CES: Construction Equipment Show?

This year’s CES exhibition – formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show but famously became one of the world’s biggest car shows in recent years – included a surprising amount of earthmoving equipment among the transparent televisions, artificial intelligence toilets (no, really) and other gadgets.

Held annually in Las Vegas, CES is where companies debut impressive technological breakthroughs and products as one of the largest and most influential innovation events, with more than four thousand companies from around the world unveiling countless market-ready or near-ready products this year.
