Sony Vision-S 02 Prototype
The transition to electric cars is shaking up the market, and while a lot of established automakers are trying to play catch-up, Sony’s new Vision-S 02 represents one of the first major ventures from an electronics maker into the EV space.
The Vision-S 02’s prototype tech looks sharp: There’s a slick three-screen digital dashboard, an additional haptic touchscreen, side mirror displays, built-in voice controls, individual seat speakers, sensors for autonomous parking, and more. Notably, unlike some other EV makers, Sony doesn’t seem to be setting its ambitions too high—the Vision-S 02 is only slated to support Level 2+ autonomous driving capabilities for now.
Sony also announced that it’s creating a new division, Sony Mobility, to develop future electric vehicles, so it’s clear the company isn’t just hyping some cool tech we’ll never actually see in the future. —Sam Rutherford
