Look ahead vehicle suspension system

A method performed by a wheel-based vehicle configured to travel along a roadway environment, the wheel-based vehicle having both a first suspension element servicing a first wheel and a second suspension element servicing a second wheel, the method comprising:

• generating, based on reflected electromagnetic waves associated with the roadway environment, a first prediction that the first wheel will contact a first roadway condition at a first time and a second prediction that the second wheel will contact a second roadway condition at a second time;
• selectively configuring the first suspension element to a first suspension setting in response to the first prediction;
• and
• selectively configuring the second suspension element to a second suspension setting in response to the second prediction, wherein the first suspension setting differs from the second suspension setting.

A wheel-based vehicle configured to travel along a roadway environment, the wheel-based vehicle comprising:

• a plurality of sensing devices each being configured to produce sensed data, a first of the plurality of sensing devices comprises an electromagnetic sensing device that produces first sensed data representative of the roadway environment;
• processing circuitry configured to, based on the sensed data produced, identify both a first drive-related prediction associated with a first wheel and second drive-related prediction associated with a second wheel;
• and
• the processing circuitry being configured both to respond to the first drive-related prediction by delivering a first suspension adjust signal to alter a setting of a first suspension element associated with the first wheel and to respond to the second drive-related prediction by delivering a second suspension adjust signal to alter a setting of a second suspension element associated with the second wheel, the setting of the first suspension element differing from the setting of the second suspension element.
