The annual Consumer Electronics Show is now firmly established as a premier international congress and exhibition for technology innovation. Owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, CES is the only trade show that showcases the entire worldwide tech landscape at one event. 

Now in its 57th edition, CES will return to Las Vegas from 7th to 10th January 2025 and the P3 team are gearing up.  

Blue-chip technology providers see CES as the launchpad for their transformative innovations that push the limits of what’s possible in the fast-paced world of automotive manufacturing. This includes P3, and our team of consultant engineers eagerly await the opportunity to unveil the latest developments driving in-vehicle infotainment.  

 

P3 will have our biggest CES presence ever in January 2025, and we want to meet you!

Visitors to P3’s stand at the Las Vegas Convention Center, West Hall LVCC Booth 4266, will get the opportunity to experience the expanding array of user-centric functions, apps and services that make the Android Automotive OS in-vehicle infotainment ecosystem the go-to choice for OEMs. 

Our SPARQ OS advanced IVI platform sets the standard for in-vehicle infotainment based on Android Automotive OS. It’s a revolutionary turnkey solution that redefines the driving experience, elevating utility, safety, and enjoyment for all a vehicle’s occupants. 

 

Why Android Automotive?

Android Automotive delivers inherent openness, customization capability, and scalability.
