Exterior wise - that is a fine looking sedan.
To me it looks like it lends some design elements for Audi.

Sony just unveiled a car, the 'Vision-S'
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Sony is going to reveal that the entire car reveal + presenter was a real-time cutscene made by PS5.
They aren't really...the components and sensors they are testing in this aren't necessarily industry specific, they just use the car for specifically testing the use cases and showcasing them to actual car makers. They aren't getting into the business of actually making cars of their own:
This really needs to be in the OP. Sony will never manufacture its own vehicles. The investment, knowledge, supply chain, etc. required to get into that business would probably bankrupt the division just like Samsungs venture did before they sold it off to a real car manufacturer (Renault).
Half Audi, half Volvo. I like the design. Further, I think Sony has such a well understood "premium electronics" reputation that it would feel appropriate and trustworthy to people in the market for an electric vehicle.
I could see them actually making a go of it if they ever decided to make it a real business.

Also, check out Charlie's Angle:
The design of the car is relatively conservative for an electric vehicle. It looks more like a sort of placeholder for people to imagine a Faraday/Lucid/Tesla/Porsche/Byton or other EV with Sony technology.
If Sony we're actually looking to enter the car business, they'd probably show a more out there concept car, pushing an exaggerated version of their design language.

WAIT!
Pause the thread.
Tell us all more about the electric cars designed by dogs.
they aren't going to bankrupt themselves by making a concept car
its just a prototype to highlight the sony sensors nothing more than that. it will never go to production.
Can someone with knowledge explain what the purpose of a concept car is? I never understood why a company would make em to never release them
They are technology and design demonstrations.
Also, advertising. Everybody dream of beautiful cars and a concept is free from the road and safety regulation of production cars so it can look crazy.
They probably want to send the message that they can do stuff for cars as well. Samsung recently bought Kardon to be a bigger supplier for the automative industry.
lol, was going to say it looked like my Civic. Same color even
It's not a waste of money. Having optical sensors etc for cars is going to be a huge industry and right now there def are gaps in how some these sensors work, Sony already creates infotainment systems for cars already it's a natural progression to automated car systems and Sony's image recognition tech is pretty damn good.
"Vision ____" is going to be this decade (or this year at least) "Series ____"? I have seen some brands this past year using it a lot, like that Mercedes Car that was also presented at the show.
I like the car but I wouldn't afford it if it was going to be mass produced.

I'm imagining Mr. Garrison's up your butt mono wheel vehicle
It's a lot simpler to design a car when you don't have to worry about the complexities of internal combustion engines and drive trains. Makes me wonder if we'll ever see anything of Apple's years of research into making a car, or if that's been put in the vault permanently.
Also, Magna's involvement in this is interesting. They almost bought-out GM or Chrysler at one point.

It looks like a very production ready concept. I was expecting the usual off the wall concept car.
I'm really surprised, this would be on my shortlist of cars to buy if it actually released. It looks better than most EV currently on the market, and the interior is amazing.
Lets be real this is Far more useful technology than a playstation (or any game system)
Oh it is, and it does look nice. But there's no chance Sony can break into this market.
