Yep. Glad to see someone else is on board, on board, see what I did there, with these being totally worth it. Go hoverboards! I can totally see our roads going from concrete to metal soon.

From some recent articles I've read, that might be something we look into doing anyway. Interesting research being done by Toyota in conjunction with some university in Japan (Tokyo maybe? I don't remember!). All I really remember is powering vehicles through metal rails like high speed trains do for some cost efficient renewable energy.
