The Japanese technology giant has actively and passively said that its first electric car will not go on sale. The Sony Vision-S will remain as a test lab. However, Sony has found a perfect partner in Germany to continue with some experimental 5G connectivity trials.
The Sony Vision-S will not be released. This has been pointed out by the Japanese company on more than one occasion, especially after being seen at the beginning of the year on Austrian roads with slightly camouflaged prototypes. The truth is that one thing does not exempt the other, so the tests will continue in different areas, such as those of the 5G connectivity that the electrician equips.
Sony has found a perfect technology partner to continue the experiments in the most realistic conditions possible. It is the telecommunications company Vodafone Germany, which has unique facilities, with a large test track, and in which the Sony prototype rolls permanently connected, transmitting and receiving data and information between the vehicle and the information cloud. in real time.
Sony Vision-S tests will be limited to its technology, not driving
The advanced technology of 5G Internet connectivity allows to have the most up-to-date information at the moment, so it is also checked if there are delays in the emission and reception of information, and specifically these at high speed.
“Mobile communication in real time turns cars into databases on wheels. In our 5G mobility laboratory, the Vision-S prototype learns to communicate in real time ", explains Hannes Ametsreiter, Head of Vodafone Germany, who added that" Together with Sony, we are preparing the first 5G prototype so that in the future new functions can be imported into the car wirelessly with a simple software update. '
The Sony Vision-S will not go on sale, so it will not be able to demonstrate its dynamic qualities in the face of a luxury electric offer, and with a high level of performance. Like those offered by the Japanese model, thanks to two powerful electric motors, one on each axle, which develop a total maximum power of 400 kW, a figure that is equivalent to 544 HP of a model with a combustion engine.
