UX / HMI

When traveling, the infotainment on board traditional cars, and even more on self-driving vehicles, can change the user experience (UX). Italdesign offers patented solutions for on-board infotainment. At the same time, Italdesign has conceived smart interfaces that allow users to interact with the most advanced machines and technological systems using artificial intelligence (AI).

Active car seat upholstery

Technology Areas

Ergonomics, Car Components & Bodywork, UX / HMI

Keywords

Active seats, Comfort, Deformable, Flaps, Headrest, On the move, Road type, Seats, Soft robots

Innovations/Advantages

Passenger restraint, especially under sporty driving conditions, when the lateral accelerations that the passenger experiences can reach very high levels; The flaps are confìgured to fold in the contraeteci position around the passenger, to hold him or her fìrmly to the seat, even when strong lateral acceleration would tend to cause the passenger come out of the seat profìle; Silicone-based polymeric materiai, comprising areasof varying density; Optimal lateral and/or front restraint action.
