«Back to the Future» on TV, 10 technological inventions that went from film to reality

The second most famous means of transport of “Back to the Future” (tonight on Italia 1 at 21.20) is now almost a reality. Sadly, the time-travelling DeLorean is still a long way from human capabilities, but Marty McFly’s hoverboard is pretty close to perfecting it. Boards have had a long line of technological advancements, while retaining wheels, but in 2015 Lexus instead found a way to get rid of them by using magnetic levitation. Unfortunately the prototype remained off the market. At the moment.
