CNET is reporting that Lexus has created a working Hoverboard.

The Japanese car maker released a short promotional video of what it's calling a "real, rideable hoverboard" to its YouTube channel on Tuesday, ever so briefly showing off the prototype to the world.

The clip begins with several seconds of a skateboarder riding along who then stops and slowly walks over to a Lexus-branded hoverboard that would make Marty McFly jealous. Of course, the clip ends right as the rider's about to step onto the hoverboard, so we don't actually see the craft in action, but it's a promising first step from an unexpected source.

...

We'll learn more about the company's plans for the prototype on October 21, the day Marty McFly, Jennifer Parker and Doc Brown went back to the future in the second installment of the film. Maybe Lexus will have some drone dog-walkers to show off as well.
