Pioneer At CES 2011

CES is not really the place to show off new cars, but it’s the best place to reveal new car accessories, and at the Pioneer stand, we got a glimpse into the future of motoring.

The head’s up display is a prototype and is Pioneer’s vision for the future, where looking down at your dash is officially old school.

The head’s up display is a prototype and is Pioneer’s vision for the future, where looking down at your dash is officially old school.

Although a prototype, Pioneer is speaking to car companies, and it appears the display will take the information from an Android-based smartphone. The potential benefits in navigation, safety and avoiding traffic congestion are obvious.

iPhone cradles aren’t new, but hardly any are made by companies with the resources and know-how of Pioneer. Once you connect it to the dashboard of your car, it acts as a booster for some of your iPhones functions and apps.The smart cradle also features an in built speaker and microphone to facilitate hands free calls.
