The video was Froggy, but the suspension system is by the American company, Bose. Here's a link to their site: Click here.

As I understand it, a conventional suspension uses a combination of springs and dampers to determine how much a wheel moves under a given set of circumstances. Any particular combination yields a compromise that may be optimized for either handling or comfort, but not both. The Bose suspension replaces the springs and dampers with a set of computer controlled linear electric motors than can move each wheel up or down. If the sensing and controlling algorithms are right, you can have both handling and comfort.
