The said invention (US10059231B2) was invented by Jens Dietmar Reuschel and Vanessa Diedrichs on 20^th September 2014. Currently; it stands assigned to Audi AG.

The invention features a vehicle seat that moves along a guide, shifting away from the vehicle center and rotating toward it during semi-autonomous driving, enhancing passenger communication and driver comfort for tasks like using laptops. The guide allows movement along the vehicle’s longitudinal, transverse, and vertical axes, offering flexible seat positioning.

The seat includes a holding device for securing it in place, which can be adjusted manually or automatically. It can also tilt for added comfort, with options for electrical, pneumatic, or mechanical adjustment. Additionally, the seat can move along the vehicle’s axis independently of its rotation. This system can be applied to multiple seats, with controls for adjusting positions during autonomous driving and resetting for manual driving.
