We didn’t include anything about Manchester City because “Manchester is red” according to Vjeran. Everyone is confused by what that means, but he said you’ll understand.
SONY : We will name this car WH 7100 XM1
Great, now please come out with the A7V with 4K60 no crop and better rolling shutter performance. 😅
Sony just revealed the PS6 on wheels.
Whaaaat Sony and Honda! Both have been Amazing companies!
Song at the very end? I cannot find it
meh
media bar, MEH useless.
Why doesn't anyone clap? lol…
When will apple produce a car? Never !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sony and Lenovo (Nio) are way way ahead 😉
Buying it at MSRP anywhere is neigh impossible but it’s ok because a scalper will gladly sell you it for 5x the MSRP price.
Not only is "Afeela" a silly name on its face, it's also baffling that a partnership between two Japanese brands chose a name with an "L" in it, that must be a nightmare internally.
Sony is aiming at the robo taxi future where three factors will determine whose robo taxi one summons: 1) price per mile, 2) availability to pick one up quickly, and 3) entertainment available on the trip. As autonomous level five driving is achieved, the driver will no longer have anything to do in the car, and it becomes an entertainment platform.
1. Non negotiable, the battery has to be easily replaceable, we do not want planned obsolescence.
2. 45 sensors, Can I still use my car as a car if any or most of them are damaged? I don't want the software locking me out of my car.
I have a bad feela about this car
Do u need PSplus to drive the car?
their car: lots of buzzwords….
Afeela pretty good about this
Sony, Still living off the name from the past.
It looks just like the Lucid Air…
It needs Microvision inside MVIS
late to the party
so samsung gonna make consoles now? big L for sony
So that's Gran Turismo 8!
VR is the future of Sony. I like the car I want to test one.
Everybody in the public " I need to video this with my smartphone, just in case nobody else in the world publishes videos of this event "
Nitro mode of this car, will be achieved by all the heat from the microprocessors it needs to run
Is it digital or physical games
Hope there's a spiderman edition car
Before we dismiss Sony, lets keep in mind that they have a history of branching out into different industries. This goliath Japanese conglomerate has it's presences in many industries, notably:
Photography with its Cameras
TVs and media devices
Gaming obviously
Music as a recording label
Movies with Sony pictures
Laptops
If this conglomerate can keep a largely ignored Sony Xperia smartphone company going through all these years – it'll have no problem with throwing money into EVs lol
That bumper literally displayed an ad.
2026. Another 3 years
Good initiative but a bad name for a car brand……
Sony being Sony, announcing today and going to push into market years after. I love Sony but that trend of their delays should have been changed by now.
it’s not a car, IT’S A DRIVING CONSOLE
Hmm a car with scrolling ads won't be dangerous to other drivers at all, brilliant! 😱🤢🚘💥☠️
Afeela lil bit sick. that car is hideous.
