Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle comprising a vehicle cabin with a front vehicle seat system arranged in a front-seat compartment and a rear seat system arranged in a rear-seat compartment and a privacy screen coupled to the front-vehicle seat system and configured to expand from a compact-storage state in which the privacy screen is stored out of use to an expanded-use state in which the privacy screen extends into a space to limit sight and access between the front-seat compartment and the rear-seat compartment, wherein the front vehicle-seat system comprises a first seat positioned in lateral relation to a second seat and the privacy screen comprises a first curtain coupled to the first seat to move therewith and a second curtain coupled to the second seat to move therewith. 2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second curtains is pivotable about a first end from the compact-storage state in which the curtain is folded against a seat of the front-vehicle seat system to the expanded-use state in which the curtain extends away from the seat. 3. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the first and second curtains pivot relative to the seats and converge with one another to limit a space between the first and second seats in the expanded-use state. 4. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second curtains comprise a fastener configured to secure the first curtain to the second curtain in the expanded-use state. 5. The vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising a controller configured to receive user inputs and actuate expansion of each of the first and second curtains from the compact-storage state to the expanded-use state. 6. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the first curtain is coupled to an upper edge of a seat back of the first seat, and the second curtain is coupled to an upper edge of a seat back of the second seat.
