FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the vehicle 1, showing (a) the door closed and (b) the door open. FIG. 3 is a side view of the vehicle 1 with the door open. Hereinafter, description will be given mainly with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. The vehicle 1 in the present embodiment has a generally box shape. However, it is not intended to be limited to this shape. The vehicle 1 can autonomously travel in at least a predetermined direction. This traveling direction is shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 2, the vehicle 1 is provided with wheels 19 at the lower part, and the vehicle 19 can travel in a predetermined direction (traveling direction). The number of wheels 19 may be four or may be other than four.

The vehicle 1 has a bottom 10. The bottom portion 10 extends along a predetermined plane, which is a horizontal plane in the example of FIG. 2(b).

The vehicle 1 includes a first wall portion 11 at a first end portion 101 (see also FIG. 6) of the bottom portion 10. The first wall portion 11 is arranged along the direction perpendicular to the predetermined surface and along the traveling direction. The vehicle 1 includes a second wall portion 12 (see FIG. 3) at a second end portion 102 (see also FIG. 6) of the bottom portion 10. The second wall portion 12 is arranged along the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane and along the traveling direction. Further, the first end portion 101 and the second end portion 102 are arranged on the bottom portion 10 along a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction.

The vehicle 1 includes a ceiling portion 13 that passes the first wall portion 11 and the second wall portion 12.

The vehicle 1 includes a first door 14 and a second door 15 on the first wall 11. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, etc., the first door 14 is rotatable about a direction along the traveling direction as a first rotation shaft 111. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the second door 15 is rotatable about the second rotation shaft 112 along the traveling direction. The rotation of the first door 14 and the second door 15 can be automatically performed.

In the present embodiment, the first rotating shaft 111 is located at the intersection of the bottom portion 10 and the first wall portion 11, and the second rotating shaft 112 is located at the intersection portion of the ceiling portion 13 and the first wall portion 11. (See FIG. 2(a) and FIG. 2(b)).

The first wall portion 11 and the second wall portion 12 are arranged side by side on the bottom portion 10 along a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction.

The first door 14 and the second door 15 are arranged along the vertical direction on the first wall portion 11. In the present embodiment, this vertical direction corresponds to the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

In the present embodiment, the first door 14 is arranged below the vehicle 1 and the second door 15 is arranged above the vehicle 1. With the bottom 10 as a reference, the first door 14 is arranged closer to the bottom 10 than the second door 15.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2B, a part of the second door 15 may be mounted on the ceiling portion 13. In order to have such a configuration, for example, in addition to the second rotating shaft 112, the second door 15 is rotated and slid by a slide mechanism (not shown), and the state of FIG. It can be moved to the state of (b). Then, as shown in FIG. 2B, a part of the second door 15 is arranged so as to be mounted on the ceiling portion 13.

Further, when the first door 14 and the second door 15 shown in FIG. 2A are closed, the end 143 of the first door 14 and the end 151 of the second door 15 face each other. The doorway of the vehicle 1 is closed. On the other hand, when the first door 14 and the second door 15 shown in FIG. 2B are open, the end 143 of the first door 14 and the end 151 of the second door 15 face each other. However, the entrance of the vehicle 1 is opened.

As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, when the first door 14 and the second door 15 are in the closed state, the end portion 143 of the first door 14 is lower than the ceiling portion 13 from the bottom portion. Close to 10. However, when the first door 14 and the second door 15 are closed, the end portion 143 of the first door 14 may be closer to the ceiling portion 13 than the bottom portion 10. When the first door 14 and the second door 15 are closed, the end 143 of the first door 14 may be equidistant from the bottom 10 and the ceiling 13.

As shown in FIG. 2B, when the first door 14 and the second door 15 are in the open state, at least a part of the second door 15 has a predetermined surface (FIG. 2B). In the example of (1), the first door 14 is overlapped with the vertical direction of the horizontal plane. In the example of FIG. 2B, when the vehicle 1 is viewed from above, a portion of the second door 15 outside the second rotating shaft 112 of the vehicle 1 overlaps the first door 14. There is.

