active suspension

Dynamic ride control

Active suspension is a vehicle suspension system that uses sensors and powered actuators to continuously adjust to road conditions and driving dynamics, rather than relying purely on passive springs and dampers.

The system can raise or lower the vehicle, reduce body roll in corners, and smooth out bumps in real time: The sports car's active suspension kept it flat through the turns.

More sophisticated and expensive than conventional suspension, it appears mainly in luxury and performance vehicles.
