Hahahaha! I can just imagine the criminal elements scrambling to get a car with this suspension system to bypass road strips laid out by the Police. Tsk tsk.

This is SOOOOOOOOOO old. I remember watching videos of this system at least 7 years ago if not more. Cool none the less.

Another “new” suspension system has been developed for military use with ferromagnetic fluid inside the struts allowing extreme differences in dampening. There are videos floating around the net of a HMMWV (or Humvee) using this system.

Yay! Now people can ignore speed bumps and jump those strips police lay down to disable vehicles. Thanks Bose!

Better video of the BOSE suspension system here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWRS-u5uipM
(Longer, more tests, in English.)

Only five or six total videos matching those search terms, oddly.

The video reminds me of old Lexus TV ads. Did Lexus use this?

Speed bumps are a real PITA. If I could just fly over them at 40mph, that would be great!

i drove a citroen xantia activa once, had the same thing going on in corners only with pnuematic suspention, felt really weird when going into corners…you exceot it to tilt.

oh, mercedes ambulances also have this, on a ferry in a car deck bihind one, and it were ruff seas, it kept perfectly level

the bose stuff looks quicker to respond to bumps tho…
