Smart Seat - A Swivel Front Seat For Cars

The smart seat is a passenger car seat that swivels the person sitting on the front bench. When the seat swivels around, it is easy to step on or off the car. For an aged driver, for example, the seat is an excellent aid. The smart seat is not a new, exchangeable set, but a device which can be installed in the front seat. The device also affects the adjustment of the height level of the seat. Thanks to that, the person sitting in the car gets more footwell room and more space for the swivelling operation. The swivelling smart seat is controlled by a simple remote control.

The seat is turned into a swivelling one by a patented element which forms an entity with the seat’s height adjustment system. The smartness of the seat comes from the control electronics: smart electronics guide smart mechanics. The seat is electronically programmed to operate using the course that is optimal for the user. The mechanics of the seat is unique. There is no other device with a corresponding standard of integration in the market. The equipment is of modular construction, which allows the installation of the same device in the most common car models.

The smart seat has improved as product development has progressed on the basis of experiences the customers have gained of using it, and they have now given it a good reception.
