All show and no progress.

This setup could be the perfect balance between comfort and handling.

Look at the gaps between the tires and fenders of the Bose car in the speed bump test compared with the normal car.

Really impressive, but like the youtube's first comment says, to paraphrase () this is old video, so where's the product?

That actually looks like it performs well, which is more than I can say for their audio gear.

It's like a car ollie. They had the suspension programmed to dip and pop up I guess with the press of a button.

I think Bose is trying to keep the system under $5k when it actually gets to production, but that may or may not happen.

Ok, so whos car are we going to try it on first? I don't have the air ride on mine, so it will have to be one of your cars.

That's not air. It's Bose's electromagnetic suspension. They've been working on it for decades, but it never makes it into any real cars.

Here is the full demo video of the bose active suspension. I can't believe there hasn't been a production car available with this technology yet.
