It looks like companies are racing to create a hoverboard before Marty McFly arrives in the future on October 21 of this year. First, it was the Hendo Hoverboard. Now Lexus wants in the game.From USA Today...
"Toyota's luxury brand Lexus said Wednesday it has created a hoverboard. Yes, a hoverboard -- as in something that looks like a skateboard without wheels that can hover above the ground like the character Marty McFly rode in the Back to the Future movie trilogy. 'It works. It's not a hoax,' says spokesman Moe Durand. Lexus says it won't be sold. It's for demonstration purposes. It operates using magnetic levitation, with liquid nitrogen-cooled superconductors and permanent magnets that 'combine to allow Lexus to create the impossible.' It says it is working with the world's leading experts in super-conductive technology."
I ask you, when was the last time a company created a technology that it didn't eventually sell?
