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.

thats pretty amazing. ive worked with electromagnetism for a long time, but never seen a system as nicely streamlined as this. it'll be nice to see the competition that springs from this
people really have to stop ragging on these engineers for being french. there are hundreds of engineering corporations here in the US that contract with french companies for expertise...especially Dassault and Potez...yeah i agree the french can be assholes to us in some respects, but talent is talent
5/5

@valhallas_end - The engineers aren't French, the commentry said that the development was a cooperation between Bose and MIT.. If you listen to the commentry you'll realise the interviews are English dubbed to French, I live in Switzerland and this is the kind of thing you see on TV all the time.. It's very confusing because I can't concentrate on one language or the other despite being fluent in both.

I've never seen a Renault that I'd actually want to buy, but I'm married to a French woman, so at least one piece of fine engineering has been exported from France! :-)

worzel - yes i actually realized they werent french after i commented, but i knew this was dubbed. i was just responding to comments made above about the french, misdirected as they were. heh its nice to actually see someone responding levelheadedly to an error - this site has become a bit too explosive towards mistakes
