Sony Vision-S 02

After 2020, Sony introduced another electric car, expanding its range of electric vehicles. It is the Vision-S 02, the successor to the previous Vision-S model.

Sony unveiled the Vision-S electric sedan for two years along with its autonomous driving technology and entertainment systems, and a year later began testing a prototype legal for the road. However, even then, it did not seem that the production version would arrive soon.

The new Vision-S 02, Sony has developed based on its own AI system and robotics. The same platform was used with the previous model. It is powered by two 536 hp (400 kW) engines mounted on both axles. That’s enough power for the car to reach a top speed of more than 112 mph (180 km / h).

Sony has announced that it will launch a new company, Sony Mobility Inc., which will start operating earlier this year. This announcement led to a rise in Sony shares of more than 4.5 percent.

A ship with frozen cars sailed into the port of Vladivostok

A few days ago, a ship from South Korea sailed into the Russian port of Vladivostok with a lot of frozen cars. As if not enough problems were caused by the global shortage of semiconductors, in this case the delivery of new cars was slowed down by ice.

After the horrible weather conditions, the frozen cars arrived in the port. The ship was carrying Japanese models on deck, including a Honda Fit / Jazz and a Toyota Tank / Roomy.

It is quite common for vehicles to arrive in this condition during the winter, and when that happens, sailors remove the ice before unloading them from the ship. “It’s December, the sea is rough and windy. The sea is splashing on the boat, making a crust. It’s not a big deal. Except that this year the winds are much stronger than usual. But we sailors are used to it. It happened before, we unloaded cars and in the end everything was ok, “said the captain of the ship SUN for the Russian magazine VL.
