Sony and Honda’s forthcoming electric vehicle AFEELA comes with all kinds of innovative features, but the one that’s caught our attention is how it allows you to flaunt your Astro Bot fandom.

As part of a “themes” system – something the PS5 doesn’t even have – you can select from some of your favourite games, like the aforementioned Team ASOBI platformer and Ghost of Tsushima, and then have it display right throughout the vehicle and even on the front bumper.

Remember, the car has Remote Play functionality, as well as access to streaming apps like Spotify and Crunchyroll.

Okay, no one’s going to pay $89,000 for a car with an Astro Bot theme, and initial impressions from CES have been largely lukewarm at best, but it’ll be interesting to see where this project takes the Japanese manufacturer.

The electric vehicle segment is hugely competitive, so we’re curious whether it will be able to get its foot through the door. We think it’s going to be a tall order, but stranger things have happened – and at least it’s got the Game of the Year in its corner.
