Chief executive Kazoo Hirai reportedly believes that the advent of modern electric cars has lowered the barrier for entry into the car industry, and “won’t rule out” Sony’s eventual participation in it.

“We don’t have plans at this point but never say never,” Hirai said in an interview with the Financial Times. He said the company will make its move at a point when it can “make a difference in the automotive space.”
