Lexus made a hoverboard... I'll bet it costs more than a Lexus!

Would be interesting......but its a Lexus so it might be a bit....dull. Make a Lambo version of it without Audi being part of it, then we can talk about a hoverboard.

It's not practical in any sense of the word. The head of the project said in the second video, if he knew before the project what the outcome would be, he wouldn't have started it. It doesn't work without the electromagnetic rails and installing them everywhere doesn't make sense.

They did prove however it can be done, and the method could be practical for other uses, just not hoverboards.

It's still cool regardless.

I think it's amazing. It is a superconductor cooled with liquid nitrogen and it also has massive magnets within it. I am really excited but, it seems like it will not be available for sale at all.

"If we would have known at the beginning, what would result at the end... we would have said, 'No, it is impossible.'."

He wasn't saying that the project was a failure and they shouldn't have done it. He was saying that the project exceeded all expectations and was amazing.

I do agree though that it will have some important ramifications in the future. I question how practical that much liquid nitrogen really is in a commercial transportation scenario.
