How does the Audi A8's active suspension work for a smoother ride?

I've heard about active suspension technology in the Audi A8 but I don't quite understand how it works. Can someone explain it to me?

The active suspension in the Audi A8 uses an air compressor and sensors to adjust the height and firmness of the car's suspension in real-time. This allows for a smoother ride and better handling on various road surfaces.

The active suspension in the Audi A8 also includes a predictive function, using cameras and GPS data to anticipate upcoming road conditions and adjust the suspension accordingly for even greater comfort and stability.
