Sony made what might be one of the biggest surprise announcements at this year\u2019s CES: a car. Called the Sony Vision-S, it\u2019s an electric concept sedan that is meant to showcase the Japanese tech conglomerate\u2019s many different strengths, from entertainment products to camera sensors and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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\u2019s also powered by a \u201cnewly-designed EV platform\u201d \u2014 which appears to have been engineered by automotive supplier Magna \u2014 that Sony says will be able to power other vehicle types, like SUVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The outside of the vehicle has some strong Porsche vibes, especially around the headlights, and in side profile it\u00a0somewhat resembles the Lucid Motors Air. Inside, the Vision-S features a dashboard-spanning screen much like the one that Chinese EV startup Byton is\u00a0putting in its cars, with screens for rear-seat passengers in the headrests.
\u201cThis prototype embodies our contribution to the future of mobility,\u201d Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida said.
