The car incorporates over 40 sensors, including cameras, LiDAR, radar, and ultrasonic sensors. Most are employed in the advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS).
Different battery pack options are available with Afeela. The 91-kWh lithium-ion battery pack can be recharged at 150-kW DC fast charging stations. The estimated maximum range is 300 miles.
Of course, Sony had a major hand in developing the interior and user interface, delivering audiophile-quality sound. The nav system’s map does 3D renderings on the screen that spans the dash. Drivers can also adjust the in-cabin themed wallpaper and lighting.
AI @ CES 2026
There was no shortage of AI hype, hardware, and software at CES. Most of the AI on the floor hid the AI support within products, while in the backrooms we saw the underlying hardware and software.
BrainChip showed off its array of Akida-based spiking-neural-network (SSN) AI accelerators, including a compact M.2 module (Fig. 11). The initial version incorporated the AKD1000-ES chip, while the latest M.2 module employs the new AKD1500 co-processor that delivers 800 GOPS at 1 mW/GOPS. The system integrates 1 MB of on-chip memory along with conversion support in hardware. The chip can be controlled using SPI or PCI Express Gen 2 or later. It can handle advanced video models and the software tools support TensorFlow/Keras and PyTorch.
