Mr Bose... now THATS the way to design a TRUE active body control !! I think i met this guy while he was in san diego on vaction about in 80 or 81 gottaluv his system for sure..i like the 'working in secret part'..He even looks the part too lol.. but hes cool i hope his system is really put to use its obviously head and shoulders above anything ive seen so far...
Actually no, they aren't the same thing. Lexus has been using active suspension since the LS first came out, its always been an option, even on the lesser ES300.
2:33 That's the old Mercedes S class and propably it has semi-active airmatic and not active body control. The current S class with ABC doesn't bounce like that.
Because Bose hasn't come very far they basically introduced the Idea but were confronted by the eddy current producing a 20 millisecond delay and the Delphi Automotive Cororation was first to solve the issue by adding a second damper coiled in the opposite direction and now it is an optional if not standard on all General Motors cars such as the cadillac (first used on the 2002 Caddillac Seville STS) or the Corvette.
This is true engineering. The art of automobiles is dying!! Ugh I'm so obsessed with cars, I wish I could make this video into a build-a-bear and snuggle it. To marketplace I go 🎉
Does anyone know if this is ever going to make it to market? I've been watching this since around 2002, and I have yet to see a demo that is much different now than then. But I still can't find any production models of cars with this. Apparently this has been in the works for 33 years. What gives?
Well, 42 years now. They say it’s too expensive and heavy for it to be practical. I’ve heard from other comments that there *may* be a prototype around. Not sure tho.
