Although Sony could be said success in making these 2 electric-powered vehicle prototypes (a sedan and suv), but still makes many people wonder why those cars were just displayed? Meanwhile at the CES 2022, Sony only gave a quite simple answer.

So might be in the future those two or another Sony-made cars can be bought and owned by the public. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | PAULTAN | LATESTCARNEWS ]Note: This blog can be accessed via your smartphone.
