Sony/Honda r making a massive mistake by not using the Sony name on their new EVs!!! Especially for a name that sounds like a RX drug. I’m digging the idea of a front end display though. Could have a lot of commerical applicairons. Also, easier for Sony to change the name back 😅

Headed to #CES2023. Looking forward to see the latest tech. Volvo, RAM, Chrysler have some exciting news according to the press.

The fact that Stellantis is going to sell the Dodge Hornet AND Alfa Romeo Tonale in tandem in the US is fairly heinous... more so for the continuation of building prestige for Alfa in the US. The approach is a textbook example of badge engineering.

People seem to have a hard time understanding that a software defined vehicle operates more and more on a licensed based approach vs final sale. You didn’t “pay” for the extra acceleration when you made a retail purchase

Donuts-on-demand. @MercedesBenz's upcoming EQG gets four electric motors and a 'G-Turn' function that sees it spin on the spot. Steering wheel paddles let the driver decide if it turns left or right as the throttle is planted. First prototype ride for me. Shaken and stirred. – at Stuttgart, Germany
