In 2011, it was the place Ford chose to unveil a new car – the electric version of its Focus. It will be on sale in the US by the end of the year and Europe soon after. Debuting the Focus at CES rather than the Detroit Motor Show indicates how important in-car electronics have become to every manufacturer and car owner.”The most exciting innovations are not the ones happening in homes and offices, they are in cars,” said Audi boss Rupert Stadtler. “These changes will link the way we drive with the way we live which until now have been separate.” Anyone who has bought a new car recently knows that those innovations have been making themselves felt for a while as manufacturers swap dials for digital displays and tachometers for touch screens.
