The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held in January 2014 showcased several noteworthy electric and energy-related innovations, including the first Li-Fi smartphone prototype, a transparent photovoltaic screen, and the debut of LG's webOS and Samsung's curved TVs. In 2017, CES resonated with various IoT, AI, and other technological advancements, although there were no specific press mentions of electric technology innovations.
The Vegas eRace does not correspond to a real-world event. It appears to be a mix-up with the eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series, which was a virtual racing event that took place during COVID-19 lockdowns, featuring real NASCAR drivers in virtual races.
