"However, to improve things further, we provided an over-
the-air software update a few months ago to increase the
default ground clearance of the Model S at highway speeds,
substantially reducing the odds of a severe underbody
impact."
How can a software update impact ground clearance at highway speeds? Is this some special capability of the suspension in a Tesla or are more cars capable of this type of adjustment?
