Sony Honda Mobility announced they will open online pre-orders for their upcoming car in 2025 and deliver them the following year. Then they didn't show us the car, only hinted at a “higher price,” and gave us no hint about its battery range. 🤷
The joint venture has Sony in charge of software and sensors, including a Level 3 conditional automation driver assistance system. Other in-vehicle software features focused on entertainment or metaverse connectivity are under consideration.
All this fancy software can be yours if you buy a car and THEN pay a monthly subscription to ensure its features keep working.
