That Bose system was mostly smoke and mirrors. They programmed the road surface into the system so it already knew where bumps and holes in the road were on the fixed path it travelled. It's far harder to build a system that can react to real-world conditions in real-time.
Thats why the Bose system never made it past that faked demo, it's why active suspension hasn't been implemented anywhere on vehicles that travel public roads.
I think Cadillac or was it Chevy Corvette (both?) put out a pretty decent active magneto-fluid damping system that can stiffen a corner strut in millisecond/s ... the demo was to prevent a wheel from being pushed down into a pothole as it drove over.. the system worked to keep the wheel up and would ride "in air" to pass over the pothole.
I'd be happy with that on my S, for all the potholes we have around here.

Active suspensions often cause motion sickness, even for the driver. The disconnect between what your eyes think you should be feeling and your ears motion sensors can trigger discomfort.
It's a big step in the direction of active suspension but still not anywhere near the level of what the Bose system did or what a full active suspension does. This is a step above what magneto-fluid systems do. A little bit of pull and push, a little bit of reading the road. Not unlike where EAP is vs FSD.
