Abstract

A motor vehicle, in particular a self-driving motor vehicle, has at least one vehicle seat, wherein the vehicle seat is constructed to be arranged at a selected position from a plurality of positions in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A motor vehicle comprising:
a vehicle seat constructed to be arranged at a selected position from a plurality of positions in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle;
at least one vehicle seat component connected to the vehicle seat, wherein the at least one vehicle seat component is at least one seat ventilator; and
a plurality of motor vehicle components at the plurality of positions, wherein the plurality of motor vehicle components is comprised of an air supply device having an at least one air outlet opening at each of the plurality of positions, and wherein each air outlet opening is removably coupled to the at least one vehicle seat component.

2. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a closure device associated with each air outlet opening for closing the respective air outlet opening.

3. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seat at least one seat ventilator has a bayonet closure for connecting to the at least one air outlet opening.

4. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vehicle seat has a heating element.

5. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vehicle seat has an interface for connecting a human machine interface.

6. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vehicle seat is configured to be arranged with a maximum extent thereof at least at one position of the plurality of positions.

7. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vehicle seat is constructed to be adjustable for driving dynamics compensation.

8. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the motor vehicle is a self-driving motor vehicle.

9. The motor vehicle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vehicle seat further comprises movement actuators, and wherein the movement actuators are configured to laterally rotate the vehicle seat.

10. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of positions further define a front position, a central position, and a rearward position, and wherein the vehicle seat is configured to be a flat surface in the central position.

11. A self-driving motor vehicle comprising:
a vehicle seat constructed to be arranged at a selected position from a plurality of positions in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, wherein the vehicle seat further comprises movement actuators, and wherein the movement actuators are configured to laterally rotate the vehicle seat;
at least one vehicle seat component connected to the vehicle seat, wherein the at least one vehicle seat component is at least one seat ventilator; and
a plurality of motor vehicle components at the plurality of positions, wherein the at least one vehicle seat component is configured to removably couple to the plurality of motor vehicle components at the plurality of positions, and wherein the plurality of motor vehicle components including an air supply device having at least one air outlet opening at each of the plurality of positions.

12. A motor vehicle comprising:
a vehicle seat constructed to be arranged at a selected position from a plurality of positions in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, wherein the plurality of positions further define a front position, a central position, and a rearward position, and wherein the vehicle seat is configured to be a flat surface in the central portion;
at least one vehicle seat component connected to the vehicle seat, wherein the at least one vehicle seat component is at least one seat ventilator; and
a plurality of motor vehicle components at the plurality of positions, wherein the plurality of motor vehicle components is comprised of an air supply device having at least one air outlet opening at each of the plurality of positions, and wherein each air outlet opening is removably coupled to the at least one vehicle seat component.

13. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 12 , wherein there is at least one closure device for closing the at least one air outlet opening.

14. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the at least one seat ventilator has a bayonet closure for connecting to one of the at least one air outlet opening.

15. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the vehicle seat has a heating element.

16. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the vehicle seat has an interface for connecting a human machine interface.

17. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the vehicle seat is configured to be arranged with a maximum extent thereof at least at one position of the plurality of positions.

18. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the vehicle seat is constructed to be adjustable for driving dynamics compensation.

19. The vehicle seat as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the motor vehicle is a self-driving motor vehicle.
