You know I was wondering what ever happened to this.  Read about it years ago in I think Popular Science.  Nice to see they are still working on it.

Never saw this video, but do you find it funny that when the car does jump, the driver has both hands on the steering wheel? (inside shot)  I also like how the car squats before the jump, which means the height is controllable, might be the next big thing for adjustable height suspension since air!!!

Anyways, I also remember reading this a ways back, aren't they using some magneto infused suspenion fluid that can chage visocity with voltage or something like that?

I think it's some kind of electromagnetic motors instead of shocks.  I do believe it was developed a number of years ago but Bose never really did anything with it.  I have a feeling it was too costly for practical use.  Here's more information if you guys want to check it out.

Yeah, I remember reading about it in Popular Science some years ago. Thanx for the link. You'd think one of the uber expensive (i.e. Maybach etc.) luxury brands would have developed it. As already noted-probably too expensive/complex even for them.

This is very cool
I like the idea of having sportier suspension when needed and at the same time it's more comfortable to ride with
And you can jump over NYC potholes on demand
