Many consumers pay special attention to the performance of new cars in terms of price, space and active and passive safety before buying a car. As a user, although they will make their own thinking about the space and comfort of the car, it seems that the focus is mostly on the surface of the wheelbase length and the distance between the front and rear rows. In fact, it affects the ease of use of the car. In addition to whether the space is spacious, the function of the seat is also worthy of consumer attention.

Today's new cars are emphasizing on intelligence and networking, and many car companies are intensifying their efforts in cooperation with Internet companies to create car-machine systems in areas such as autonomous driving and car-machines. In comparison, car seats that still rely on manual or electric adjustment seem to be far from intelligent. However, some seat manufacturers began to pay attention to this part of the market space, and put forward the concept of intelligence.

For example, Lear, a well-known international car seat supplier, proposed the concept of ConfigurE +. This concept is based on the seat slide rails that pass through the car, so that the seat can achieve a large range of forward and backward movement, as well as rotating and folding functions. Using the concealment of the slide rails to provide power for the seat, you can achieve seat back angle adjustment, front and rear position adjustment, seat surface heating and cooling, equipment charging and other functions.

Users can use the APP on the phone to adjust the layout of the seats in the car. For example, when parking, the seats can be adjusted to face to face, which is convenient for organizing business meetings. The seat back can also be folded into a table board that can be used for home entertainment and dining, and is equipped with multiple charging ports. When the vehicle needs to carry objects, the APP can be used to move and fold the two or three rows of seats forward, creating a spacious space for use.

The intelligent seat Etu Intu ™ is a further evolution of Lear's intelligent seat. Using the communication technology of the Internet of Vehicles, the Yitu intelligent seat makes a pre-judgment of possible collisions and activates the intelligent system to automatically adjust the seat to a safer position. In addition, the bio-sensing BioBridge ™ technology uses the radio frequency sensor of the bio-sensing device to monitor the driver's heart rate and breathing frequency changes, and then determine the occupant's fatigue, and activate functions such as heating and massage to help the occupant focus.

ProActive Comfort technology uses intelligent seat adjustment technology, which mainly transmits the pressure distribution of the seat to the computer by the pressure sensor, inflates and deflates the seat back and both side wings, and adjusts the rider to a suitable riding posture. It will even adjust the shape and temperature control system of the seat according to the pressure caused by the occupant's wearing, so that the seat can more suit the occupant's feelings in shape and temperature.

In addition to seat suppliers providing solutions for the future of intelligent seats, auto companies are actually planning in this regard. For example, Skoda's SKODA VISION E concept car, its seat can be rotated outward by 20 ° according to whether the door is opened, which is convenient for passengers to get in and out of the car. After the door is closed, the seat rotates to its original position.

Lexus is also applying a new concept in the concept car LF-30. The layout of the front passenger seats refers to the design of the first-class seats of the aircraft, presenting an interior room with a wide view and no lack of privacy, and the large-sized gesture control screen equipped on the passenger seats. Greatly improve the comfort and convenience of the inner room.

The rear seats use artificial muscle technology, which can be automatically adjusted according to the passenger's body shape and weight, and support a variety of work modes, including lying, relaxing and reminding functions.

BMW is also full of technology in the back row of its concept car iNEXT. First of all, it uses ergonomic big data to design a seat shape that can meet most users. The height and angle of the seat back and the length of the seat are all fixed layout.

Furthermore, the Shy Tech technology system allows passengers to send commands to control music playback and other functions on the fabric of the front center trim and rear seats, while touching the front trim and rear rows. The seat fabric will emit LED light graphics to give users visual feedback.

Electrification and intelligence have become an important part of the future development of automobiles, and seats have also benefited from it, from a fixed, single functional part in the past, to a dynamic and intelligent existence, with greater flexibility and personality The degree provides users with different layouts, maximizes the space in the car, allows passengers to communicate face-to-face, and increases the safety of occupants by expanding the application of digital products.
