The Audi presence at CES 2010 continues with Quallcom's A5 Cabriolet loaded to its folding fabric roof with cutting-edge kit from the well-known tech firm. Quallcom used its A5 demonstrator to showcase many of its new automotive and mobile applications. This particular car includes 3G connectivity that allows it to both overlay real satellite maps within the Audi's 3G MMI system and become a rolling wireless hotspot. The company's FLO TV system allows realtime television delivery to seatback viewscreens and there's even a setup for wireless device charging in the Cabriolet's center console.
