In a room with a string of blue LED lights along the floor, racing simulator set-ups appear beneath a sign of logos that reads “Sony AI”, “Polyphony Digital”, and “Sony Interactive Entertainment”. Characters in racing helmets on the back of each chair appear in blue, green, and purple, labelled “Sophy Bleue,” “Sophy Verte,” and “Sophy Violette,” respectively. In the lower left-hand corner, the “Rated E for Everyone” symbol appears in black and white. White text to the right of the symbol reads:

“When I first heard about a machine learning AI that you can race against, I was super interested because there’s nothing like that in racing.”
In a clip of the game Gran Turismo, a purple race car appears next to a banner indicating “Sophy Violette.” The car zooms through a tunnel with a leaderboard in the left-hand corner. White text at the top of the game view reads:

A white title appears over a red background, flanked by two black semi-circles.

“I’m interested to see what Sophy will do for the future of practice. If you’re wanting to become a faster driver, it sounds obvious but the first thing I would suggest is to surround yourself with people who are really fast and can both guide you and motivate you to drive faster.”
Emily is racing Sophy Violette. She presses pedals on the simulator as she drives. Other racers are also shown attempting this course and their faces reflected in the video game screens.
EMILY JONES
“Having GT Sophy do something perfectly and show you how to do it—it’s like, thanks Sophy! Now I can just try and perfect that and go faster.”
Emily’s blue race car pulls up alongside Sophy Violette as they turn a corner on a sunny cliff. Emily smiles as she takes the lead. Now the two black half-circles return on the red background. White text on the larger left dot reads:
