New Ford Fusion Skips Over Potholes
Posted on 2/19/16 at 2:27 pm

The new Fusion V6 Sport sedan will come equipped with a computer controlled shock absorber system that will automatically stiffen when sensors detect that a wheel is rolling into a pothole.
That allows the shock absorber to keep the wheel elevated as it rolls over the hole rather than dropping down into it. The action of the front shock absorber also triggers a signal for the back wheel's shock absorber to respond similarly.

Too bad New Orlean's pot holes are literally so huge they would swallow that car.
I wonder how well that system works on speed bumps

Similar technology is available on some luxury cars, including Ford's Lincoln MKZ. This is the first time a mid-sized car in this price range has offered this sort of technology, though, Ford claims.
Give it another five years, and it should be available on trucks!

Did the back tire skip it?

This kind of shite pisses me off, I hope it's never made street legal. There's no way one of those should be on a public road.
