Cars Known as Mobile Toilets
Cars referred to as 'mobile toilets' are primarily those designed by certain automakers with special modifications to transform interior space into facilities for addressing physiological needs, such as the designs by Seres and Ji Shi Auto.
Seres has applied for a patent for a 'vehicle-mounted toilet,' featuring an innovative design. This sliding-rail toilet remains hidden under the seat when not in use, occupying no normal activity space within the vehicle and maintaining a clean and aesthetically pleasing interior environment. In emergency situations, such as highway traffic jams or driving on remote roads, users can simply pull the toilet out from under the seat with a simple operation. This design cleverly utilizes the limited interior space, providing convenience for passengers in special circumstances and effectively addressing the pain point of difficulty in promptly meeting physiological needs.
Ji Shi Auto, on the other hand, has modified the central armrest box of its seven-seater model into an emergency toilet. Inside the central armrest box, a foldable toilet seat is equipped, which can be folded up when not in use to save space and unfolded for comfortable seating support during use. Additionally, disposable plastic bags are provided for easy collection and subsequent disposal of waste, maintaining vehicle hygiene. Furthermore, the use of deodorizing gel effectively eliminates odors, preventing air pollution inside the vehicle and creating a relatively comfortable usage environment for users.
These special inventions and designs by automakers, known for their practical function of addressing 'physiological needs,' have been humorously dubbed 'mobile toilets' by netizens. These designs not only reflect automakers' deep insights and attention to user needs but also demonstrate the automotive industry's continuous exploration and experimentation in innovative design, offering new ideas and directions for the functional expansion of future vehicles.
