Ford's transformable car cabins: reconfigurable interiors for any need
Ford Motor has filed a patent application for fully transformable cabins that could be used in the company's future vehicles. This innovative technology would allow owners to literally reconfigure their car's interior with the push of a button, saving and quickly recalling preset configurations.
The system is based on a modular design of seats, partitions, and other interior elements. This gives owners the flexibility to easily adapt the cabin for various use cases. For instance, a driver could instantly create a comfortable workspace inside the vehicle, with an ergonomic setup for a screen and keyboard, ideal for working on the go. Alternatively, they could configure optimal conditions for long family trips, providing extra luggage space and comfortable seating arrangements for passengers.
Overall, this means future Ford vehicles could seamlessly transition from a convenient mobile office to a cozy family car or even a mobile workshop, thanks to a wide range of interior settings. This development highlights the company's drive to make cars as functional and tailored to individual owner needs as possible.
