For the most part a technology demonstrator of what they could offer an established car maker. My take away.
sedans with screens like those for rear seat viewers exist already normally in the form of luxury variants driven by others. the other use of course is mini vans and crossovers/suvs where children get access to screens.
yet I am always of the belief most younger people would rather just access their own device. now if we could borrow from some recent scifi shows the ability to those swipe and push your content to internal screens would be very nice.
as to that front panorama screen set up, that might work without a steering wheel implying entertainment options for everyone as everyone is a passenger.
comparing this all to where Telsa is (TM3 owner), the setup in Tesla works because for the most part the driver never really needs to interact with the display. Most setting in modern cars are automatic and simple tasks replicate to steering wheel controls. Throw in a lot of voice commands; Tesla recently introduced dozens; and you can minimize taking focus off driving. This Sony setup appears to not consider that, it wants to be attention grabbing which it should not be in a car that requires a driver.
