The Vision-S sedan is an electric vehicle built by the electronics giant in conjunction with Robert Bosch GmbH, Continental AG, Magna International Inc. and Nvidia Corp. The vehicle is claimed to deliver 544hp through electric engines with a top speed of 155 miles per hour. 0-100 kilometers per hour is achievable in 4.8 seconds compared to 3.4 seconds in the Telsa 3, a vehicle the Vision-S sedan is being compared to. Technology-wise the Vision-S sedan includes 33 sensors to deliver autonomous driving functionality and car-to-car communication with support for 5G connectivity. How autonomous and to what level the self-driving functionality is rated was not shared by Sony. The vehicle itself uses Sony imaging and sensing technologies. Those include Sony’s own CMOS sensors, solid-state lidar, sensor fusion technology and Time-of-Flight sensors. The sensors are described as being able to detect and recognize people and objects inside and outside the car to provide highly advanced driving support. Inside the vehicle, the driver is presented with a futuristic LCD dashboard that takes up nearly the entire width of the vehicle, what Sony calls a “panoramic screen in which rich and diverse content can be enjoyed through an intuitive user interface.” Music lovers get “360 Reality Audio” that provides an immersive audio experience through speakers built into each seat. “Sony will continue to combine its advanced technologies to deliver greater safety and reliability, while also striving to inspire new emotion through revolutionary in-car entertainment experiences,” the company said in a press release [ https://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/202001/20-001E/ ]. Lacking from the announcement is Sony’s actual intentions with the vehicle such as release date or price. As CNBC notes, “given that a large number of concept vehicles do not come to market, whether the Vision-S ever sees the light of day remains to be seen.” The vehicle itself may have simply been designed to showcase Sony’s technology to others with no intention of it ever being mass-produced. While Sony makes a wide variety of consumer electronics it also has a strong technology supply business such as with its camera sensors which are used by various different smartphone makers. If it does ever come to market, on paper at least it would be worthy competitor to Tesla vehicles depending on its price. Tesla has gained much of the attention in the electric vehicle space and while other legacy vehicle manufacturers are rolling out new electric vehicles, no prominent new player is yet to seriously challenge it. Sony, if it so chose, could be that company.
