Sony reveals EV controlled by PlayStation dual controller
Could this be the future of driving?
There's nothing like a good show-stopper and this time it was Sony that brought the bang at their CES 2024 press conference.
Their tech showcase was like nothing we have seen and really spoke to the future of what they are trying to achieve with their new Sony Afeela.
Their stunt of driving the Sony Afeela onto the stage with a PlayStation DualSense controller left many people in awe.
The Sony Afeela is an electric vehicle that was created in a partnership between Honda and Sony.
"Its vision expands beyond just your regular cars and motorcycles, with talk of the sky, ocean and outer space being shared. Sony's technologies will help Honda expand its "field of mobility", the company president explained." (Eurogamer)
Sony Honda Mobility President and COO Izumi Kawanishi went as far as pulling out a PlayStation DualSense Controller from his back pocket and drove the car onto the stage remotely.
