It a new conceptual project driven by Lexus Australia and M&c Saatchi Australia creative tech division.
Although Lexus doesn't plan to add this feature to any current cars, this concept is one step towards a larger goal:
"The Google car uses the same technology as its fleet of Lexus SUVS which has logged some 1. 6 million kilometers (one million miles)."
It shows a self driving Lexus stopping at a junction in Mountain view near the firm's HQ-then being rear ended by the car behind.'
One of our Lexus vehicles was driving autonomously towards an intersection in Mountain view, CA.'The light was green,
and they'll drive using the same software that our existing Lexus vehicles usehe same fleet that has driven self over 1 million miles
friendly looking prototype-his young son thinks it looks like a koala because of the nose-like black laser on the front-is a good bridge between the company's current test fleet of 20 specially outfitted Lexus SUVS
The prototype cars-assembled in suburban Detroit by Roush Industries-have the same array of radars, lasers and cameras as Google's fleet of Lexus SUVS,
one of Google's Lexus SUVS seemed momentarily confused when a mail truck partially blocked its path.
#Lexus Hoverboard is real, lets people glide around using magnets and liquid nitrogen Lexus has unveiled the first working hoverboard,
powered by magnets and nitrogen but we won be flying around like Back To The Future just yet.

No, not the hoverboard you saw Lexus create last month for a brand activation, but one made by a little company called Arx Pax.
which is to say it doesn't have to float over magnets nor utilize superconductors (like the Lexus hoverboard does).
#Lexus Teases A Real, Liquid nitrogen-Cooled Hoverboard Well everyone now racing to make a hoverboard
Lexus is the latest to throw its hat into the ring, posting a teaser for its own hoverboard technology with at the promise of a long,
To its credit, Lexus has the best-looking Hoverboard Ie seen, provided it does actually work, with nice bamboo surfaces and even a Lexus grille.
The car company is keeping things dreadfully close to the chest about what going on here, but says that it uses agnetic levitationand iquid nitrogen cooled superconductors
#Lexus builds car with human HEARTBEAT in connection between driver and vehicle Lexus has built a car that pulsates with light in time with the driver's heartbeat in order to display the connection between the driver and the car.
Using electroluminescent paint, Lexus have converted an RC F coupe into a on-off model they are calling the'heartbeat car'.

#Lexus Hoverboard Gets Off The Ground By Michael Greshko, Inside Science-In the classic 1989 film Back to the Future 2,
Luxury car manufacturer Lexus appears to be ready for him. This week, they announced that they've built a"real, rideable"hoverboard.
Lexus has no plans to sell the prototype board, Ars Technica reports. But even so, it's really floating there!
And on the hoverboard's official website, Lexus hints at how they pulled it off:
The Lexus Hoverboard uses magnetic levitation to achieve amazing frictionless movement. Liquid nitrogen cooled superconductors and permanent magnets combine to allow Lexus to create the impossible.
Now, Lexus, your hoverboard is really cool, but"impossible"?"Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Levitation is not only possible but also well understood from a physics perspective.
Lexus is taking advantage of key properties of materials called superconductors. As you might expect,
these sorts of materials are"super"at conducting electricity: When superconductors are cooled below a certain temperature,
More specifically, Lexus'use of liquid nitrogenhich has a temperature of-321 degrees Fahrenheitells us that they're using a high-temperature superconductor like yttrium barium copper oxide,
which is perfect for the kind of levitation Lexus is (Tony?)hawking. Yes,"liquid nitrogen"and"high-temperature"correctly went in the same sentence.
Lexus'superconductor probably starts working at about-292 degrees Fahrenheit, which sounds unfathomably cold. However, this temperature is actually quite warm by superconductor standards.
So how did Lexus float its high-temperature superconductors? By playing a magnetic trick on them.
Lexus has come up with a cool way to use superconductors to levitate a hoverboard and its rider, an impressive achievement,
if true--Lexus hasn't provided video of someone riding the board. But by now, you've probably noticed a theme:
And this is where Lexus is giving us a little movie magic. If the superconductors are in the hoverboard,
This is where Lexus'"permanent magnets"come in. Gourlay suspects that Lexus laid down a bunch of very strong rare-earth magnets underneath the"sidewalk,
"setting up a magnetic field powerful enough to support both board and, Lexus promises, a rider.
In fact, Gizmodo reports that the hoverboard only works on"special metallic surfaces.""This sort of setup is probably too expensive for your everyday skate park.
