• Sony surprised the world with the Vision-S debut at CES this year, so releasing a new video out of nowhere to show that work continues on the sleek EV is par for the course.
  • There's still no word on Sony's production plans—if any—but testing sensor technology in a cool package like this sure attracts attention.
  • Sony took a public interest in sensors for autonomous vehicles in 2014, and the Vision-S has 33 of them.

    The history of Sony's surprise electric vehicle concept, the Vision-S, goes like this, according to the three press releases the company has issued about the car:

    January 7, 2020: "Vision-S" Unveiled at CES 2020 in Las Vegas

    January 2020: Back at the engineering facility in Graz

    July 2020: Arrived in Tokyo for development
