Sony is building a car again, this time it seems to be serious, the new Vision-S 02 electric SUV concept car debuted at the 2022 CES exhibition, equipped with many Sony's black technologies, such as 360-degree panoramic sound, relying on 5G remote control and so on.
Remember the Vision-S concept car unveiled by Sony at CES 2020? At that time, it was also a big surprise, but sony denied the possibility of mass production of the car afterwards, positioning the car as a way to show the company's technology.
At the 2021 CES exhibition, Sony once said that it would not become a promise of car manufacturers, did not expect the "face" to come so quickly, not only launched a new pure electric concept car Vision-S 02 at the 2022 CES exhibition, but also announced the establishment of Sony Mobility Company, focusing on mobile travel and pure electric vehicles.
In terms of appearance alone, the Vision-S 02 is similar to the previous Vision-S style, although it always looks like a sense of déjà vu, for Sony, who has just entered the automotive industry, it is already good, and in general, there is a sense of sport and technology.
From the information released by Sony, Vision-S 02 has two kinds of four-seaters and seven-seaters, the body size is 4895mm * 1930mm * 1650mm, the wheelbase is 3030mm, coupled with the rounded tail shape, I think the space inside the car should be more spacious.
The interior adopts a triple screen design that runs through the entire center console, with a knob-type electronic gear shift mechanism, and a touch-type functional control area under the center console, which should have been said to be full of technology and futurism, but thanks to the domestic new energy car companies, let us already see it strange.
However, it is said that the co-pilot position LCD screen can directly run PS5 games, it seems that the computing power of this chip is not bad.
If this is the case alone, Sony's Vision-S 02 is too bland, so Sony has installed a remote control function that can be implemented based on 5G on the new car, and the whole operation process is like playing a game in an external simulator at home. However, if you are not in the car, what do you do when you drive out? Run Didi? In the unlikely event of a slight problem with the 5G signal, what should I do about the safety of vehicles and pedestrians? Do you rely on autonomous driving? Since there is automatic driving, what else do you want to do with this remote control? Even if it is for parking, it is not as convenient as the AVP valet parking function.
Compared with the slightly "chicken" 5G remote control, the 360 REALITY AUDIO immersive panoramic audio system is more popular, and its original 3D sound effect technology can create a separate sound field for each passenger seat, so that each passenger can get the best sound quality.
Previously released Vision-S, is with Magna Steyr (Toyota Supra, BMW Z4, Mercedes G-class manufacturers) to develop an automotive platform, Vision-S 02 does not know whether it is still cooperating with it, but at least the mechanical quality is quite strong, equipped with a combination of front double wishbone suspension + rear air suspension, front and rear axles have a maximum power of 200kW motor, comprehensive power 400kW, 0-100km/h acceleration results have not been announced, Referring to the Vision-S with the same power configuration, the acceleration time should exceed 4.8S.
I don't know what happened to Japanese companies recently, Toyota, which has been looking down on pure electric vehicles, released 15 electric vehicles, announcing that Sony, which will not become an automobile manufacturer, set up a mobility company to focus on mobile travel and pure electric vehicles. Will it be our turn to Huawei next, after all, aito cooperating with Xilix is almost equivalent to OEM for Huawei. Are you looking forward to this Sony Vision-S 02?
