https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-car...eed-sway-bars/ The new Touareg uses active anti-roll bars, split in half by a 48V electric motor which can vary the effective strength of the bar to suit driving conditions. |

Or you can do what Citroen did with the 'Activa' system:

A few videos of the Activa system in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMJbUsDZOzI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0EtQNufzTw https://youtu.be/oxSnutuWVrk?t=81 When you bear in mind they were not powerful cars (slightly underpowered if anything) and that in normal driving the suspension was so soft and cushioning that you could barely feel pot holes, or even speed bumps, the Activa system did an amazing job of enabling the car to compete with some much more powerful, AWD vehicles.
