The current state of the automotive industry is one where electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more and more popular, and as a result, automakers are scrambling to catch up. However, it seems that some automakers are falling behind in the race to electrification, and one of those happens to be Sony.

While the Japanese electronics giant may be a powerhouse in the world of consumer electronics, it appears that its foray into the world of EVs has been a bit of a flop. In fact, Sony's concept EV, the Sony Vision-S, has been dubbed by many as an "embarrassment" to legacy automakers.

The Vision-S was unveiled at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, and it was met with a fair share of criticism. Some have said that the car looks like a "generic crossover SUV," while others have mocked its "retro" styling. Others have criticized Sony for not being able to make a proper EV, and for trying to enter a market that it doesn't truly understand.

However, it seems that Sony is unphased by the criticism, and is continuing to work on its EV plans. The company has said that it wants to "create new value" in the automotive industry, and that it is planning to mass-produce EVs in the near future. Only time will tell if Sony can make a success of its EV endeavors, or if it will continue to embarrass itself in the eyes of the automotive world.
