就在大家还在讨论苹果造车到底是颠覆行业还是昙花一现时，索尼公司在今年线上举行的CES展上，发布了电动轿车Vision-S在欧洲冬季路测的最新进展。
索尼曾在去年CES展上首次展出这款概念电动轿车，当观众问及它的上市时间和预售价格时，时任索尼集团总裁兼CEO的吉田宪一郎说：“我们不卖这台车”。时隔一年，索尼改主意了。
今年的CES上，索尼公开了Vision-S在奥地利公路上进行自动驾驶的视频，并高调宣布已在2020年12月完成原型车设计，新车将由麦格纳在奥地利代工生产。现在，公司正与汽车供应链合作伙伴对Vision-S的配置构造和驾乘体验进行优化。
智能电动汽车时代，电机、电池和电控系统打破了传统汽车行业超高的技术壁垒，苹果也好，索尼也罢，跨界造车绝不是它们在造势，恰恰是这些互联网、消费电子科技领军企业在高科技领域积累的硬本事，成就了它们跨界发挥的大“资本”。
