An adaptive crash structure for a vehicle includes a deformation element arranged in a region of a wheel housing of the vehicle, and an interruption system, wherein the deformation element and the interruption system are constructed so as to be able to change from a deactivated state to an activated state, wherein in the deactivated state the deformation element permits movement of a wheel housed in the wheel housing, and wherein in the activated state the deformation element causes the wheel to assume a predetermined position and the interruption system prevents a change of the position of the wheel to be transmitted to a steering wheel.
An adaptive crash structure for a vehicle, comprising:
A vehicle comprising an adaptive crash structure, said adaptive crash structure is comprising a deformation element arranged in a region of a wheel housing, which deformation element in a deactivated state permits a wheel motion, wherein the deformation element in the activated state causes a wheel arranged in the wheel housing to assume a predetermined wheel position, and wherein an interruption system prevents a transmission of a change of the wheel position to a steering wheel
