Sony surprised everyone by introducing a standalone electric car

The name Vision-S Concept says a lot, but the car looks ready for production, and inside will appeal to all fans of high-tech gadgets.

 

 

 

The car industry is not what it was. While writing and talking about Apple's car for years, Sony threw a real bomb at the CES in Las Vegas, not with a new Walkman, Vaio laptop, Bravia TV or PlayStation game console, but with a new electric car. However, there were hardly many people in the world who expected such a surprise. The model, in addition to being electric and autonomous, offers the best of the brand's traditional strengths in the interior, and from the outside it looks like a production car, a cross between Porsche Taycan and Lucid Air. But from now on we will say that it has not been done so far for mass production. We will have to wait to see if this car will become a reality, but at the moment it seems unlikely.

The truth is that the model was created to demonstrate Sony's capabilities in automotive technology. The car was made in conjunction with Magna Steyr, and Nvidia, Continental, Bosch, ZF and Qualcomm assisted with the main systems. The model is equipped with 33 sensors for detecting people and objects.

Sony didn't divulge much of the technological details, but said the Vision-S relies on two 200 kWh electric motors that allow the big 4-door sedan to accelerate from space to 100 km / h in 4.8 seconds, delivering maximum speed 240 km / h

The design inside is extremely technological. Like the Chinese Byton, the entire width of the dashboard is occupied by a digital display, ending at both ends with curved door screens that project a picture of side cameras replacing traditional mirrors. The center console has also been replaced by a large display, and two more are mounted on the backs of the front seats to allow rear passengers to have fun while traveling. The car is equipped with 360 Reality Audio, ensuring exceptional sound quality from the speakers, including those built into the four seats.
