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