Sony and Honda want to turn your car into a futuristic gaming pod

With US regulators allowing companies to manufacture automatic self-driving cars without human controls, Sony Honda Mobility has made its endeavours to build such cars quite public. In a recent statement, Honda stated that it will be pairing up with Sony to create a self-driving car that has a state-of-the-art PlayStation console, and other entertainment features. 

While Sony has not launched a new console since the PlayStation 5, it is currently working on a slimmer version. It is believed that this version will be the one to feature in Honda’s upcoming smart cars. 

Is it feasible to integrate the Sony PS5 into a smart car? 

Izumi Kawanishi, President of Sony Honda Mobility, said that it is “technologically possible” to integrate the Sony PS5 into a smart car. Elaborating on the need for the same, he said "To enjoy the space in your car, you have to make it a space where you don't need to drive” 

On a similar note, The chairman of Sony Honda Mobility, Yasuhide Mizuno, the aim is to "develop a car as hardware that will cater to the entertainment and network we would like to offer”.

Kawanishi further expanded that there are various companies looking to create an entertainment experience within smart cars. “Sony has content, services, and entertainment technologies that move people. We are adapting these assets to mobility, and this is our strength against Tesla.”

When will the Sony Honda Smart Car launch?

As of now, Sony Honda Mobility has stated that it aims to bring these fully automated smart electric cars into production by 2025, which isn’t a long way off considering this sounds like an episode of Black Mirror (or the basic premise of Upload’s plot catalyst). 

Is the Sony PS5 actually worth it? Or should they integrate a brand-new gaming console by Sony in the future? Read our review of the Sony PS5 here to know more!

PS5 unboxing videos show how huge the console is

To say that Sony has been a bit coy when it comes to the PlayStation 5 would be a bit of an understatement. The company only recently announced the India pricing of the console and now finally we have unboxings of the console going live and one thing is pretty clear - The console is HUGE!  So what do you get in the box? Well… besides the console itself (and the manuals), you get: DualSense controller USB Type-C charging cable for the controller HDMI 2.1 cable Power cable for the console (no bulky adapter/box) Plastic stand Now the plastic stand is used if you place the console on its side. As there is no flat surface on either side of the console, the stand will ensure that it remains still. But you can also place it when propping up the console vertically. However, it does seem like the PS5 can stand on its own vertically if need be. IGN’s unboxing video gives you a good idea of how to place the stand. All of the unboxing videos mention the size of the console because it is pr...
