Due to autonomous driving trends, designers and engineers will have to adjust automotive seating to improve its comfort and ergonomics, introduce sustainable fabrics, and incorporate smart seating systems. The concept of the seat will undergo significant changes as autonomous car interior will become relaxing and working space. Are you eager to learn more about the latest developments in self-driving car design? Read this exclusive eBook prepared for you by Automotive IQ experts.
The eBook focuses on:
For the automotive seating, the main industry trends include car-sharing and self-driving cars. The next generations seats should learn to adjust by themselves and have robust materials to endure frequent use. What will be the impact of these trends on car seats?
AI-enabled VR and AR work extremely well with the need to rework and redesign the car seats. Virtual reality allows a vast amount of high-dimensional data, which the domain of car design typically falls into, to be visualized easily in person – in a format that is experiential, not just conceptual. Design engineers can now transform the design workflow, easily change the parameters of models, uniquely configure the seats, and visualize its impact to both the vehicles as well as its occupants. Engineers can now change seat configurations on the fly, test a large number of combinations quickly and cheaply – all without having to wait months for and spend thousands on a demo product.

Car seats are changing. Gone are the days when basic cloth upholstery and manual adjustment are the accepted norm. Instead, along with rising demand for premium materials, electronic controls and greater degrees of adjustment, increasing levels of vehicle autonomy are revolutionizing the way car seats function and integrate into the cabin. But does this mean that seats are becoming smart?
