IN the future world of mobility, you might be traveling in a car, on a bike or a personal air transporter — with a range of new possibilities raised by connected technology.

Many of the exhibitors at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas offered their vision of mobility made easier by connectivity. Chinese drone manufacturer EHang sees a future by air. Its 1.5-meter long quadcopter on display at the show can carry one person and squeeze into a car parking space. “It’s not a drone. It’s an autonomous aerial vehicle,” said EHang vice president Claire Chen. While the company faces a number of regulatory obstacles — it doesn’t fit into drone regulations and it’s not a road vehicle — Chen said that “we are ready to sell to anybody.”

The underlying technology for smart transport was also on display at CES. Japanese equipment maker Denso unveiled its new system of vehicle to vehicle communication designed for accident avoidance and reducing congestion. Denso’s Patrick Powell, who heads the group’s “smart city” activities, says these systems can play an important role by connecting with traffic signals in real time, cutting down on traffic jams and allowing for a smoother vehicle flow.

Industry executives at CES recognize that people’s relationships with their vehicles may be changing: some people may not want to own and maintain a car, and new models are being examined. The concept of car sharing was being talked about at the show, by big automakers as well as the startup Faraday Future, which unveiled a concept electric car it plans to produce. “We’re completely rethinking how we approach the business, with one foot today and one foot tomorrow,” Ford CEO Mark Fields said at CES. “We are very proud to be an auto maker... but at the same time, beginning this year, you’re going to see us change pretty dramatically, becoming an automotive and mobility company. You’ll see us focus even more attention on the transportation services sectors.”
