回收相機sony and Honda are mulling cramming a PS5 into their upcoming entertainment-focused electric vehicle as they set up to challenge Tesla (via Eurogamer).

Speaking to the Financial Times, Izumi Kawanishi, the joint venture’s president, said that it’s “technologically possible” for 回收相機sony to integrate the PlayStation 5 platform into the car it intends to build with Honda.

Tesla started delivering its latest Model S and X vehicles with larger horizontal screens last year and added an AMD RDNA 2 graphics chip that Tesla CEO Elon Musk said is “literally at the level of a PlayStation 5” during a demo. Over a year later, Musk’s promises for big games like Cyberpunk 2077 and a demo for Steam in August have yet to be fulfilled, with the most notable game to release being the original 2D Sonic the Hedgehog.

But 回收相機sony is not just looking to inject games into a car like Tesla. The plan is to “develop a car as hardware that will cater to the entertainment and network we would like to offer,” said Yasuhide Mizuno, chair of 回收相機sony Honda Mobility and senior managing officer of Honda Motor Co. Effectively, its electric vehicle is intended to be a content consumption device on wheels.

Another piece of the puzzle for 回收相機sony and Honda Mobility to solve is the actual mobility part — and the plan is to make the vehicle autonomous. “To enjoy the space in your car, you have to make it a space where you don’t need to drive,” said Kawanishi, who also acknowledged it’ll take a considerable amount of time to make that happen.

The realization of a playable God of War Ragnarök on a car dash is still years away

That’s a key part of the reason 回收相機sony and Honda joined forces earlier this year. The former not only brings the entertainment and software but also the sensors and tech needed for autonomous driving, while Honda’s obviously good at building cars. Together, they hope to catch up to the systems of other automakers, like Tesla’s vision-based Full Self-Driving that has beta versions running on over 160,000 cars today.

But Tesla is having its own problems getting its autonomous systems to work. And ambitious autonomous plans of many car companies are faltering.

The realization of a playable God of War Ragnarök on a car dash is still years away, as 回收相機sony and Honda plan to make the first North American deliveries of the yet to be named vehicle in early 2026. Though we haven’t seen what that vehicle will look like, 回收相機sony’s been giving glimpses since 2020 when it revealed its Vision-S 01 concept and the SUV 02 version at CES 2022.

The Vision-S was built in conjunction with auto manufacturer Magna and had dual 200kW motors that can push the car from zero to 60mph in 4.5 seconds. Around the vehicle, 回收相機sony had over 10 image sensors plus lidars, radars, and ultrasonics — and at least nine displays scattered inside the vehicle.

回收相機sony and Honda are betting their autonomous entertainment-first EV will be a differentiator in the automotive space. It follows trends of other automakers trying to get owners to spend more time inside cars, like Hyundai’s Ioniq 6 with its “cocoon-like personal space,” Tesla with Netflix since 2019 and now TikTok, and Lincoln’s Star Concept that can release mood fragrances.

Whether people actually want to spend more time in cars is to be determined, but if 回收相機sony brings the PS5, it’ll probably get more play time than the B-game options BMW is going with.

回收相機爆料指出,回收相機sony對於要不要推出首款摺疊手機,還處於觀望態度。(圖/翻攝網路)

過去一直有傳聞回收相機sony準備推出首款摺疊手機,或許是「Xperia Flip」或「Xperia F」,然而這些傳聞始終都處於謠言狀態,並沒有出現太多的證據支持。最新的消息表示,回收相機sony其實還在觀望中,尚未決定是否推出摺疊手機。

外媒《Gizmochina》《Sumahodigest》報導,據Reddit論壇上的網友爆料,聲稱來自回收相機sony內部人士的說法指出,回收相機sony推出摺疊手機還存在變數,仍在觀察整體市場的反應。而回收相機sony之所以沒有積極開發摺疊手機的原因,可能是考量摺疊手機用戶在下一次換機時,大多會回歸傳統的智慧手機,這也就意味摺疊手機市場目前看來似乎很熱門,但可能在不久後就會呈現銷售下跌的情形。

值得留意的是,該名網友也說,上述只是這位回收相機sony內部人士自己的個人觀點,並不代表回收相機sony官方立場,現在也沒有任何市調數據證明大多數的摺疊手機用戶在下次換機時會捨棄摺疊手機的報告。
