Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a modular autonomous-vehicle interior. In particular, an autonomous vehicle can comprise an interior comprising a plurality of different and distinct regions. Each of the regions can comprise one or more mechanical interfaces associated therewith. The autonomous vehicle can also include, for each of one or more of the regions, at least one modular interior unit comprising an interior element and a base mechanically interfaced with the interior via the mechanical interface(s) associated with the region.
Claims20
An autonomous vehicle comprising:
- an interior comprising a plurality of different and distinct regions comprising one or more mechanical interfaces associated therewith;
- and
- for one or more regions of the plurality of different and distinct regions, at least one modular interior unit comprising an interior element and a base mechanically interfaced with the one or more mechanical interfaces associated with the one or more regions, wherein the at least one modular interior unit comprises:
- a first portion of the at least one modular interior unit comprising a first portion of the base;
- and
- a second portion of the at least one modular interior unit comprising a second portion of the base;
- wherein the first portion of the at least one modular interior unit and the second portion of the at least one modular interior unit together form a perimeter of the base mechanically interfaced with the one or more mechanical interfaces.

An autonomous-vehicle interior comprising:
- a plurality of evenly spaced rows comprising a common number of multiple evenly spaced different and distinct regions defined at least in part by a particular shape;
- and
- for at least one region of the multiple evenly spaced different and distinct regions, one or more mechanical interfaces configured to mechanically interface with one or more bases of one or more modular interior units, at least one base of the one or more bases being defined at least in part by the particular shape, wherein a respective modular interior unit of the one or more modular interior units comprises:
- a first portion of the respective modular interior unit comprising a first portion of a respective base of the one or more bases;
- and
- a second portion of the respective modular interior unit comprising a second portion of the respective base;
- wherein the first portion of the respective modular interior unit and the second portion of the respective modular interior unit together form a perimeter of the respective base to mechanically interface with the one or more mechanical interfaces.
4 more elements
An autonomous-vehicle interior comprising:
- a plurality of different and distinct regions defined at least in part by a particular shape;
- and
- for at least one region of the plurality of different and distinct regions, one or more mechanical interfaces configured to mechanically interface with one or more bases of one or more modular interior units, the one or more modular interior units comprising one or more of a seat, a table, or a privacy partition, at least one base of the one or more bases being defined at least in part by the particular shape, wherein a respective modular interior unit of the one or more modular interior units comprises:
- a first portion of the respective modular interior unit comprising a first portion of a respective base of the one or more bases;
- and
- a second portion of the respective modular interior unit comprising a second portion of the respective base;
- wherein the first portion of the respective modular interior unit and the second portion of the respective modular interior unit together form a perimeter of the respective base to mechanically interface with the one or more mechanical interfaces.
