Modern cars are becoming more than just a transportation device, especially with technology allowing more integration of features just like installing apps on a smartphone. So it is obvious that tech companies have set their eyes on the car industry. One of the first movers to this segment is Sony with their Vision-S 01 sedan. Now they dip their feet into the most lucrative body style with the Vision-S 02 SUV concept.
Back in January, Sony showcased an electric sedan concept named Vision-S. Nobody expected the Vision-S to make it into production back then especially as Sony themselves denied having intentions to become a car manufacturer. But the latest news from Tokyo is proving otherwise. Sony has started testing the Vision-S sedan on public roads, indicating the possibility of the tech giant’s electric sedan finally making it into production.
Sony has always been a familiar brand for all of us. Be it the Walkman, Bravia TVs, Playstations, (former) Vaio laptops or their mobile phones, most of us have had a taste of what the tech giant is capable of at some point in their life. But, as the automotive industry is growing towards a certain electric future, the car is turning into more of a gadget than a mechanical powerhouse. The Japanese company has taken notice of this shift and revealed the Sony Vision-S Concept Car at this year’s CES tech show earlier this month.
