Sony just made what might be one of the biggest surprise announcements at CES: a car. Called the Sony Vision-S, it’s an electric concept car that is meant to showcase the Japanese tech conglomerate’s many different strengths, from entertainment products to camera sensors and more.
In fact, the Vision-S features 33 different sensors inside and outside of the car, multiple widescreen displays, 360 audio, and always-on connectivity, with some pieces coming from industry players like BlackBerry and Bosch. It’s also powered by a “newly-designed EV platform,” which appears to have been engineered by automotive supplier Magna.
“This prototype embodies our contribution to the future of mobility,” Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida said.
Sony wants to change mobility as we know it. How can we inspire people through mobility? What kind of richness can we bring about? Sony will use creativity and technology to open up a new world of mobility. Sony is alive within society and on Earth. New human activity exists beyond new mobility. Sony will work directly toward that ideal. This content and prototype vehicle are intended to illustrate our future concepts.
