Actually, there have been two car platforms I worked on that could easily swallow bumps with electronic active controls. One was the Lotus ruined Active Corvette. They had/have absoulutely no idea how to incorporate active nonlinear suspension algorithms. AND they leaked (Brit notoriety, eh?)
Anybody wanna guess what the other one was ? This car could jump curbs/kerbs and maybe even Serbs. Algorithm was constant sprung mass body force.
If I can figure out why I can no longer upload photos, I will post the surprize answer. And this car almost went down the line at Lake Orion Assembly. Too bad GM CORP went Tango Union....
