This Is Why Bose's Witchcraft-Spec Suspension Never Became A Thing
That old video of Bose's incredibly flat electromagnetic suspension has done the rounds online plenty of times, but why didn't the system reach production? The guys from CNET explain why, after looking at the incredible technology in action
The last time we saw this technology at work, the question “why are we not funding this?” was posed. The answer is fairly simple: the system was too heavy and too expensive for commercial viability, although elements of the technology were used for the company’s ‘Bose Ride’ seat for truck drivers.

Mercedes have a very similar system on the newer S Class…
it can bunny hop so when can it do 360’s????
I think the main reason was the cops didn’t want a bunch of cars that could jump over their spikes. Or jump a curb without damaging the car.
