The other thing to keep in mind are the cadillac innovations that came, went, everyone else started offing them, then they were brought back...think
Guidematic (high beam auto dimming)
Heated seats
outboard lamp monitoring
etc

ABC and CVRSS pale in comparison to Nissan/Infiniti's fully active suspension introduced on the first-generation Q45. The Q's system used electronic sensors and computer controlled hydraulic actuators. The height was also adjustable with a switch on the center console.

It was and STILL is the most advanced production suspension system, ever. Unfortunately, many active Q45s are being converted or send to wrecking yards due to the cost of replacing parts.

Most advanced ever? Thats a bit of a stretch. It was certainly the first fully active suspension system, but from what Ive read, the Jag's CATS is the fastest fully active suspension system ever. I havent driven it, but Ive driven a Q45a and a STS with Magnaride. The STS was smoother over really rough surfaces...
