A car that can jump over obstacles
`In a cleared-out parking lot at Bose Corp.’s headquarters, a test driver guides a Lexus at 25 mph toward what would appear to be an unfriendly introduction to a two-by-six lying on its side, ankle-high.
A childlike grin spreads across 76-year-old Amar Bose’s face as the vehicle does something most can’t: jump over the board, like a cat bounding over a fallen log.
The sedan’s experimental, Bose-designed suspension, driven by four electromagnetic motors, had quickly pulled each wheel up, then down.’
