It wouldn't be CES without a pieces of decades-away tech that features so many buzzwords it should be given an honorary marketing degree.

And then there's the Metaverse, which is where it gets weird. This part of the i2V system is capable of beaming three-dimensional avatars into the vehicle. These avatars represent actual flesh-and-blood human beings, apparently. Nissan notes a few examples of how this Metaverse could be useful -- for example, a professional driver avatar could ride shotgun and offer suggestions on being a better driver, or an avatar of a local could help road trippers discover places to eat in a town they've never been through. The Metaverse can also drop your friends or family into the car for a little company on a long, lonesome trip.
