Consumer Electronics Show: Rockin' the Electron in Las Vegas

The average passenger car sold in the United States has about 100 cubic feet of interior volume. That's a lot of room for electrons. At this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, there will be almost no end of new things to do with those electrons, from entertaining occupants to informing them, and many of those new things will be aimed at the automotive market.
