Get ready for an incredible experience! At CES 2024, Sony showcased its latest concept car, Afeela, using its flagship video game controller. You won’t believe the amazing features they revealed!
The president of Sony Honda Mobility, Izumi Kawanishi, unveiled this incredible tech with a DualSense controller, the same one used to play Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. The demonstration was mesmerizing as Kawanishi expertly maneuvered the vehicle onto the stage with the controller, Gran Turismo-style, in front of a captivated audience.
While this may have seemed like a gaming stunt, Kawanishi quickly clarified that it was just a tech demo. However, the visuals displayed the immense potential of the camera-rich concept car’s AI vision system. The team at Sony Honda Mobility aims to revolutionize mobility and redefine how people move using innovative software and AI technology.
Imagine the possibilities of this cutting-edge technology integrating the gaming world with the automotive industry. The DualSense controller’s haptic feedback and force feedback features have the potential to transform the driving experience, allowing users to feel the nuances of the road and simulate real driving conditions.
Despite the impressive display, the use of a game controller in such a serious context does raise concerns. With recent incidents involving unconventional control systems and recalls of automated driving software, the timing may not be ideal for such technological leaps.
