The new company under Sony and Honda will manufacture, develop, and sell electric cars but not own or operate its manufacturing facilities. People are happy to hear that Honda, due to its huge experience in making cars, will be in charge of manufacturing the electric car in their own plants.
Furthermore, Sony will be in charge of the mobility service platform for the electric car.
Sources are not yet sure on what the design of the electric cars will look like but Sony is an important supplier of image sensors for smartphones and is seriously designing the chips for cars. Adding to this, Sony is also a powerhouse in video games due to its PlayStation.
