I thought the 2019 were supposed to have this feature. I was sad when I didnt get it.

Audi missed the deadline at launch date and didn't finish the software in time.

Do you know what physical changes are made to the car to support this? If I already have the active suspension, would that be enough for this maybe to work?

Yes I do but unsure what your question is? (Sorry). If you don't have the predictive suspension, there's nothing you can do to retro-fit it back in. (with software anyways) There are hydraulic rams (thus a 48V motor) at each wheel, to start.

That said I'm not entirely sure what your question is. Start of a long day I guess..
