LOL

Me thinks that Beamers as in X5's have this type of technology!

Adjusts to the slope, even controls the speed you go down hill! (think thats the Range Rover)

bassically the system reads the speed your travelling, yaw rate (turning rate) and suspension travel. from those it can calculate the optimal suspension stiffness and possibly ride height depending on the system.

it adjusts all 4 dampers bump and rebound characteristics etc. essntially irrelevant unless your in top motorsport or vehicle development.

some rally teams use it, prodrive are big on developing the controllers for it etc.

the freelander ahs a pretty good system on it, named the "Rock and Roll" due to the way it softens the suspension when off road
