Recently, Sony's CEO officially announced the construction of the car and showed a new version of its Vision S electric concept car at the 2022CES exhibition.
It is reported that Sony Vision-S is built by Sony's artificial intelligence team and robot team, and the company's robot dog product Aibo is also from these two teams.
Kenichiro Yoshida, Chairman, President and CEO of Sony Corporation, said, "With 5G technology, high-speed, high-capacity and low-latency connectivity can be achieved between the in-vehicle system and the cloud. ”
Perhaps to prove that what Sony's chairman said is true, or perhaps to show off its hard core strength, Sony immediately demonstrated its 5G long-range driving technology.
The vehicle used for demonstration is the Sony Vision S concept car, which is located in a test site in Germany, and the staff who control the car is located in Japan, and the distance between the two is about 9400 kilometers.
Thanks to the near-instant transmission of 5G data, Japanese drivers can drive German cars remotely through office devices, including displays, steering wheels, throttles and brake simulators.
As can be seen from the video, the Vision S reached a speed of 61 kilometers per hour in the test, while performing a series of routine operations such as turning, accelerating, decelerating and braking under the control of Japanese drivers. In order to ensure safety, the test vehicle is also equipped with a special safety officer, ready to take over the vehicle at any time.
The test was successfully completed, but it can be seen that the driver in Japan is really very careful, and all kinds of operations are slow and moving, and there is still a long distance from the real sense of "driving".
And sharp-eyed netizens also said that the display screen used for monitoring is very obvious, "a bit like playing a sports kart in the poor network environment in the early years."
