Why would we be interested in the technology from 1980s… oh.

Also, this is Bose of active noise cancellation - very fitting, since this looks like anc for wheels. They did anc for car seats too and sold it to the same buyer:

Bose used what it had learned from developing the active car suspension system to create Bose Ride, but it remains a niche product.

I was wondering why the heck Bose got into this. Thanks, that was the missing link -- I never thought of suspensions as noise cancellation but of course they are!
