Sony Honda Mobility (SHM) showcased its Afeela EV at CES 2024, with features including noise cancellation, spatial audio technology, and a realistic driving simulator.
The Afeela EV was driven onto the stage using a PS5 controller, demonstrating the integration of Sony's entertainment technology with Honda's automotive expertise.
The Afeela's cabin is designed as an entertainment cockpit, with the ability to play PlayStation games via Remote Play and a screen for watching movies.
SHM has partnered with Microsoft to create an AI 'conversational personal agent' and with Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital to develop vehicles that fuse the virtual and the real.
Despite the innovative features, the Afeela is still in the concept stage with key features like Level 3 self-driving and the personal assistant not yet finalized.
