Dont know if this has ever been posted before, but this is a video of the Active Suspension Initialization. I never really knew the Active Suspension had so much ability!

(Come to think of it, seeing this video again is way better than looking at pictures of C's feet!

So if there is this much control over the suspension, why don't we have a button to raise the front end for travelling over roadway irregularities like raised driveway lips, speed bumps, et cetera? Doesn't that make sense given the car capabilities???

I hadn't seen this video until now. The thing that surprises me is the magnitude of the range of motion the active system is capable of. I had no idea!
