<p>The invention relates to a crash box having changeable rigidity or a method for changing a rigidity of a crash box (CB), wherein the crash box is installed between a transverse beam (QT) and a longitudinal beam (LT) of a vehicle, wherein a first sensor (B1) installed in the crash box for detecting an accident situation outputs a signal. According to the invention, rigidity is changed as a function of the signal, and a plausibility checking element (B2) installed in the crash box affects the change in rigidity in addition to the signal.</p> |
