It appears in this system the dampers are stiffened before the pothole. Holding the wheel from falling into the pothole. I think in the bose system, they had active hydraulics that would adapt to road conditions.

The Ford system can only handle holes and not bumps. Along with only one pothole at a time or one pothole in diagonal positions, eg. LF + RR, or RF + LR.

I think it'll cost just as much with cars that have sport mode and economy mode. But, it's one of those things were time will tell.
