LAS VEGAS -- CES 2023 opened to the public on Thursday with throngs of people browsing new technology ranging from self-driving farm equipment to the latest electric vehicle concept cars against the backdrop of a slumping tech sector.
The world's largest consumer technology trade show returned largely to normal after three years, during which the COVID-19 crisis had robbed the event of much of its energy. But while attendance is below pre-pandemic levels and despite a rare drizzle falling on the Las Vegas Strip, the buzz is back.
