An autonomous can include one or more configurable passenger seats to accommodate a plurality of different seating configurations. For instance, the one or more passenger seats can include a passenger seat defining a seating orientation. The passenger seat can be configurable in a first configuration in which the seating orientation is directed towards a forward end of the autonomous vehicle and a second configuration in which the seating orientation is directed towards a rear end of the autonomous vehicle. The passenger seat can include a seatback rotatable about a pivot point on a base of the passenger seat to switch between the first configuration and the second configuration. Alternatively, or additionally, the autonomous vehicle can include a door assembly pivotably fixed to a vehicle body of the autonomous vehicle such that a swept path of the door assembly when moving between an open position and a closed position is reduced.

The load applied to a connecting member that connects a second horizontal shaft to a base member in a headrest for a vehicle is reduced. The headrest comprises a pillar member including a right and a left vertical shaft extending upward from an upper part of a seat back, a right and a left first horizontal shaft extending forward from upper ends of the respective vertical shafts, each first horizontal shaft including a curved section, and a second horizontal shaft extending laterally between front parts of the first horizontal shafts, a base member including a base vertical portion extending vertically ahead of the vertical shafts, a base upper portion extending rearward from an upper end of the base vertical portion, and a right and a left first hole formed in the base upper portion to have the respective curved sections or the respective vertical shafts passed therethrough, a connecting member pivotably connecting the base upper portion to the second horizontal shaft, and a pad supported by the base member.

A headrest support having a hollow cylindrical shape and into which a headrest stay is inserted, is inserted into a bracket that has a hollow cylindrical shape and is fixed to a seat back frame. A protrusion, a tip end of which is a pivot center of the headrest support, formed such that a protrusion amount thereof increases in response to insertion of the headrest stay, is provided on an outer peripheral surface of this headrest support.

A vehicle seat device includes a seat cushion having a cushion front side and cushion rear side both running in the transverse direction of the seat device. The device also includes a seat back having two backrest edge sides opposite each other and each running in the transverse direction of the seat device. The seat back is arrangeable on the cushion front and rear sides of the seat cushion in order to change a seat direction. The seat back is mounted so as to be rotatable by at least 180° around a transverse axis in order to change the seat direction. At least one headrest unit is arranged on the seat back in a displaceable manner in such a way that it can be displaced beyond the backrest edge side facing away from the seat cushion in each case and can be displaced back under this backrest edge side.

The invention relates inter alia to an actuator (15) for operating an accessory in the vehicle passenger compartment, having an actuating element movable relative to a housing between an unactuated position and an actuated position in opposite adjustment directions (y, y,) and is urged by a resetting device into the unactuated position, wherein it is possible for the actuating element to displace an element of the accessory that cooperates with the actuating element. The special feature is that the resetting device comprises at least one spring (18) configured as a spiral spring and having an outer end (25) and an inner end (26).
