Sony Group Corporation and Honda Motor Co., Ltd. have scrapped their jointly developed Afeela 1 electric vehicle (EV) and will pursue other projects through their mobility venture, Nikkei Asia reported on Friday.
The partners are now exploring alternatives, including non-EV products and services, while considering how to redeploy around 400 employees, with some potentially absorbed by the parent companies.
The venture, launched in 2022 to "evolve mobility from a mere means of transportation into new experiences," may still consider future vehicles, but is now focusing on applying its technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) assistants and in-car entertainment systems, to other areas.
