We’ve seen some pretty out there ideas at CES 2015. These include Mercedes hydrogen-powered car, a luxurious and roomy take on an ecofriendly car. We’ve also seen WattUP- a router bringing us truly wireless charging capabilities from up to 20 feet away. You can even plant your flower in a pot with a sensor that lets you know if it’s too hot or too cold with the Parrot Flower Power.
