The announcement comes on the heels of a strategic merger plan between Honda and Nissan, potentially including Mitsubishi. This alliance aims to bolster their competitive edge in the rapidly evolving automotive landscape, where Tesla currently sets the pace. The merger is expected to enhance their capacity to innovate and deliver cutting-edge technology.
“The pace of innovation in the automotive industry demands collaboration and synergy,” Honda stated, emphasizing the strategic nature of their recent merger plans.

In alignment with this innovative spirit, Honda also introduced ASIMO OS, the software that will power the 0 Series. Paying homage to Honda’s renowned bipedal robot, this operating system integrates electrical architecture with in-vehicle infotainment systems—a growing trend among automobile manufacturers. While further details remain under wraps, Honda promises a “mobility experience customized for each individual user,” hinting at a future where personalization meets advanced technology.
