*DISCLAIMER: SONY’S WORDING MAKES IT VERY CLEAR THIS IS MERELY A TEST, AND THE FEATURE LIKELY WON’T BE USABLE IN THE FINAL VEHICLE, YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS ALSO MAKE IT LIKELY ILLEGAL TO CONTROL A CAR USING ANYTHING OTHER THAN A STANDARD WHEEL.



this is also the same car that allows the passengers (and almost certainly not the driver) to play PS5 games using remote play. harkening back to the days of the Game Boy Advance.
 
TIL there was a MIB II

Nintendo MotionDrive, developed using older, cheaper cars with legacy technology to give a new (yet terrifying) experience.
 
The return of arrogant Sony. Our homes weren't enough, they want to be in our cars too.
 
Trophy list? I'm not going to start driving unless I know I can get the platinum without much difficulty.
 
Sony is a company with a great and very bored hardware team. They make a bunch of fantastic hardware that (mostly) barely sells but Playstation (and probably like, smartphone camera component manufacturing) keeps the company.
 
If they really wanted to impress they'd make a car you can steer using a dance mat.

    As you’ve likely guessed (and the picture will help), that’s “Afeela”. This new manufacturer is the creation of the Sony Honda Mobility group, set up to produce the vehicle Sony first showed off at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

    Originally revealed as the Vision-S, the car is — unsurprisingly, given the roll-out of legislation around the world — an electric vehicle. While specifications have changed a little since the original car, it remains a twin-motor, all-wheel drive, five-seat sedan.

    It’s intended for production in 2025/2026, but the prototype vehicle is already available to Gran Turismo 7 players. Unusually, it’s also entirely free: there’s no purchase price for the Afeela Prototype, so you could fill up your garage with 1,000 of them without spending a credit.

    yes, the possibility of advanced driving is certainly a thing.

    Ars Technica was given a preview of the actual car, though any info about whether a Dualsense can still be used to drive it has been conveniently left out.

    • Lol. Expect for the Steering Wheel, that excuse for a gearshift and those tiny pedals, the Controller is the only other input device that isn‘t a Touchscreen. I‘ll never get this focus on Touch for the Dashboard. While driving, don‘t you wanna have rather more haptic feedback from your car?
