1990's Lincoln Mark VIII had air suspension, and lowered itself at speed to improve aerodynamics. Couple that with the radar used in today's cars for adaptive cruise control and whatnot, and you could control air dams and side skirts - including raising them up when something in the road needed clearance, such as a truck tire tread.
