new Honda 0 EV models inch closer to production [Video]

Honda kicked off the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in high style today with the global debut of the first two models in its new 0 Series of EVs set to roll off the line in 2026 – along with your newest road trip buddy: ASIMO (!).

With talk of artificial intelligence and robotics beginning to overwhelm the discussion around forward-looking automobiles, it’s worth noting that Honda has been developing both advanced AIs and humanoid robots for decades – most notably the friendly, faceless ASIMO robot that promised to take care of lonely seniors (as opposed to Tesla’s Optimus, which promises to take your union job and put your family on the street).

As a huge fan of the OG ASIMO, I was genuinely delighted to see the friendly robot’s name featured prominently in the official press release announcing the new 0 Series.
