I would guess this feels quite a bit different, the clearmotion tech puts electrohydraulic actuators in every corner of the vehicle and is proactively pushing and pulling wheels. MagneRide isn't even active (maybe semi-active, not sure) - never mind predictive and proactive.

except that this demo isn't ClearMotion, and instead of actuators they are using magnetic fluid and valvework...

much like every luxury brand has tried at least once or twice in the past 30 years.

The demo in the page of the "NIO ET9 SkyRide Fully Active Suspension system test"? - I presume they included that to show the legacy systems? If you do a technical dive through the CM technology it's clearly not just a magnetic fluid/hydraulic, this site gives a good breakdown: https://mf-topper.jp/articles/10003931
