They claim that it responds faster. Following the article's link to the source AutoCar article, there's this quote: > “Our technology is the fastest proactive ride system that exists today,” Clearmotion CEO Shak Avadhany told Autocar in an exclusive interview. There may be other differences. I'm not very knowledgeable about all the active suspension systems available, but it seems that the most common system today may be MagneRide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagneRide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagneRide This is basically a shock absorber but with some magnetic fluid inside it whose viscosity can be adjusted. So it does not move the wheels up and down, it just adjusts the opposing force. Though it can do it quickly. There is one system on the new Audi R8 that does more: https://www.audi-mediacenter.com/en/press-releases/looking-ahead-to-the-new-audi-a8-fully-active-suspension-offers-tailor-made-flexibility-9046 https://www.audi-mediacenter.com/en/press-releases/looking-a... This seems very similar to what the Clearmotion system does, as the above AutoCar article says the Clearmotion system "works by turning a car’s dampers into actuators". So it seems the Audi R8 system and the Clearmotion system are doing similar things, but the Audi system does it "18 times a second" whereas Clearmotion technology page ( http://www.clearmotion.com/technology http://www.clearmotion.com/technology ) says "it only takes five milliseconds for the Activalve’s motor to counteract", so apparently 10 times as fast.
