While Sony revealed an autonomous car concept, Panasonic showcased a miniature, battery-powered prototype fire engine.

he electronics company developed the fire engine in collaboration with Tropos Motors, an electric vehicle company that wanted to create a cart-sized vehicle that can transport the same level of equipment as a full-sized fire engine, at a fraction of the cost and using less energy.

Panasonic also argued that the reduced size of the truck means that it can respond to emergencies in a new way, because of its ability to fit into small spaces that would have been previously inaccessible to a regular old fire truck.
