Project "sound"

[RALLYBP_94]

Has anbody heard of the project that Bose has been working on for the last 24 years.? It's called Project "sound" and it's a suspension system.
I've seen the demonstration videos and I have to say that it's really impressive.
here's one:

I expected it to be sound related so i turned my speakers down, accidentally off, as he drove over and his head was shaking from side to side I thought he was rocking out

There was supposedly one where they actually made the lexus jump a 2x4 in the road... I have yet to see it though.

I mean there's a 2x4 (piece of wood) lying in the middle of the road and the Lexus, using the force of the electromagnets in the suspension, leaves the ground and clears the 2x4. As I said, I haven't seen the video and I don't know if this is really true.

BTW, all the demonstration videos are on the Bose web site
