20220009393 · 2022-01-13 ·

A device for reducing a kinetosis-related disorder in a driving mode of a vehicle includes a vehicle seat with a headrest and an actuator system. The vehicle seat and/or the headrest is adjustable by the actuator system to position the headrest relative to a head of an occupant on the vehicle seat. A support region of the headrest includes a material which is elastically switchable and the material is solidifiable when a pressure is exerted on the material such that the material stiffens when the head of the occupant sinks into the support region.

Headrest with passenger flaps

A system and method for determining whether a passenger is seated in a seating area and, based at least in part on detecting the passenger, engaging or disengaging a flap in a headrest. Such a headrest may span multiple seats so that a single headrest is used by multiple passengers. Each of one or more flaps in the single headrest may then be configured by the passenger to provide each passenger with their own privacy and comfort. By actively controlling the state of the flap, a uniform passenger experience may be created so that the flap is in the same state upon a passenger entering the vehicle. Further, examples of the headrest are designed and configured to couple directly, or indirectly, to a vehicle body, such that the headrest does not couple directly to a seat or passenger seating area.
