This ‘land aircraft carrier’ is like a Cybertruck that gives birth to a drone

The competition to become the most outlandish vehicle at CES is stiff: You have the swoopy solar-powered Aptera, electric RVs like the Lightspeed, and all manner of rideable electric gizmos. But Xpeng, a major Chinese EV manufacturer, put the rest to shame this year when it rolled in the Aero HT Land Aircraft Carrier (LAC), a six-wheeled monstrosity that does exactly what its name implies.

When a rear hatch swings open, the goliath LAC begins to disgorge its payload: a wadded-up, person-sized drone better known as an electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, or eVTOL. As it emerges from the rear storage area, the aircraft’s legs flop down like a newborn calf, and the van wriggles up and down to slide it out using its air suspension.

Health care experts believe regenerative medicine has reached an ‘inflection point’

Every year, companies debut cutting-edge medical technology at CES that introduces new solutions to problems and illnesses that have plagued humanity since the event's inception, and 2025 is the year that regenerative medicine shined. During a CES 2025 panel hosted by Jason Haider, CEO and founder of Xenco Medical, and Veerle Dhaenens, general manager of Global Therapy Innovations for Terumo BCT, the two experts said that the world is at an "inflection point" — a time when different fields of technology have all reached a point they can work together.

Haider called it a "1965 moment" in reference to the year that Gordon Moore published Moore's Law. Moore's Law is the idea that the number of transistors on a chip doubled every two years and acted as a metaphor for how quickly technology advanced, but it also led to the semiconductor revolution.
