An ISS is a seating system that actively adjusts to improve an occupant's comfort, performance, and safety in a specific driving environment. The ISS determines the occupant's posture, position on the seat surface, and/or physiological state, for example, by applying a machine vision process. The ISS can further determine a driving environment. The ISS adjusts its settings and settings of the vehicle according to one or more factors such as an occupant's posture, the occupant's physiological state, the occupant's preferences, and/or the driving environment. The ISS can include a state machine that determines a current state and determines if a change has occurred such that the system should shift to another state that best suits this change. The ISS makes adjustment according to system settings associated with the best suitable state.

A device for adjusting a seat of a vehicle is capable of implementing functions including adjusting a position of the seat back and forth, a height of the seat up and down, and tilting or the like by using a plurality of actuators having pistons. The functions of adjusting the position of the seat back and forth, the height of the seat up and down, and tilting or the like are carried out by providing connections between a floor panel and a seat cushion frame through a plurality of actuators and a single link, and selectively moving a piston of each actuator back and forth.

The present disclosure is directed to a modular autonomous-vehicle interior. In particular, an autonomous vehicle can comprise an interior comprising a plurality of different and distinct regions. Each of the regions can comprise one or more mechanical interfaces associated therewith. The autonomous vehicle can also include, for each of one or more of the regions, at least one modular interior unit comprising an interior element and a base mechanically interfaced with the interior via the mechanical interface(s) associated with the region.

A motor vehicle having a receiving compartment, which is mounted on a vehicle console, pivotable around a vertical axis, in the area of a side wall of the vehicle console delimiting an occupant footwell of the motor vehicle. It is provided that, with regard to a line of vision, oriented in the vehicle longitudinal direction of a vehicle occupant located on a seat of the motor vehicle assigned to the relevant occupant footwell, the vertical axis is arranged on an end or end section of the receiving compartment situated counter to the aforementioned line of vision, and the receiving compartment is mounted on the vehicle console in such a way, pivotable around the aforementioned vertical axis, and is positioned in the open state in such a way, that the open receiving compartment is oriented obliquely with respect to a displacement direction of the aforementioned seat.

A vehicle seat includes a seating portion and a seat shell coupled to the seat portion to swivel. The seat shell is coupled to the seating portion by a fastener.

A communication unit obtains transport plan information for transport of a plurality of persons using an automobile, and a processor generates seat control information for moving, to an entrance or an exit, a seat specified from the transport plan information among a plurality of seats provided in the automobile by using the transport plan information, and outputs the seat control information to a seat movement control unit which controls movement of the plurality of seats.

A vehicle seat having a pivoting function about a vertical axis (Z1). The seat includes a base configured for connection to the floor (PL) of the vehicle via longitudinal rails, a support frame mounted so as to rotate on the base by means of a pivot joint (JP) of axis Z1 and three curved slide connections (G1,G2,G3), a seating portion frame connected to the support frame directly or via a raising mechanism, and a motorization device interposed between the base and the support frame and configured to cause rotational movement of the support frame relative to the base. The axis Z1 of the pivot joint is eccentric with respect to a central area of the seating portion frame.
