According to Kenichiro Yoshida, the Sony CEO, he said \u201cThis prototype embodies our contribution to the future of mobility and combines a variety of Sony technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sony Vision-S is an all-wheel drive, 4-seater sporting two 200kW motors which help it accelerate from 0-60 (0-100km) in 4.8 seconds to a maximum speed of 149 mph (240km). With 33 sensors to monitor the interior and exterior of the vehicle, the Vision-S also packs an immersive 360 degree surround audio system, and a panoramic dash screen for infotainment.
