Sony Honda Mobility to install PS5 games into their new EV?

Good news to all gamers! Sony Honda Mobility recently announced their new partnership to include a gaming system as an automobile feature.

Previously, Sony debuted its Vision-S 02 design at the CES technology expo in January 2022. The features include rear-seat passengers in the Vision-S 02 crossover, which seats seven people and about the same size as the Tesla Model Y which can connect to a home PlayStation console remotely to play games.

According to the President of Sony Honda Mobility, Izumi Kawanishi stated in an interview with the Financial Times has mentioned that people are moved by Sony's entertainment technologies, services, and content.

As a result, the joint venture will make use of Sony's extensive library of video games, movies, and music. Sony Honda Mobility believes that its competitive advantage over Tesla will come from being more entertaining.

‘’Our advantage over Tesla is that we are converting these assets to the mobile market. A car will be developed as hardware that will support the entertainment and network we want to provide, he added, and the company plans to modify how the upcoming EV is built.

Therefore, there isn't a PS5 console on the dashboard, but Kawanishi claimed that PS5 capability is "technologically possible", he added. 

Based on the CEO's comments, Sony Honda Mobility might and will keep the feature, allowing rear passengers to play PS5 games while driving only if the version of similar concept makes it to production as the company's first production vehicle.

However, the realistic mobility component that Sony and Honda Mobility must solve relates to building autonomous driving vehicles. Kawanishi also mentioned that to enjoy the space in the car, a convenient space will be needed where you don't need to drive although an ample amount of time will be required.
