How does the Audi A8's adaptive air suspention system work?

I am looking to purchase an Audi A8, but I am curious about its adaptive air suspension system. Can you explain how it works and its benefits?

The adaptive air suspension system in the Audi A8 uses air springs and electronically controlled dampers to adjust the stiffness of the suspension according to driving conditions. This provides a smoother and more controlled ride, while also improving handling and reducing body roll.

Not only does the adaptive air suspension system improve ride quality, but it also has an integrated lift mode that raises the vehicle for extra ground clearance when needed, such as driving over rough terrain or steep inclines.
