Question: Will people be able to make actual hoverboards?

Yes, look for example what lexus did:

But I don’t think that the hoverboards will be available for everybody, because they are much more expensive than a standard skateboards and not much much more useful.

Floating trains (Maglev) do have a market and are real and might get mainstream sometime soon.
