Revolutionary Active Suspension System

It's in French but you can clearly see how effective Bose's new active suspension is. Instead of using buffers and springs, this prototype is simply using magnets. That means that as soon as the car "feels" a bump, the wheel lifts itself to avoid it and when the car turns or brakes, the suspension remains completely stiff, giving remarkable handling.

I forgot to say: The jumping car at the end is just for technical demonstration. They won't commercialize suspensions that jumps.

And it's not magnets but solenoids.

They say that this system may be in production cars in 4 years.

That was freaking awsome. Yea the french is not so cool but the suspensions totally brings the awsomeness meter way up. The jumping was cool but the leaning into the turns I think was the most impressive.

Looks just like a slightly improved Mercedes-Benz invention called Active Body Control(ABC), which is out on the market for maybe 8 or more years now.

A french language film. Filmed in Boston USA, I believe Bose is an American Company. The product is good.

That has been out for some time now. I first saw it in an auto mag, can remember which one though, a few years back, still cool to see the future today