Next, the first door 14 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 3, the first door 14 includes a first surface 14A and a second surface 14B. When the first door 14 and the second door 15 shown in FIG. 2A are in the closed state, the first surface 14A faces the inside. That is, the first surface 14A faces the inside of the vehicle 1. On the other hand, when the first door 14 and the second door 15 shown in FIG. 2A are in the closed state, the second surface 14B faces the outside. That is, the second surface 14B faces the outside of the vehicle 1.

As shown in FIG. 2B, when at least the first door 14 and the second door 15 are in the open state, the first surface 14A of the first door 14 has a predetermined flatness. Further, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 3, when the first door 14 and the second door 15 are in the open state, the first door 14 is based on a predetermined surface of the bottom portion 10. In addition, it is configured to be able to open more than 180 degrees.

By providing the first door 14 with the above-described configuration, the first door 14 has both a function as a door of the vehicle 1 and a function as a slope when passengers get on and off. That is, it is as follows. The vehicle 1 may include wheels 19 below the vehicle 1. Therefore, there is a difference in height between the bottom 10 and the ground. For example, when considering getting on and off of passengers in a wheelchair, this height difference becomes an obstacle when getting on and off. Here, as described above, the first door 14 can be opened more than 180 degrees with respect to the predetermined surface of the bottom portion 10 (horizontal surface in the example of FIGS. 2A and 2B). It is composed. This makes it possible to lower the tip of the first door 14 to the ground as shown in FIGS. 2B and 3. Then, passengers, especially passengers in a wheelchair, can smoothly get on and off using the first door 14 as a slope.

Since the first door 14 can simultaneously perform the function of a boarding/alighting slope in addition to the function of the door, the first door 14 is manufactured from a material having appropriate strength. As a result, when at least the first door 14 and the second door 15 are in the open state (FIGS. 2B and 3), the first surface 14A of the first door 14 can support a person or a wheelchair. In addition, a person and a wheelchair can move from the first surface 14A of the first door 14 to the bottom portion 10.

Note that it is desirable that the slope angle of the slope is small in consideration of getting on and off the wheelchair. As an example, it is desirable that the slope angle of the slope at the time of getting on and off the slope lowered from the bottom portion 10 of the vehicle 1 to the ground is 15 degrees or less when the wheelchair is assisted. In case of self-propelled wheelchair, it is desirable that the slope angle is 5 degrees or less. Therefore, the dimensions of the first door 14 and the second door 15 can be determined according to the desired inclination angle from the bottom 10 of the vehicle 1 to the ground.

Also, referring to FIGS. 2B and 3, the first door 14 includes a first member 141 and a second member 142. The second member 142 has a slit portion 1421. The first member 141 slides and extends along the slit portion 1421. The advantage of this configuration relates to the use of the first door 14 as a slope. That is, if the first door 14 can be extended, the slope angle of the slope can be reduced when the first door 14 is opened. If the slope angle is small, the wheelchair can easily get in and out. Although not shown, the first member 141 and the second member 142 may be foldable.

Now, refer to FIG. 2(a) again. When the first door 14 and the second door 15 are in the closed state, the end portion 143 of the first door 14 and the end portion 151 of the second door 15 are in a facing state. Here, these two doors can face each other so that the second door 15 covers the first door 14. Although illustration is omitted, in the closed state, an overlapping portion may be provided between the first door 14 and the second door 15. The overlapping portion serves as a cover, so that the end 151 of the second door 15 can be configured to cover the end 143 of the first door 14.

-The advantages of the above configuration are as follows. The first door 14 also serves as a slope. That is, the end 143 of the first door 14 may contact the ground. However, here, in the closed state, the end 151 of the second door 15 can function as a cover that covers the end 143 of the first door 14. With the cover, the dirt on the portion of the first door 14 in contact with the ground becomes invisible from the outside of the vehicle 1. That is, the appearance can be maintained in a beautiful state.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, which are views showing opening and closing of the first door 14 and the second door 15, opening and closing of the two doors of the vehicle 1 will be described. When the first door 14 and the second door 15 are opened or closed, these two doors may start rotating at the same time. However, the timing at which these two doors start rotating need not be the same.

