Yes but one of the nicest things one could do with cheap sensors and processing technology is build an active suspension system* (ala banned in F1 fully active suspension) for reasonable money. I expect that within the next 5 years we will see fully active suspension on road cars. This will mean amazing handling probably better then KW v3 but with mega smooth ride quality on straight roads. One could argue that active roll bars as in the BMW system and active dampers as the ones Audi and Ford are now using used together is very close to fully active suspension.
* Active as in both springs and shocks are to some degree replaced with electronically controlled hydraulics, this was developed years ago by ISTR Lotus or Williams F1 and then quickly baned by the rule makers.
