Color me shocked. I knew you’d like the CES updates about new tech coming down the pipeline, but wow, I got so many notes about how much you enjoyed it.
I aim to please, so here we go with the rest of the gadgets, gizmos and updates you’ll want to know.
Just mirror-velous
I thought TVs built into mirrors were cool. NuraLogix’s MagicMirror scans your face to reveal BMI, blood pressure and heart rate, along with the chances of you getting diabetes. Whoa. Cost for this magic? $7,000.
Hey baby, go to sleep
The $2,400 electric AI-powered stroller from Gluxkind with built-in baby tunes propels itself up hills and automatically brakes for humans, pets, scooters, bikes and cars. Ahem, would you trust tech to protect your baby? Not me.
Vroom, vroom
Car tech is hot, hot, hot at CES — this year and every year. Honda’s futuristic EV line will hit the market in 2026 (maybe?), complete with a battery that can charge from 15% to 80% in under 15 minutes. It looks like a DeLorean.
Where we’re going, we don’t need roads
Hyundai is set to release an all-electric self-flying taxi that will seat five people, fly 120 mph at 1,500 feet and offer a range of 20 to 40 miles. Lift and forward movement will come from eight “all-tilting rotors.” Hyundai promises it won’t be louder than a dishwasher. Supposedly coming in 2025. I’ll believe it when I see it.
Shop at OpenAI’s GPT store
Think of it like Apple’s App Store but for chatbots. Folks can build and sell chatbots for others to download like an app — custom bots to help you with work, writing, complicated math, party planning and raising your kid. For now, it’s only open to Premium (paying $20/month) users. Once they iron out the kinks, I bet everyone gets access.
Easier casting coming to a TV near you
Amazon is taking a shot at Apple’s AirPlay and Google Chromecast, the tech that lets you play whatever’s on your phone or computer on the TV. It’s launching open-source tech called Matter Casting, built into the Echo Show 15 to start.
If it works, hallelujah. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to cast to any device from another, regardless of what company made it?
A life changer
If you or someone you love has Parkinson’s, this is amazing. GyroGear has hand-stabilizing gloves outfitted with a gyroscopic motor that cleverly counteract tremors. Folks say they can write, hold a cup of coffee, play an instrument, dress themselves and do so much more the rest of us take for granted.
And finally, a heart-pounding good time
Lamborghini’s new Telemetry X tech shows real-time performance — of both car and driver. No kidding, drivers can monitor blood pressure, heart rate and stress levels. Going that fast does get a little nerve-wracking … not that I would know (yeah, right!).
🎙️ Just can’t get enough CES? I’ve got even more weird, cool and dumb new tech to reveal on “The Kim Komando Show” this weekend. Find your station here. You can also get the Show as a podcast on Apple or as part of your Komando Community Membership (that link gives you a 30-day free trial!).
