, as was the need for reassurance on the safety of driverless cars. In this context, providing the computing'horsepower' and depth of information needed so a car can assess its environment and make decisions were a major focus for exhibitors in Las Vegas.
