Theyre controlling the engine and the emissions and even in the switches for raising and lowering your windows, says Kristin Dziczek, the vice president at the Center for Automotive Research. Last year, when auto manufacturing was suspended for the pandemic, everyone predicted a

People could play a game, a movie or music without waking up others in the same room. Because the device does not use
20、 headphones, it is possible to hear other sounds in the room clearly.The device uses a 3-D sensing module that finds and follows the ear position of the listener.
