You really have little knowledge of how inventions like this move the human race forward. Some inventions have little practical purpose, yet the knowledge and engineering created can spread across countless other applications. Some argue that going to the moon was a waste of resources when compared to what was derived. Yet in the pursuit of the moon we made incredible strides in many technologies. Microprocessors for example. Which lead the way to computing as we know it. To say this is ridiculous is to not understand technological advances as a whole on a macro scale.
Well, we've had thruster based tech like that since the 60's and 20 years ago a dude in his garage could have cooked up a balancing system like that with an Arduino. Also, the car was hollowed out. I'm having a hard time seeing which tech was advanced here? This was just a really really cool publicity stunt.

I don’t know a single useful use of this car if it’s even gonna happen at all. Imagine how much good he can be doing with all that money.
