摘要

Methods, systems, and vehicles are provided for controlling an angle of a wheel assembly for vehicle events. In accordance with one embodiment, the vehicle includes a wheel assembly, a structural member, a detection unit, an actuator, and a processor. The detection unit is configured to detect an event for a vehicle that has a wheel assembly. The processor is coupled to the detection unit, and is configured to utilize an actuator to adjust an angle of the wheel assembly in a manner that guides energy absorption or transference from the event toward the structural member.
