It’s been quite some time since Sony launched its latest generation of PlayStation gaming console — Sony PS5. In fact, the company is gearing up to launch a new slimmer version next year.
Amid rumors of a new version of PS5 getting launched, it is being said that Sony, in partnership with Honda, could end up using the PlayStation 5 in the upcoming smart cars for the entertainment console.
Izumi Kawanishi, President of Sony Honda Mobility, which was established in September, has said that it is technically possible to integrate PlayStation 5 platform in their cars. However, he has not provided more information about this integration or if they have actually tried doing it.
He says that the companies plan to use music, movies, and gaming to build electric cars built around a premium entertainment experience. He further added that “Sony has content, services, and entertainment technologies that move people. We are adapting these assets to mobility, and this is our strength against Tesla.”
Kawanishi says that Tesla isn’t providing any content services, which could mean that the company is planning to focus more on the entertainment part for the upcoming cars.
For those who are unaware, Sony Honda Mobility is planning to launch its first electric vehicle model in the North American market by the year 2025. The ultimate aim of this joint venture is to launch fully self-driving vehicles in the market.
