| Chinese Carmaker Patents Voice-Controlled Onboard Toilet |
| 2026-04-17 |
| [Breitbart] The feature is meant to “satisfy users’ toilet needs on long journeys, while camping or while staying in the car” engineers explained in Seres’ patent filing in China on 10 April, as per the BBC. Seres, an electric vehicle manufacturer based in the south-west city of Chongqing, has not announced any cars that have toilets and it is uncertain if any will be made. Still, the company is proud to announce its patent and achievement. The patent filing sets out in detail Seres’ plans for a facility that slides out from the bottom (no pun intended) of a passenger’s seat with a push or through voice-activated commands. The on-the-go lavatory can be accessed manually through pushing the seat back, as well as through vocalising “start up toilet function,” the Hong Kong Standard reports. Importantly, the toilet will come with a fan and exhaust pipe to channel odors out of the car, according to the filing on China’s intellectual property administration seen by the BBC. Hey, NASA |
