Challenges of Crash Testing Non-Traditional Seating Configurations in Autonomous Vehicles

Challenges of Crash Testing Non-Traditional Seating Configurations in Autonomous Vehicles

For more than half a century, crash safety has rested on one quiet assumption: the person in the seat is facing forward. Every dummy, every airbag, every seatbelt algorithm was built around that idea. Autonomous vehicles are now breaking it on purpose. Seats face each other around a small table. Some recline flat. Others rotate to create a lounge-style cabin.....

Next-Generation Seat Belt Technologies for Autonomous Vehicle Occupants

Next-Generation Seat Belt Technologies for Autonomous Vehicle Occupants

For more than sixty years, the seat belt has done one job and done it well: keep you anchored to your seat when things go wrong.

Redefining Passenger Safety: How Crash Testing Must Adapt for Seat Belts in Autonomous Vehicles

Redefining Passenger Safety: How Crash Testing Must Adapt for Seat Belts in Autonomous Vehicles

For more than half a century, the crash test dummy has been sitting in the same position, facing the same direction, bracing for the same kind of impact. Seat belts were engineered around one basic assumption: a human is alert, upright, gripping a steering wheel, and facing forward. That assumption is now falling apart. As self-driving technology moves from pilot....

As self-driving technology moves from concept to commercial reality, engineers are discovering that the humble car seat may be one of the hardest problems in the entire vehicle....

Modular and Reconfigurable Seating Architectures for Autonomous Mobility

Modular and Reconfigurable Seating Architectures for Autonomous Mobility

For most of automotive history, a car's interior was a fixed proposition. Two rows, forward-facing seats, a steering wheel commanding the front. That layout made sense when every vehicle needed a driver. But as autonomous mobility solutions move from pilot programs to real deployments, the entire logic of cabin design is being rewritten — and seating is where the change....
