Kenichiro Yoshida said: "this is our new Vision-S SUV." The development of Vision-S is based on security, adaptability and entertainment.

A total of 40 sensors are installed inside and outside the car to monitor the safety of the vehicle. "
"in terms of adaptability, our connectivity allows us to build an evolving car," says Mr Yoshida. Through 5G technology, we can achieve high-speed, high-capacity and low-latency connection between the vehicle system and the cloud. VIsion-S also develops mobility into an entertainment space, including gaming experiences and audio. Through the exploration of VIsion-S and through the partners who support this initiative, we have learned more about travel technology. "
