A motor vehicle seat having a metal frame, the seat defining a volume (V). The frame is configured to be electrically connected to a chassis of the motor vehicle so as to generate a Faraday effect. The seat includes an electronic and/or electrotechnical device having at least one electronic control unit and/or a motor connected to a power cable. The cable is intended for connection to a power supply of the motor vehicle for the at least one electronic control unit and/or motor. The electronic and/or electrotechnical device is at least partially arranged within the volume (V) of the seat.

A first seat device includes a first pressure sensor attached to a seatback to detect pressure, a second pressure sensor attached to the seatback at a position below the first pressure sensor to detect pressure, and a control unit configured to control the angle of the seatback based on a value of the first pressure sensor and a value of the second pressure sensor.

A suspension mat for a vehicle seat comprises a spring element, and a guiding support for at least one electrical cable. The guiding support is molded onto the spring element.

A display device and an electronic control unit are included in a vehicle. A graphical user interface of the display device is configured to display a graphic display object. The electronic control unit is configured to receive an orientation signal of a vehicle element. The orientation signal includes information about at least one of a position and an orientation of the vehicle element being in at least one of a first element position and a first element orientation. The electronic control unit is configured to adjust a position of the graphical user interface as a function of, or based on, the orientation signal, such that a position of the graphical user interface relative to the vehicle element is within a predefined tolerance.

A crash-arresting unit for a vehicle seat may have a locking element and an actuating unit. The locking element can be brought into form-fitting engagement with a mating element via the actuating unit. The actuating unit may be an electromechanical actuating unit having a fusible wire, where destruction of the fusible wire frees a movement of the locking element in the direction of the mating element.

An auxiliary member attachment structure for a vehicle seat. The auxiliary member attachment structure includes an auxiliary member at an outer side of the vehicle seat. The vehicle seat has a seat cushion that is capable of transitioning from a seating position to a storage position aligned with a seat back. The auxiliary member being rotatable, about a shaft in the vehicle seat extending along the seat width direction, between a reference position at which the auxiliary member is upright and a holding position at which the auxiliary member is rotated closer to a front side of a vehicle. The auxiliary member attachment structure further includes a rotation restriction unit configured to restrict rotation of the auxiliary member at the reference position when the seat cushion is at the seating position, and cease the restriction of rotation of the auxiliary member when the seat cushion is at the storage position.

A seating arrangement includes a base, a seat mounted to the base, the seat having a width extending from a first side to a second side and a length extending in a forward direction from a rear side to a front side. The seating arrangement further includes a backrest positioned adjacent the rear side of the seat. The seating arrangement further includes a cushion length adjustment (CLA) coupled to the seat at the front side. The CLA has a width bisected by a centerline. A first side of the CLA is at least partially defined by a first curved surface extending downward in the forward direction and extending downward toward the base away from the centerline. A second side of the CLA is at least partially defined by a second curved surface extending downward in the forward direction and extending downward toward the base away from the centerline.

Systems and methods for automatically adjusting the interior cabin of an autonomous vehicle are provided. In one example embodiment, an autonomous vehicle can include a main body including a floor and a ceiling that at least partially define an interior cabin of the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle can include a partition wall that is movable within the interior cabin of the autonomous vehicle. The partition wall can extend between the floor to the ceiling of the main body. The autonomous vehicle can include a computing system configured to receive data indicative of one or more service assignments associated with the autonomous vehicle and to adjust a position of the partition wall within the interior cabin based at least in part on the one or more service assignments.

In one aspect a vehicle may include a motor, a drive train and chassis, a battery, a seat assembly including a seat in which people can sit, at least one processor, a camera accessible to the at least one processor, and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive data pertaining to at least one characteristic of a person and to, based on the data, adjust at least one mechanism within the vehicle.

It is provided an adjusting device for the longitudinal adjustment of a vehicle seat, comprising at least one rail for defining a longitudinal seat axis along which a seat base of the vehicle seat is adjustable, and for supporting at least one adjusting unit of the adjusting device, and at least two shiftably guided adjusting units arranged one behind the other along the longitudinal seat axis, to which the seat base is to be fixed in order to be adjustable along the longitudinal seat axis. The at least two adjusting units are adjustable relative to each other along the longitudinal seat axis, and each adjusting unit is assigned a separate drive for the power-operated adjustment along the longitudinal seat axis.
