> The Bose Magic Carpet was the original version of all of these powered suspension cars 20 years ago.

No, the Citroen Activa active suspension was in production from 1996.



The Activa/Xantia suspension was nice, but it was nowhere near the Bose Magic Carpet.

It was a nice, mass market adaptive damping suspension.

The Bose is a fully active linear actuator, and fast. It can move your wheel around a speed bump independently. It's awesome. It was also north of $100k just for the suspension and iirc was never used in mass production.
