A strange technology gathering at CES 2024
1. Parking robot
No more problems searching for parking. Because with this innovation you can park your car anywhere. There will be robots to pick up the car and park it safely. It is the world's first robotic parking technology, and its method is similar to an automated parking structure. But it comes in form on earth. But this robot can move freely. Move through obstacles, analyze the area, measure the distance between cars and park your car safely.
2. Soundproof mask
This invention comes from a French startup called Skyted, which invented the “Mobility Privacy Mask” and the “Hybrid Silence Mask,” which are masks that can absorb sound. When the user speaks under this mask, bystanders cannot hear what he is saying. The company revealed that it developed this to meet the needs of business people who may have to move in crowded and noisy places, such as trains, planes, or even buses.
They will be able to talk on the phone in private. These masks connect to a smartphone app, both wired and wirelessly. So you can talk without removing your mask. The starting price is $299 or about 10,479 baht Are you willing to spend more than 10,000 to buy this mask? If you had to pick it up and wear it every time you talked on the phone?
3. Mood mirror
This smart mirror is called BMind, and is an innovation from Baracoda, a health technology startup. And this BMind mirror can tell us what our mood is right now. By recognizing gestures and voice commands and sensing our intentions. The mirror will suggest activities or exercises to treat our emotions. It can also change the light, color and display images to improve our mood.
BMind glass will go on sale at the end of this year at a price of $500-$1,000, or about 17,000-34,000 baht, which is arguably too expensive for the glass's capabilities. We may have a cheaper way to help improve our feelings.

It was previously introduced at CES 2023, and in 2024 this electric car model returns to appear with many new features, but there are 2 features that are so strange that you wonder why Monster exists. View and the digital screen on the front bumper.
Monster View is one of the features on the car's large dashboard. Images of monsters will be displayed as if they were on the road. For drivers to chase monsters, the digital screen on the front bumper is another strange feature of the cars. Because the driver can set any image to appear, such as a car logo or a red warning sign. Or even birthday wishes This is definitely a very dangerous technique because it can distract drivers on the road. It may even cause an accident.
However, what Honda is showing at CES 2024 is just a prototype and may change in the future. Before the official launch in 2026
