A seat for a motor vehicle includes a cap in the seat back for covering an ISOFIX bar. The cap includes a cap body and a grip portion. The grip portion includes a scoop portion in the cap body for receiving a hand and an indented portion longitudinally forward of the scoop. A second seat for a motor vehicle includes a frame and an inner cover on the frame. The inner cover being generally L-shaped and located on a laterally inward side of the frame. The inner cover includes a smooth lower external surface and a smooth and recessed external upper surface.

A system and a control method can prevent interference between front and rear seats for a vehicle, and allow reclining control and slide control for the front and rear seats to be performed, to control a seat back rearward movement angle of a front seat based on a seat back angle of the front seat, a position of the rear seat, and an interval between the front and rear seats at the time of rearward reclining control for the front seat, control a rearward slide movement distance based on the seat back angle of the front seat at the time of rearward slide control for the front seat, and calculate in advance a likelihood that interference will occur between the front and rear seats so as to stop the control operation at the time of performing a rearward reclining control operation and a rearward slide control operation.

A system for adjusting one or more vehicle settings includes one or more processors, one or more occupant recognition sensors communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and configured to output an occupant recognition signal indicative of an identity of one or more vehicle occupants, and one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more memory modules store logic that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: recognize a first vehicle occupant of the one or more vehicle occupants, determine a first vehicle zone in which the first vehicle occupant is present, automatically adjust the one or more vehicle settings based on one or more occupant preference settings associated with the first vehicle occupant and the first vehicle zone.

An improved system and method for controlling a moveable object associated with a mobile platform are provided. The provided system and method generates an application specific protected volume between the moveable object and a feature of the mobile platform to be protected. The provided system and method use magnetic sensing techniques to sense the moveable object when it infringes upon the protected volume, and provide control of the moveable object responsive to sensed infringement.

A vehicle seat placement structure and vehicle are obtained capable of securing space for respective occupants seated on a driver seat and on rear seats, and securing comfort of the occupants. In a vehicle cabin of the vehicle, a pair of seats are each disposed adjacent to a first seat such that seat cushions of the pair of seats do not overlap the seat cushion of the first seat as viewed along the vehicle width direction. This enables a driver seated in the first seat and occupants seated in the pair of seats to be seated such that at least the upper body of the driver and the upper bodies of the occupants do not overlap each other as viewed along the vehicle width direction.

A vehicle provided with a vehicle interior including an interior surface and at least one interior object provided for arrangement and fixation in the vehicle interior, an electronic detection device is provided, which is adapted to detect a position of the interior object on the interior surface. The at least one interior object includes at least one drive device for a non-mechanically guided displacement of the interior object on the interior surface of the vehicle, and the electronic detection device adapted to detect the reaching of a specified fixing position on the interior surface by the interior object.

A vehicle seat with a seat part and with a seat base support-part arranged below the seat part, which is provided and designed to support the seat part, and with a seat base base-part, wherein the seat base support-part is displaceable relative to the seat base base-part along a displacement direction by means of a sliding device and wherein a rotational unit is provided, which is provided and designed so that the seat part is rotatable relative to the seat base support-part about an axis of rotation. When the seat base support-part is displaced, a displacement position of the seat base support-part is dependent on an angle of rotation of the rotational unit and, when the seat part is rotated, the angle of rotation of the rotational unit is dependent on the displacement position of the seat base support-part.

A motor vehicle seat may have a seat squab, a back rest, and kinematics for moving the vehicle seat from a use position suitable for conveying people to a non-use position or access position. The access position makes accessing a rear row of seats easier. The seat may be moved by a drive device from the use position to the non-use position, and vice versa. The seat may have a rear foot with a locking device that can be locked with a counter-element for securing in the use position. The seat may also have a protection device arranged in the region of the locking device for detecting an obstacle in a movement path of the rear foot when the vehicle seat is moved from the non-use position to the use position.

A method for operating an adjustment system for an interior of a vehicle, wherein a collision-free adjustment path from an initial configuration to a final configuration is determined in a path planning routine by the control arrangement by way of intermediate configurations, wherein a collision check is performed for the intermediate configurations, in which the respective intermediate configuration is checked for the presence of a collision based on a kinematics model and a geometry model, wherein the collision-free adjustment path is generated based on the intermediate configurations and depending on the results of the collision check. A prediction of the presence of a collision is generated for the intermediate configurations by the control arrangement with the aid of a predetermined collision model based on a trained machine learning model and that the intermediate configurations are subjected to the collision check or rejected depending on the prediction of the collision check.

A removable seat for a motor vehicle includes two hook fasteners for removably attaching the seat to front strikers that are rotatable about a lateral axis through the front strikers. A bar extends between the first hook fastener and the second hook fastener that is parallel to the lateral axis. The bar contacts the cover to prevent further rotation when the seat is rotated about the lateral axis to prevent over-rotation of the seat.
