The Smoothest Suspension

Every automotive suspension has two goals: passenger comfort and vehicle control. Comfort is provided by isolating the vehicle's passengers from road disturbances like bumps or potholes. Control is achieved by keeping the car body from rolling and pitching excessively, and maintaining good contact between the tire and the road.

Unfortunately, these goals are in conflict. In a luxury sedan the suspension is usually designed with an emphasis on comfort, but the result is a vehicle that rolls and pitches while driving and during turning and braking. In sports cars, where the emphasis is on control, the suspension is designed to reduce roll and pitch, but comfort is sacrificed.

Bose engineers took a unique approach to solving this problem, and the result is an entirely new approach to suspension design.

Wii Balance Board

"The Wii Balance Board is a pressure sensitive, wireless balance board that is placed on the floor so someone can stand on it in front of the TV while playing special video games. The Wii balance board senses weight and shift in balance in any direction, and so by simply standing on the Wii board during activities allows players to follow along to movements ensuring they have control of the on-screen activities."
