Not only this, it also enables and provide to explore new entertaining possibilities through digital innovations and such as the ‘metaverse’. According to the Sony’s head of robotics told the   publication that, Integrating PS5 into cars is “technologically possible”. Moreover, he also added that services, content and entertainment could give the new venture an edge over Tesla in the new EV car wars.

However, the first model will be in the market in 2025. The company in collaboration view the car as ” a vehicle that will cater the entertainment and network they  would like to like to offer”, Yasuhide Mizuno, chair of the joint venture told the financial teams.

Moreover, with rich dashboards that match tablets in car entertainment has accelerated tremendously in recent years. Though, the car companies are looking to keep passengers and idle drivers engaged with the system.

Of course, car companies has no intentions to crash the cars while driving therefore, they are relying on the arrival of the autonomous driving to free up drivers to watch and play on their entertainment systems.
