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.

So...is this thing the same as magnetic ride developed by Delphi? and used in some Audi models and the Ferrari 599 GTB?

okey, what's the point of not comwercializing jump-suspentions?... it's a friggin' gold mine!... who won't buy stuff like that? who???... oh, one more thing: they have to make it illegal for women to buy them, somehow, somewhere, sometime, a woman will find a way to turn these safety mechanisms into a weapon of mass destruction...

Feeling the road will be the real trick, they will have to program in some feel or feedback to the system much like they do for the steer by wire systems, they are not mechanically connected to a steering component, yet it gives you feedback.

Suspension systems that allow cars to jump over speed bumps and other obstacles...you seriously think it will be successful in North America? While it has it's obvious benefits, unless you're into high preformance racing or off-roading, it's really not a necessity. The concept has been around for years no doubt, and admittedly the solenoid apparatus is a novel idea, but I think it's really nothing to get all excited about. You have automated hydraulic suspension systems that can do the same shit.

"Revolutionary"...ha...and what we watched really is a corporate advert, so of course you're going to see their product achieve excellence. I question the mogul bump test they used, too...they could of loosened the suspension and asked the drivers to sway back and forth like idiots to exacerbate things.

Yeah, what the fuck are the point of speed bumps now if you aren't gonna try and slow down to receive the least shock.

That prototype is at least a couple years ago, and magnetic suspensions are nothing new, this just takes it to the next level. There are a number of cars on the road now with magnetically adjustable dampening, though they still use springs.
