Didn't GM have a camera/software combo that would relax the MR dampener before bumps at one time? It didn't have active movement - just a regular shock but with fine control over fluid movement.

I think you're saying you have a pump that moves hydraulic fluid in anticipation of a road defect/speedbump, and does it per-wheel and proportional to the correction needed. Which is fascinating.

With regards to pre-crash posture, I'm not sure if this is to move the occupants into a more advantageous position for airbag deployment or to get more crash structure involved for a dissimilar vehicle crash (sedan vs. truck). Can you talk more about it? Is there going to be IIHS/Euro NCAP/C-NCAP testing?
