lavollsays...any details on hwo it works?
Doc_Msays...My understanding is that they are electromagnetic and managed by a computer which tells the wheels when to rise and fall based on sensors which detect changes in the road below. Similar to those pneumatic tables that correct for floor vibration in real-time.
fireflysays...Take a bow, Bose!
maximilliansays...Didn't Lotus have Active Suspension 15 years ago?
deathcowsays...WTF did the car HOP that last obstacle???
rottenseedsays...wait wait wait, one more time...did that effin' car decide to ollie over a beam? My god, just another cool thing that I'll never be able to afford. AWESOMES!
maatcsays...seems to me like this would raise the numbers of animals (or even kids!) that get run over without anyone noticing...
messengersays...If it ran over a squirrel, would only one side jump?
messengersays...Somebody please *wtf this
siftbotsays...Invocations (wtf) cannot be called by messenger because messenger is not privileged - sorry.
MarineGunrocksays...Yeah, the car hops. Check out Bose's site.
I heard their goal is a price tag <$5,000, though I doubt that will ever happen.
antsays...This reminds me of old Lexus' TV ads.
deathcowsays...imagine the reliability increase in so many automotive parts due to the dramatic reduction in vibrations year in and year out
Paybacksays...Actually maatc, it will probably stop them from being run over to begin with. Passed over maybe, but not crushed...
bamdrewsays...totally *wtf at the end there... awesome
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Wtf) - requested by bamdrew.
bamdrewsays...and at deathcow's point, you're probably right about reliability increases, but parts in this suspension setup probably need to be retuned or replaced at least as often as tires.
schmawysays...*wheels
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Wheels) - requested by schmawy.
