It wouldn't surprise me if Sony partners with some manufacturers to actually bring the Vision S to fruition.
Sony has pretty much all the know-hows that are considered crucial to an EV.
But I think the bigger point in the grand scheme of things is the very point why Dyson called it quit on the EV: too little of a barrier of entry.
EVs really ARE computers on wheels. We already have the Apple equivalent in the field: Tesla. Firstmover and the "cool kid" on the block. Now we'd just wait and see who will become the Android.
If any major car or electronic giant step up and bring a GREAT skateboard template, we might see a major shift of the car industry where a lot of small firms would design cars while using a common platform... not all that different to what cellphone industry is today.
And don't be surprised that the current major players in the field cease to matter in the future. Think about it... the major phone players from the late 90s to mid 00s: Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Blackberry, Motorola... etc. They are all in the "others" now when it comes to phone marketshare.
