Bose Suspension (MUST SEE!)

I know this thread is off-topic, but I couldn't resist. This is the most amazing thing I've seen for cars in recent times. I can't even explain it, just watch the video provided here: http://www.automobilemag.com/news/0410_bose_bumps.wmv (3.8 MB)

Simply amazing...

Read about this suspension before. It really looks unbelieveable. Here's a few cornering and slalom pics:

Talk about slot car handling. With this kind of suspension, you definitely need a REALLY GOOD set of tires and bucket seats.

No stopping for speed bumps or potholes. Also, imagine an SUV with this suspension.

I didn't read the article but being as I saw the BOSE name assuming it's the same BOSE that makes stereos and speakers I assume it's some sort of electromagnet suspension, right?

it looks like you'll need a lot of wheel travel to make it worth while. therefore, huge wheel gap??? i dunno. pretty crazy, though. i keep watching those vids
