Called the Vision-S Concept, it's an electric sedan that aims to drive itself and with the tech giant behind the project, we could say that more than a handful of people were hopeful that it would reach production.

A year later, Sony showcased the Vision-S to the public again, but this time in a public road testing in Europe, which naturally sparked hope among production version hopefuls.

Sony is indeed in constant development of the concept, but it won't reach production – not as a Sony-branded car anyway.

So, yes, no matter how beautifully-designed the Vision-S Concept was, it's just a testbed for future automobile technologies, particularly in terms of safety and reliability in autonomous driving, as well as enhancing in-car entertainment and overall experience.
