Reminds me of the suspension system on Citroens (French car maker); they always had a really smooth suspension that gave a similar perfoance to that Bose setup...

"active suspensions" were popular in F1 awhile back, I'm thinking late 80's-early 90's. Lotus had a demo video of one of their road cars with active suspension vs one without....very interesting.

as far as the "jumping" goes, I'm thinking spike strips ;)

Jumping?, still don't think it could compete with the General Lee, (Dukes of Hazard), and it sure would ruin a film like Bullit. Though if it could ride level through those down town San Francisco hills, imagine how long the suspension travel would have to be. :D

Only joking. Yes it is a brilliant next generation suspension from the current ride levellers.

Could also be a great excuse for cities to not repair their roads in the future, and as for police 'road spikes', would they have to get something like a tennis net in future? :)
