Sony could help Toyota to build a dog, but Honda can build such a concoction if it chooses alone. I don't believe Honda sees a market here, otherwise it would be done already.

But, they'd also most likely have the need for Metro, maybe a car depending on the specific location, and most of all walking. I lived in a Metro area, and most people didn't use their cars very often, but still owned one. I doubt somebody would buy this and own a car, at the price I'm guessing it'll go at (atleast $2,000) that live in congested areas, which most of have a metro system. And even if it does sell, what happens when they get on one of these metro systems? Got Handling, motorcycles are fun, but because of the height of this vehicle I'd presume it wouldn't be capable of more than 15 mph without technology such as the Segway uses, and with such a high price tag we know what happened to it.

It probably won't be safe at speeds past 15 miles per hour, even with a fair amount of technology packed into it. Just like the Segway, people wouldn't have much of a reason to buy one of these things aside from it being a toy. It does look like a wheelchair.
