It's a concept for R&D to try stuff out and for Marketing to get people to talk about the brand. I would be surprised an active system like this would survive the lifetime of a car without an unpalatable amount of maintenance and parts replacement.
- jillesvangurp 2y agoSoftware adaptable suspension is nothing new. All this does is add some camera feedback and software smartness to the mix so it can anticipate obstacles and make real time adjustments to minimize their impact. That software will run fine for as long as the chips last. And technically the whole point here is to reduce shock impact which probably helps reducing the amount of wear and tear on the parts. It does look cool though and probably having a lot of cars jumping over things on the highway would not end well. But it is neat technology.
- onlypassingthru 2y agoThis technology may trickle down to regular cars. If a car was smart enough to lift, or just prevent dropping, each tire as it drove over a pothole, it might prevent a blowout and accident on the highway. Pretty neat, if you ask me.
