Mercedes-Benz introduced Magic Body Control with !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , here’s a more informative ad. This impressive technology uses two 3D cameras that scan the road ahead and a suspension that adapts based on this info.

I knew the Germans couldn't leave something like this up to a parable. They just HAD to do a technical walk through. Also, I think I read somewhere that because of the resolution and processing power, magic body control is only really active when its confidence level is very high, which translates to about 10% of the time. Still, better than nothing, and its a good start, but its not full time magic.

I was thinking, "yeah, so what?" And then I saw the car driving over that big hump of asphalt. Wow.

At speeds up to 130km/h, you want it to be confident so you don't go wobbling off into a guardrail because it compensated for a bump or divot that didn't exist!

I think this is amazing. I don't care for ultra smooth luxurious cars (sports/muscle car please!) but I want this just so I can tell people about it.
