Wow I really like the interior layout of the Space-Hub. Like, why haven’t people done this before? Unless it makes it somehow more dangerous not having seats in the traditional layout, hmm.
Well, as far as crash safety, I would think it would almost always safer to be facing backwards. That’s the way infant car seats are. Facing backward would mean your whole body would absorb the inertia change against the seat and your head would be supported. Better than seat belt bruises and a bobble head imitation, seems like.
That’s assuming the forward facing people in the back row are buckled of course. 60 mph headbutt would be…bad. Turn those seats around too maybe?
I think it’s just less space efficient compared to having all the seats facing forward. The actual car will probably have a more traditional layout.
Yeah, it’s just plain hard to get excited about concept cars. Rare to see much of it make it’s way to production.
People keep kicking around new rear-facing seat idea for electric cars. Technically, an electric powertrain should allow for more cabin space, and therefore, creative configuration options.
It’s not an entirely new concept. There are come vans that have rear facing seats, and rear facing seats in wagons were a very hot item in the 80’s.
I’ve known some people that get really car-sick riding backwards.
