With self-driving cars it would probably be possible to design the seats so that with only one passenger it would be possible to lie down fully. This could make overnight drives in personal cars quite pleasant relative to buses.
- ChrisBland 11y agoTo me this is the most exciting part of fully autonomous cars. Some of the new car designs we are going to see will drastically change automobiles forever when you no longer have the concept of a "driver" or steering wheel. Where should input/control surfaces go? How should the car be built? How can it be built safer?

Is there a way to properly and safely restrain someone who is lying down when a collision occurs? I can only imagine the number of broken necks or spinal compression injuries resulting from hitting another vehicle at 60mph+.
