All control and car lovers will want one like these.

Watch this video and specially the end ... they say it will not be included in what the public will be able to have but I bet we can hack it to get this special function.

Bose suspension

Disregard the Fench or turn the volume down but look at this amazing development.

Wow.
 
That is an example of applied control theory. It is actually quite simple and the theory has been around for years. What makes this possible is the regenerative linear motors and the feedback at a reasonable cost. If you want the suspension stiffer just increase the derivative gain. I bet there is some adaptive tuning going on so the car weight afects the gains but it doesn't need to be that accurate.

Thanks Pierre, I want that on my next car. Especially the last bit as the driver jumped that obstacle. Impressive for sure!

I can ear the noises of keyboards in hackers halley, already finding ways to get to them "special" functions :)
