Even though Sony Honda Mobility hasn't said much about its upcoming car, what it has said really gets our pulses racing. The joint venture anticipates beginning production of its first electric vehicle in 2026, focusing on production in North America and online sales in that market. The second market will be Japan, followed by a deployment in Europe. 

Sony Honda Mobility has indicated that the car, which does not yet have a name, may be capable of Level 3 autonomous driving in certain conditions and Level 2+ autonomous driving in a wider range of settings. However, many details have not yet been confirmed. Additionally, the business has suggested that subscription services will add value to the automobile. Additionally, there have been rumors that the car's infotainment system may include a PlayStation 5.

The joint venture with Sony will benefit from Honda's expertise in vehicle manufacturing and engineering capabilities. After-sales support will likely fall under Sony Honda Mobility (SHM) or Honda's purview at this time.
