Chinese carmaker Seres patents voice-controlled in-vehicle toilet. The innovative feature slides beneath passenger seats and can be activated through voice commands or manual push. Designed for long journeys and camping, the toilet includes a fan, exhaust system, and heating element to manage waste efficiently. This move reflects intense competition in China's saturated EV market, where manufacturers increasingly add unconventional features like massage seats, karaoke systems, and refrigerators to differentiate themselves. While the patent was filed in April, Seres has not announced production plans. The company remains profitable amid industry-wide challenges, positioning itself strategically in a crowded marketplace where innovation in vehicle amenities has become crucial for market share.
