Presently, the development of new technology, automatic driving which allows a car to be driven without driver is getting competitive globally in the automotive industry. In parallel with the technology development of the car body on getting it to be driven smoothly, there are also many concept proposals on making the car interior more pleasant for the passengers to spend their time in the automatic driving car. Panasonic is proposing an “Ultimate Space” in order to allow passengers to enjoy the traveling time.
A bold idea which is different from the conventional design
The interior concept which proposed by Panasonic is "Autonomous Living Space Cabin". It is an idea which combined the various technologies such as camera, display, audio, and information communication system, etc. of the company, to create a moving living space. Let’s see through the proposed concept.
Space where 4 people can sit face to face
Four passenger seats are set in the interior of the car without any handle. The front seat is made to be able to rotate with an electric slider, which allows you to change the layout of the interior space freely based on the requirement.
Four people can sit face to face. In such a case, you can chat freely and easily with your family and friends when traveling. By the way, what if there are some exciting landscape such as plateau landscape or ocean landscape appears? During that time, all 4 persons can rotate their seat to face the traveling direction to enjoy the scenery thoroughly.
It can be changed to personal private space
Let’s imagine if there is an important call come into one of the passengers when traveling. In such case, the person who got contact can just turn to the other side to attend the video call privately, while the other passengers continue chatting. This concept is similar to the partition of the airplane business class.
The temperature sensor which helps to manage interior space temperature automatically
The air conditioner is always set to the temperature where the passenger feels the most comfortable. There is a temperature sensor installed in the interior space to maintain the interior temperature. The sensor is able to measure the temperature of passengers’ whole body. When the weather getting hot, the air conditioner which equipped with temperature sensor advanced technology will help to cool down passenger’s head, by not to over cooling the passenger’s body as it might not good for passengers’ health.
The window can be used as a display screen
The window is not just a glass, instead, it is also used as a transparent display screen. Usually, you can look at the scene out of the car through this window, in addition, you can also input the AR (augmented reality) file to it and use it as a movie or television screen.
From now onwards, the proposals to make full use of such advanced technologies will increase rapidly. Let’s look forward to the time when it became reality in our life!
