Seeing the future of electric vehicles, self-driving vehicles, and whatever Tesla\u2019 next fever dream is are some of the easiest predictions you can make for the show. However, sometimes you can\u2019t predict how weird these new cars might be, or the surprising manufacturers behind them.<\/p>\n<p>At CES 2020 all eyes were on Sony to say something about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/playstation-5-vs-xbox-series-x-everything-we-know-about-next-gen-consoles-1792542\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">PlayStation 5<\/a>, the next-gen video game console launching this year. And technically they did. They revealed a very familiar logo and that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Here&#8217;s to 2020!! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/v8SQyAkTn8\">pic.twitter.com\/v8SQyAkTn8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Hermen Hulst (@hermenhulst) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hermenhulst\/status\/1214365175610052615?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 7, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Instead, the most surprising piece of Sony hardware was a new concept car. The electronic manufacturers isn\u2019t known for vehicles. But hey if Apple can keep teasing a car why not Sony? The <a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/sony-vision-s-concept-car-ces\/?_ga=2.104655424.1300902881.1578324997-872984373.1506353243\"  rel=\"noopener\">Vision-S<\/a> (why not PlayStation Car?) is a concept electric vehicle from Sony. So it doesn\u2019t really exist. However, that hasn\u2019t stopped Sony from releasing a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sony.net\/SonyInfo\/vision-s\/spec.html\"  rel=\"noopener\">potential specs<\/a>\u00a0as well as this demo video. The Vision-S accelerates from zero to 100 km per hour in just under five seconds. Not quite as good as the best Tesla but within striking distance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j1RAdaSFWkM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Raw tech is Sony\u2019s strong suit, though, and the Vision-S reflects that. 33 sensors and cameras, including CMOS and ToF and Solid State LiDAR, detect objects and people inside and outside the car as well as map surrounding areas and measure speed for safe, crash-free travelling. Inside the car is a panoramic screen with \u201c360 reality audio\u201d to make the car a home theater on wheels.<\/p>\n<p>But if you think a Sony car sounds weird, the Vision-S seems positively pedestrian compared to the other bizarre CES 2020 vehicle announcement. Mercedes-Benz and James Cameron revealed an <em>Avatar<\/em>-inspired concept car. It\u2019s called the Vision Avtr, not the Ava-Car.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1815596\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/avatar-car-inline-625x416.jpg?resize=625%2C416&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/avatar-car-inline-625x416.jpg?resize=625%2C416&#038;ssl=1 625w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/avatar-car-inline-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/avatar-car-inline-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/avatar-car-inline-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/avatar-car-inline.jpg 980w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Much like the hugely profitable sci-fi movie it\u2019s inspired by, the Vision Avtr uses expensive bleeding-edge technology to convey a message of reconnecting with nature. The car features round organic shapes, pulsating neon lights, and \u201cbionic flap\u201d scales on the back. The aesthetic is on the razor\u2019s edge of hypnotic and gross, again like <em>Avatar<\/em>. You don\u2019t even use a steering wheel. The controls are projected onto your body. Very spiritual. Very <em>Avatar<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the car&#8217;s eco-friendly nature goes beyond mere aesthetics. The Vision Avtr\u2019s graphene-based organic cell battery can be composted and uses no rare-Earth minerals. The seats are vegan leather. The rattan wood floor is Indonesian timber. They aren\u2019t going to make a lot of these cars. But at least the ones they do make are sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>The real question is, will you be able to buy a Vision Avtr before Cameron finally finishes the dozen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/movies\/dumb-matt-damon-still-regrets-losing-massive-avatar-payday-1810318\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">upcoming <em>Avatar<\/em> sequels<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>More on Geek.com:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/ces-2020-samsung-selfietype-is-an-invisible-mobile-keyboard-1815486\/\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">CES 2020: Samsung SelfieType Is an Invisible Mobile Keyboard<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/samsung-showcases-infinity-tvs-rotating-tvs-extremely-curved-gaming-monitors-at-ces-2020-1815474\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Samsung Showcases Infinity TVs, Rotating TVs, Extremely Curved Gaming Monitors at CES 2020<br \/>\n<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/lexilife-demonstrates-dyslexia-reading-lamp-at-ces-2020-1815500\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Lexilife Demonstrates Dyslexia Reading Lamp at CES 2020<br \/>\n<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/avatar-car-650x366.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\"><\/figure>\n<p>There&rsquo;s nothing surprising about cars being at CES.
