Pothole Mitigation from Ford
Looks to be quite useful tech now at a reasonable price point - "Basically, there are 12 sensors adjusting the electric dampers every two milliseconds. When the edge of a pothole is detected, the car’s computer adjusts the dampers to their stiffest settings so the wheel doesn’t fall as far into the pothole. The rear suspension can respond even faster, with a signal from the front wheel providing a pre-warning to the rear wheel well before it reaches the pothole.":



whilst JLR have quite literally got their heads in the cloud:

Love the JLR graphic - effectively the LR driver ruins their car but it's ok because the computer warns the chap in the Jyaaag following and he's alright.
