In my engineering lecture today, we had a guy from bose discussing employment oppourtunities and all the stuff you can do with various engineering degrees. He mentioned thier suspension project and it intrigued me.
From the way he was talking about it, it gives you the best of both worlds. Control and performance, while still being very comfortable.
From what I read about it, it uses variable electromagnetic motors to constantly adjust things.
Now, this sounds cool and everything. But I know its going to be hellatiously expensive. Now my only question is, will they ever enter mass production with something like this, and will they have an application that would work on our cars. I doubt the later considering the n-body platform is pretty much dead. Alero and Grand Am? Gone. Malibu moved onto something different.
Should be an interesting thing to follow.
