At CES 2020, Sony – yes, Sony – showed off a car. Wild times. Although CES 2021 we did not provide another car company from the Japanese company, but the company released a new video of it Vision-S electric motor test in Austria, on public roads. This is a big step for the company, although Sony maintains that it does not itch to build cars. If nothing else, the video provides an excellent test for the new company Airpeak drone, who had earlier captured the aerial material.
Sony has previously said that Vision-S’s public testing is to validate the safety systems it has developed for the car. After all, the Vision-S was intended as a rolling showcase of the company’s sensors and imaging technologies, plus information technology planned for the automotive industry. In the new video we can see the front panel and center of the multiple panel for driver information, info and more. The fact that it all works is impressive as the car is not meant for production. However, that did not stop Sony from working with Magna Steyr last year to put the car on the streets of Austria for the first time.
Assuming Sony does not change course and decides to build the car, Vision-S will continue to test the company’s technologies. Last year, the technology firm said the car contained features Level 2 partially automated technology with its 33 sensors fixed. According to Sony, the level of autonomy will grow, so we may have to wait for another CES to see what comes of Vision-S.
