My greatest Technologue disappointment—the tech I most fervently hoped for that never happened—is the Bose electromagnetic suspension, first demonstrated on a leaping Lexus in 2004. Imagine my delight, then, when I discovered a different type of electromagnetic suspension at CES 2022, courtesy of Massachusetts-based Indigo Technologies. Instead of employing God’s own doorbell clacker to move the suspension, this one leverages the individual wheel-hub-mounted electric traction motors to smooth the ride.
Like Amar Bose’s linear motion, with each being controllable separately.
