Sony is ending its program for making an electric vehicle, which has been dubbed "Honda Mobility," by shutting down. The company had been talking about making an EV for five years and has been demonstrating its technology at CES 2020.

This article suggests that Sony already knows how to build the sensor technology that will define the next generation of vehicles and argues that the company's real advantage is in helping automakers build EVs people want.
