It’s official, the Sony Group Corp is officially launching an electric vehicle company, called Sony Mobility Inc. At CES 2022, they unveiled the Sony VISION-S 02 electric SUV, which uses the same platform as the VISION-S 01 coupe that began public road tests in Europe from December 2020. Safety is its number one priority, as it has sensors installed 360° around the vehicle, including high-sensitivity, high-resolution, wide dynamic range CMOS image sensors and LiDAR sensors.
That’s not all, Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors help provide monitoring functions for driver authentication as well as watching over passengers and they also support intuitive gesture / voice commands that enhance usability of the car interface. The VISION-S 02 features a new function that allows users to customize the display theme and the acceleration / deceleration sounds of the vehicle. Vehicle settings, key locks, and user settings can be synced by pairing the vehicle to the cloud using mobile communication, including 5G.

The excitement we received after we showed off the Vision-S really encouraged us to further consider how we can bring creativity and technology to change the experience of moving from one place to another. This is our new Vision-S SUV. Vision-S has been developed on a foundation of safety, adaptability and entertainment. Safety has been our number 1 priority in creating a comfortable mobility experience,” said Kenichiro Yoshida, Sony President and CEO.
