The Sony Vision-S is an electrically powered concept vehicle from the Japanese electronics company Sony . The vehicle was presented on January 6, 2020 at the American Consumer Electronics Show (CES) technology fair , which is held annually in Las Vegas , Nevada under the direction of the American trade association CTA .
The platform and systems of the station wagon were developed with a number of international partner companies, including Magna , Benteler , Bosch , NVIDIA , Continental , Qualcomm , ZF , Elektrobit , Blackberry , Gentex and the Dutch map service HERE . The concept should also be transferable to SUVs and vans.
The presentation caused a sensation mainly because Sony's plans to enter the automotive market were in no way known in advance.
properties
According to the manufacturer, the study focuses on three core areas:
safety
A combination of 13 cameras and 20 ultrasonic , radar and lidar sensors results in extensive 360 ° observation of the environment. This enables the use of a wide variety of driver assistance systems such as distance control, emergency braking assistants, lane change assistants and automatic parking devices. The currently presented automation level is to be raised from 2+ to level 4 (standardization rules of the American traffic authority NHTSA ) through regular software updates .
A camera-based driver monitoring system monitors bodily functions and movement patterns of the driver and warns him in the event of signs of fatigue and a lack of concentration. A digital mirror system is displayed dynamically on three monitors in the vehicle and reacts automatically to glare effects and changed lighting conditions.
entertainment
The prototype has an extensive infotainment system with a panoramic screen and a 360 ° sound system with 33 loudspeakers distributed throughout the interior. If the driver gets out of the car, the status of the music or videos played in the vehicle can be seamlessly transferred to their own mobile device and vice versa.
Adaptability
A large amount of information about the vehicle can be called up via an app on the smartphone via an extensively designed interface. This includes position, battery capacity and charging process as well as indoor and outdoor temperature.
The car adapts to personal preferences as it is used. Gradually, manual personalization of seat settings, heating and music should be possible.
For example, if the vehicle detects a person sleeping in the back seat, it adjusts the temperature of the immediate surroundings selectively.
The knowledge gained from one's own vehicle should be further processed and optimized using cloud computing via 5G .
Motorization
The vehicle has four-wheel drive . The two electric motors , which together produce 536 hp (400 kW), should be able to accelerate the vehicle from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.8 seconds and enable a top speed of 240 km / h.
production
Sony is not planning its own production of the vehicle and has not given a precise idea of the production period and price. On its website, the group describes the study as an illustration of a possible contribution to the mobility transition . It therefore remains to be seen whether series production is planned at all or whether the vehicle is only used to present Sony's technical solutions and should be the basis for further improvements to this technology. Extensive research on sensors and in the field of autonomous driving is planned.
