It’s probably a Lexus marketing tool for something, but if they do have a working hover board that would be cool. How they create friction to turn, etc is another matter.

When they have a video of them showing someone step on it and ride it, I’ll believe.

Hoverboards have been around for the last 2 years about. The only issue is they operate on non magnetic conductor surfaces so unless we are building sidewalks with aluminum or similar metals, you won’t go far. We are still a ways away from Marty McFly.
