WATCH: With Competitors Falling Left And Right, Sony Pushes Ahead With EV Car Development
The tech industry has started to altogether retreat from electric car development after a lot of noise coming from tech giants like Apple and even Dyson. Both companies have publicly abandoned EV projects, but Sony is pushing ahead with its first electric car now entering road testing.

Earlier this year, at the Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, Sony made a minor splash by pulling out something it had never really done before. It went and made a whole dang car, called the Sony Vision-S concept, with 33 sensors feeding a driver-assistance system and an all-electric powertrain. That car was said to only be an experimental development platform for the company to work on new technologies from going forward.

Lol the S Class really is the benchmark, keeps inspiring names like, Model S & Vision S, sure its could stand for Sony, but I’m here for the homage paid.

Yes, but did the see the interior of the newest S Class? It's 90% a carbon copy of a Model S with Model 3 elements (it's really nice actually). The inspiration goes both ways.

There is more to succeeding in the car business than making a prototype, a lot more.

I’m sure the 74 year old Fortune 500 company, Sony, is aware but...you gotta start somewhere right?

Tesla will survive in some form. Rivian might. Lucid might. Sony will get tired of building their Betamax on wheels and discontinue it.

The more competition, the better for consumers. Also, I think electronics companies will be able to bring a new spin on the automobile industry and bring some fresh ideas to the market. Maybe Apple will end up restarting their car program as well.
