Get ready for a revolutionary twist on road trips! Sony and Honda's electric vehicle collaboration is about to change the game for passengers. With the introduction of the Afeela EV, a joint venture between these tech giants, we're witnessing a new era of in-car entertainment. But here's where it gets controversial...
The Afeela EV is set to offer PS Remote Play, allowing passengers to remotely access their PS5 and PS4 consoles while on the move. Imagine chipping away at your favorite RPG during a long drive, or even just having something fun to do while parked. It's a niche feature, but one that could revolutionize how we spend our time on the road.
According to the announcement, the Afeela's infotainment system will seamlessly integrate with your consoles, providing a smooth gaming experience. You can even bring your DualSense controller along for the ride, ensuring you never miss a beat. Sony Honda Mobility recommends a broadband connection of at least 5Mbps for gameplay, with 15Mbps delivering an even smoother experience.
This isn't the first time we've seen PS Remote Play in an EV. The Afeela 1, set for its initial deliveries in 2026, showcased this feature at CES 2024. And let's not forget Tesla's famous foray into in-car gaming with Steam support for its Model S and X, although that feature was later removed.
So, here's the part most people miss: while drivers might not be able to play, they can still enjoy the benefits of having entertained passengers. It's a win-win situation!
What do you think? Is this a game-changer for road trips, or just a niche feature? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Don't be shy - let's spark a discussion!
