Sony is serious about entering the car business: the Japanese electronics giant presented a second electric car prototype at the CES technology fair in Las Vegas and is founding a mobility subsidiary in the spring. A commercial launch of their own car is being examined, said CEO Kenichiro Yoshida.
Sony had presented the first prototype – krone.at reported – with the name “Vision-S” at the beginning of 2020 at the technology fair CES in Las Vegas. At that time, the Japanese electronics company still left it open whether the vehicle should ever go into series production. The prototype at that time is now called “Vision-S01”. The new model “Vision-S02” – see video – is a slightly taller compact SUV. Sony’s Vision-S02 in detail: While Sony was the first electronics company to publicly present a car project, there have been speculations about Apple’s plans for an electric car for years to bring to market. So far, however, we only definitely know that the group is testing technology for autonomous driving.
