Lifts that move in three dimensions is a very obvious idea, and I'm sure
most boys have had that idea by the age of 10. It's not at all clear how
magnets make it safe.

Yes, I'd be interested in seeing details of what backup systems they have
planned in event of a power cut. And if someone hacks the control system they
could cause absolute chaos.
