Not too keen on steer-by-wire without a physical backup. Moreover, some of this isn’t new. The “smart” chassis idea was tried, and worked, decades ago by Lotus.
Not a fan of drive by wire either.
What Lotus did was entirely different. Not just considerably simpler, but something else entirely that you can spec as option in many cars nowadays – active suspension, or dynamic suspension. Sensors that stiffen suspension independently to reduce roll etc – or soften suspension on the press of a button.
They also didn’t invent it, Citroen did 30 years prior. Lotus only refined it through computer assistance. The Citroen DS for example had said hydropneumatic suspension. Lotus just made it electronically actuated.
The closest, in my opinion, to the proposed new system are skyhook systems, like the Cadillac RSS (road sensing suspension) and the Toyota Celsior Skyhook. Even the Nissan Cedric with its DUET-SS Super Sonic Suspension system (had to google the name, too awesome not to mention).
Difference here being that they use Sonar, and not camera based systems. The effect is the same though, i assume. The Lotus system was reactive (as soon as a sensor reads load/lean, it reacts) whereas these newer skyhook systems are active, “reading” the road ahead and adjusting accordingly.
It actually looks quite impressive, as can be seen here:
And yes, you’re seeing that right. It actually jumps the car over an obstacle.
