Afeela EV first look.

Fully automated cars are nothing new, but autonomy is one of the core pillars of the joint Sony Honda Mobility venture in the Afeela. This otherworldly-looking EV is coming soon, with preorders set for 2025 and delivery in 2026. It’ll be here before we know it, but after sitting in one, I’m not sure if I’m ready to let an EV drive entirely for me.

I’ve tested more than 20 different electric vehicles this year, but I’m not convinced that the tech to offer fully autonomous driving is there yet. Yet, the Afeela is a totally different breed, down to its ostentatious interior space and minimalist design.
