The presentation of this project was intended to display the various positions for the seating arrangements as well as the movement of the seats in the process. The video shows how the seats are able to move with passengers on board without interfering with their comfort. 

The body of this vehicle is modeled after a Range Rover with an extension in the front windshield. I chose to model a luxury vehicle as I intended this car to have a high-end feel as these technologies would likely be expensive for an average vehicle.

As popularized by Tesla, a skateboard automotive design is used to enclose all critical components of the vehicle within the drive base. This allows for a more customized vehicle body and more room inside the vehicle.

I also positioned the driver seat in the middle of the vehicle. This is common practice for race cars, and it allows the seats to have more room for rotation while the vehicle is in motion. It also enables this vehicle to be sold globally without excessive modification. 

These four arrangements were discussed as the most useful seating scenarios which are possible with the cars design. The idea of center facing passengers is allowed by the autonomous capabilities of he vehicle, as well as a sleeping position for longer or overnight trips.

I utilized a full-scale mock-up of the seating position and vehicle parameters to ensure that the seating arrangements are not only possible but comfortable for the passengers.

This wood model was a tool used to explore the specific movements required to change the seating arrangements without causing discomfort to seated passengers. I was able to cut grooves to  ensure the movement of the passengers was accurate.
