Redefining the Future of Mobile Technology
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including radar blind-spot detection, backup cameras, driver connectivity and collision and lane-departure avoidance systems, continue to gain momentum in the $1.5 billion mobile-electronics industry. These technologies are not only being offered in new vehicles; aftermarket manufacturers have also adapted products to fit many older vehicles that are already on the road. The opportunities in this market are growing. Mobile-electronics products covered a swath of real estate in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center during the 2018 SEMA Show. The following is a collection of products that were on display in the New Products Showcase last year, along with insight by industry experts.
