Electric cars are the future.

Most car manufacturers have now realized this, which is why they are gradually launching their own purely electrically powered models on the market.

Sony also wants to get involved.

The company, which actually specializes in electronic devices in other areas, has teamed up with the Japanese car manufacturer Honda.

First concepts of electric cars with the name Sony Vision have already been presented.

Sony-Honda joint venture president Izumi Kawanishi told the

Financial Times

that it was "technologically possible" to add a PlayStation 5 to the cars.

PS5 in the electric car - but why?

The obvious question that arises is: why would you want a PS5 in your car?

Sony would not be the first company to want to make this possible.

Tesla also has plans to integrate gaming into the cars.

This should enable passengers to bridge the waiting times when charging the electric car, for example.

However, a major focus point that Sony and Honda have also taken up the cause of is autonomous driving.

As soon as it is no longer necessary to drive the car manually, entertainment in the vehicle will play a greater role – including gaming.

For this reason, passengers should be able to play PlayStation games remotely with their console at home.

In this regard, Sony has an advantage over the competition: “Sony has content, services and entertainment technologies that move people.

We're adapting these assets for mobility and that's our strength over Tesla," Izumi Kawanishi told the

Financial Times

.

But it would be quite a while before autonomous driving was so far advanced that the driver could also use the entertainment functions.

The first Sony Honda electric cars are expected to hit the market in 2025

The plans for the electric car from Sony and Honda are still a thing of the future.

Autonomous driving is far from established, but there is already a rough time frame for the market launch.

According to the

Financial Times

, the first models will be sold in North America in 2025.
