The participants revealed many latest innovations which would enhance the driving experience.

Auto giants like Nissan and Yamaha introduced autonomous car and driver notifying system respectively.

Electronics appliances companies also displayed many new products which would help in avoiding any untoward incident while driving.

Toshiba showcased an electric bus which installs 864 charging batteries and would run for 40 kilometers by 20 minutes of charging.

Information technology major Fujitsu and Japan-based location service provider Pasco showed driving support system and street view technology, respectively.

 

Using cloud computing, Fujitsu's driving support system records characteristics of usual driving of a certain driver and also neighboring car's information.

The driver is alerted if any unusual driving takes place to avoid any damage.
