Embodiment Construction

[0032] Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown in , the vehicle 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is constituted by a four-wheeled vehicle. The vehicle 1 has a substantially rectangular body 2 elongated in the front-rear direction. The body 2 is provided with a pair of front wheels 3 and a pair of rear wheels 4. Vehicle 1 may comprise an autonomous vehicle that does not require a driver.

[0034] like Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown in , the central portion of the vehicle body 2 defines a substantially rectangular cabin 5 that is elongated in the fore-and-aft direction. The compartment 5 consists of a floor 6, a front wall 11 extending laterally and vertically along the front edge of the floor 6, a left wall 12 extending rearward from the left edge of the front wall 11, and a right wall 13 extending rearward from the right edge of t...

Abstract

A vehicle provides a comfortable space for a wide range of passengers. The vehicle (1) includes a plurality of seats (31) arranged in a fore and aft direction in a cabin (5) of the vehicle, each seatbeing supported in the cabin so as to be rotatable around a vertically extending rotational axis. Preferably, at least one of the seats includes a support column (32) extending vertically from a floor(6) of the cabin, and a seat cushion (33) supported at an upper end of the support column so as to be rotatable around the vertically extending rotational axis.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle, and more particularly to a vehicle having a novel seating arrangement. Background technique [0002] In a self-driving vehicle, the driver does not need to face forward all the time, so the front seats can be selectively swung back to face the rear seats. For example, see JP2017-039400A. The introduction of autonomous vehicles therefore creates new possibilities for seating arrangements. [0003] In addition, transport sharing is receiving increasing attention from the perspective of reducing traffic congestion and CO2 emissions. In transport sharing, groups of people sharing a common destination share a common vehicle. Often times, people sharing a vehicle may be strangers to each other. Therefore, some considerations may be required in the seat of a person sharing a vehicle in order to maximize privacy and minimize stress. On the other hand, people who share transportation may know each other. In such...
