The controller can be electrically connected with the rotary driving member 33, and the control instruction is sent to the rotary driving member 33 by the controller to control the start-stop action of the rotary driving member 33, so that automatic operation can be realized by setting the controller, and the cumbersome operation of manually controlling the rotary driving member 33 is avoided.

[0045] Specifically, a one-key re-memory function can be set, and scenes to be memorized, such as a driving position, a resting position and a standby position, can be preset in the controller. By selecting different scenes, the controller sends an instruction to the rotary driving member 33, so that the automatic adjustment demand is met.

[0046] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle. The vehicle includes the headrest angle adjusting structure.
