Sony's chairman and president, Kenichiro Yoshida, made the
comment at the CES technology conference in the United States that was streamed
online.
He said that it would launch the new company, Sony Mobility,
in the spring of 2022, through which it intends to explore entry into the
electric vehicle market.
Sony has already announced a prototype vehicle that is being
tested on public roads.
At the 2020 CES event, Sony had said it would start testing
self-driving cars to beef up the company's sensing and safety technologies.
Sony had also unveiled an electric concept car with 33
embedded sensors, including image sensors, and solid-state light detection and
ranging (Lidar) sensors at the event.
The concept car, developed with the help of Bosch,
Continental, and other partners, also incorporates Sony's in-car entertainment
systems with spatial audio technology. © Reuters
