Seven things I learned about the Sony car while playing Gran Turismo inside one
Will the Afeela allow the driver to see the passenger's screen?
The Afeela won't let a driver see what's on the passenger's screen. Sony Honda plans to use a privacy filter to wall off the passenger's section of the screen so they can continue to watch without distracting the driver.
What privacy features will the Afeela's screen have?
The Afeela's screen will have a privacy feature that prevents the driver from seeing what's on the passenger's screen while the car is in motion. This is to ensure that the driver can focus on driving safely without being distracted by the content on the passenger's screen.

What new door-opening method has been added to the Afeela prototype?
The Afeela prototype has added a physical button mounted underneath the window to let passengers open the door. This is in addition to the existing methods of using a button in the Afeela's smartphone app or letting a camera system open the door after recognizing the passenger's face.
