I don't think the electro-rheological fluids will become obsolete... ever. Infact I think they're the next standard in shock absorbtion for mass produced vehicles. Even Bose said that they don't expect this technology to be on anything but the most expensive cars and even then as an option. Maybe with time the price will come down but when you have oil and iron with a high voltage converter cost compared to a bose SUSPENSION system it's highly unlikely bose will be doing any "denting" in the industry for quite some time. I wonder if cars will still be burning fossil fuels when bose finally makes it into production vehicles, lol. "Beam me up scotty!"
