MERCEDEX BENZ VISION URBANETIC CONCEPT

If you've ever wanted to be chauffeured around by an invisible driver, pretending you're in Tron, this is your car. It's just as cool technologically: an autonomous, modular vehicle, with a mobile platform that you place a specific pod on. For example, you could swap out the passenger section for a cargo pod on moving day. Sadly, it's  just a concept, but still one of the automotive highlights of the show.

Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM Wireless Waterproof Speaker

You'll be hard-pressed to find a more adorable-looking waterproof speaker than the Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM. Available in a multitude of color combinations, the compact speaker sounds great, too. It blasts 360-degree sound with excellent quality, courtesy of two active audio drivers and two passive radiators for deep lows. In case one WONDERBOOM isn't enough, you can pair it for an even bigger sonic experience. The gadget can deliver up to 10 hours of wireless tunes on a battery charge.

Essentially a mobile security camera with some smart-home control capabilities, when Kuri ships about a year from now it will roam your home checking on your kids and pets when you're not home. It looks like a robot, though, so it's cool just for that.

Norton Core router

I know what you're thinking: "A router?!" I have no clue if it's any good, but this geometric orb, available in gold or silver, certainly doesn't look like a piece of networking technology. It also offers real-time network security for every device connected to it.
Available for preorder for $200 (about £165 or AU$275).
