CES, the largest consumer electronics showcase in the world, is on now in Las Vegas. Among the thousands of announcements is a joint venture between Spotify and Sony Honda Mobility. (Sony Honda Mobility is an intiative to make make electric vehicles.)

They call this the “Afeela” car (emphasis on the FEEL at the core of all this). It will support Spotify in the dashboard. The first model, AFEELA 1, will be released in California later this year with prices starting at US$89,000. The dash will look like this. (And yes, PlayStation integration is there!)

And there’s more. Amazon Music and Audible wiull also be part of Afeela.

In-car entertainment is changing fast. Expect more announcements like this sooner than later.
