Ever since I saw Bose's electromagnetic suspension system I thought it'd be the future of suspensions at some point of time, and could be used to recover energy and charge batteries much like regenerative braking. I wonder if BYD has actually got it to work in a practical product?

This is the Bose video:

Just thinking out loud here, but what if you were to put lidar sensor at the front underside of your car to scan the road ahead and then put that info into that fancy electro magnetic suspension

That's been done for many years now by various luxury car manufacturers, the difficulty is making a light enough and cost effective enough suspension to take full advantage of it. Looks like BYD has managed to do it whereas Bose failed.

Some of the other successful active suspensions Delphi (GM) Magneride, Multimatic-made suspensions

This BYD system seems very similar to the Multimatic system using motors to actually move the chassis rather than a electromagnetic fluid like Magneride.

Multimatic is used mostly in supercars (Ford GT, Ferrari, etc.)

Considering the application on U7, I don't think it's cheap

too many things to cover
