The weirdest things I saw at CES 2019, the biggest tech show of the year

Dave Smith/Business Insider

• Business Insider sent me to the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, January 8-11.
• I spent three full days walking around the show floors, sprawling 11 venues — 2.5 million square feet of exhibit space.
• While there was a lot of cool cutting-edge tech, there were also a lot of bizarre moments, many of which I captured on camera.

CES 2019 is in the books.

I saw massive 8K displays, futuristic self-driving cars, robots, smart-home devices, and much more.

But I also saw lots of bizarre moments that didn't particularly fit into any of these categories.

I captured many of these moments on camera.

Take a look at the weirdest things I saw at CES 2019.

I have celiac disease — basically an allergy to wheat and bread — so this robot could literally kill me. (Also, who would want this massive appliance for their home?)

This robot only works every 2-3 hours. Lazy!

This robot can take drink orders only; it cannot make the drinks. Yet dozens of people waited in line for coffee here. I'll always remember my coworker looking at the line of people and exclaiming, "Does no one know this robot doesn't actually make the coffee??"
