The print version of the "All Things Connected" will contain schematics, info-graphics and detailed explanations of new systems, as well as an exhibit map to let people know exactly where they can find and explore these "cars of the future."

"The automotive industry is changing dramatically to meet changing market challenges and needs, and more changes are on the horizon," Brown says. "We want to showcase vehicles exhibiting advanced technologies and provide attendees with show-and-tell photos of how these technologies work."

Some highlighted features will include autonomous driving systems, including park assist, collision avoidance and pedestrian alerts; driver connectivity, including hands-free communications, mobile service integrations and global navigation systems; fuel-efficient engine systems, including advanced diesel, hybrids and full electric; and many more automotive technology advancements.
