It would be interesting to see how it does on a real road I seriously doubt it works worth a shite on a road with consecutive holes

I'd still imagine it to be a much smoother ride.

Sounds like something that will break easily and cost thousands to repair

Bose had a system like 20 years ago, I think the auto industry crushed it or something. Omar Bose had a LS400 that could lift it's tires over a 2x4 at speed.





Now that's an ollie..

Next they need to invent a way to automatically lift your truck nuts over speed bumps.

I need that in my SUV. I already had to buy new tires at 29k miles because the roads are so bad here.

never hear of that leap froggin' mutha either...

that sum bitch didn't lift the wheel, it pushed the car up!!!

so, you got length of the travel of the shock, plus the lift to clear the bump and an extra 4-inches to boot, not to mention the rears and the timing involved...

What do they cost to replace when they go bad? most likely more than the fusion is worth

It'll be years before GM figures out this technology. But at least they still the engineering marvel of wifi in some of their vehicles.

Wouldn't be difficult for GM, they already have magnetorheological fluid shocks for a semi-active suspension, just have to add the sensors.

Totally gonna look into this in about 10 years if I still live in NOLA. By then they should have the bugs ironed out.

I like how you repeated yourself. One for the Tahoe and one for the Yukon.

Cool, but I guess a pothole followed closely by a big bump would be a serious bitch.
