That video is insane. The car with the Bose suspension actually jumped over that obstacle in the road.

Fascinating

I wonder how much heavier it made the car... The Bose system

Also the Bose car seems to be riding high... Would be nice lowered to stock height

Very old, old news. System had too many draw backs for production and was never adopted by any auto maker.

I thought Bose only produced hi-fi audio systems
Still, it wouldn't beat Lincoln's Town Car in terms of "yachtness"

Bose was saying 10-15 years ago that they needed to reduce system weight by 50%. Maybe they were never able to. An article:

"Unfortunately, the system was too heavy and expensive to put into production, and the project was shelved. Instead, it was repackaged into a suspended driver's seat for heavy-duty, long-haul trucks and called the Bose Ride System."
