First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for controlling a suspension of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a chassis;
a wheel;
a suspension system coupling the wheel and the chassis; and
a suspension control system adapted to control a variable stiffness of the suspension system, the suspension control system comprising a controller adapted to autonomously modify the variable stiffness of the suspension system depending on a current state of motion of the motor vehicle.
