There's a reason thats a first gen Lexus in the video. I remember reading about this in Road&Track about 10 years ago. Although Fred is wrong, the Infiniti Q45a used an active suspension, but it was hydraulic in nature, not like the Bose system. It is really cool though. There was a lot of research into active suspension in the 80s and 90s, (Lotus even had it in F1, until it was outlawed) but not so much lately. I think manufacturers decided they couldn't charge enough extra for it to justify its developement This is not new. There’s a reason thats a first gen Lexus in the video.

It's still an amazing system, thankfully they're bringing it out of mothballs now that higher voltage systems are operating onboard cars (read hybrid). You're right on the whole sweet technology though, it's amazing!! Andi, Infinity already ran this system in their Q45a I think almost 10 years ago.