When the first door 14 and the second door 15 are changed from the closed state to the open state, the first door 14 starts rotating after the second door 15 starts rotating. Good. Here, consider a situation in which a passenger in the vehicle 1 gets out of the vehicle 1. Then, when it is raining or snowing outside the vehicle 1, the second door 15 that starts to rotate first has the function of a canopy that protects passengers from rain and snow, in addition to the function as a door. It will be. Further, in the presence of wind, it is possible to prevent rain and snow from blowing into the vehicle 1 by means of the second door 15 that has become an eaves. Further, considering the height of the line of sight of the passenger, the second door 15 opens first, so that the passenger inside the vehicle 1 can easily see the outside. Therefore, passengers can easily determine the timing of getting on and off.

From the above viewpoint that the second door 15 also functions as a canopy in addition to the function of the door, the following can be done when the two doors are closed. When the first door 14 and the second door 15 are changed from the open state to the closed state, the rotation of the first door 14 is stopped after the rotation of the first door 14 and the second door 15 is started. After that (the state shown in FIG. 4), the rotation of the second door 15 is stopped, so that the first door 14 and the second door 15 are closed.

The opening and closing of the first door 14 and the second door 15 may be performed in a different order from the above. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the first door 14 and the second door 15 are changed from the closed state to the open state, the first door 14 starts rotating and then the second door 14 is rotated. The door 15 starts rotating. Here, consider a scene in which a passenger in the vehicle 1 gets out of the vehicle 1. Then, since the first surface 14A of the first door 14 also serves the function of the slope as described above, the position and slope of the slope are first determined. Therefore, when the upper second door 15 is opened later, the boarding/alighting route is clear and the passengers can easily get off.

Also, as shown in FIG. 5, while the second door 15 is closed, the front of the passenger's eyes is covered with the door. Therefore, the passenger does not start getting off the vehicle 1. After the first door 14 also serving as a slope function is opened and the boarding/alighting route is established, the second door 15 can be rotated from the closed state to the open state. Then, the rotation of the second door 15 from the closed state to the open state indicates to the passengers the timing of starting and getting off the passenger. In other words, the second door 15 can also serve as a function of controlling the timing of getting on and off the passenger.

In the example of Fig. 5, the following can be done when the two doors are closed. When the first door 14 and the second door 15 are changed from the open state to the closed state, the rotation of the second door 15 is stopped after the rotation of the first door 14 and the second door 15 is started. Then, by stopping the rotation of the first door 14, the first door 14 and the second door 15 are closed. When the doors are closed in this order, the boarding/alighting ends when the upper second door 15 is closed. Therefore, when closing the first door 14, it is possible to avoid an unexpected situation in which the two doors cannot be closed without getting on and off.

Note that the order of rotation when opening or closing the first door 14 and the second door 15 may be other than the above-mentioned aspect. For example, when opening, the first door 14 may start rotating first, and when closing, the first door 14 may stop rotating first. Conversely, when opening, the second door 15 may start rotating first, and when closing, the second door 15 may stop rotating first.

Next, a configuration example for ensuring the safety when opening and closing the door will be described. Although not shown, the first door 14 that also functions as a slope may be provided with a sensor that detects a ground surface. Check if the detection function of this sensor has ensured a stable grounding condition. After this confirmation, the second door 15 can be rotated from the closed state to the open state. This configuration guarantees the safety of passengers, especially those in wheelchairs, when getting on and off.

Note that an obstacle sensor may be provided on the second door 15. This obstacle sensor avoids interference with, for example, the roof of a stop or trees, and makes it possible to appropriately adjust the expansion amount of the second door 15 from the closed state to the open state. It is safe because you can avoid contact with the outside when opening the door.

Furthermore, consider the case where there is another vehicle trying to overtake the vehicle 1 stopped on the road from behind. Then, from the other vehicle, it is possible to easily visually recognize that the first door 14 of the vehicle 1 has changed from the closed state to the open state. Then, the driver of the other vehicle can easily expect that the passenger of the vehicle 1 will start getting on and off. This is the same when the second door 15 of the vehicle 1 is in the open state. That is, the above configuration of the present disclosure can guarantee the safety of passengers when getting on and off the road.

Next, the inside of the vehicle 1 will be explained. FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram showing the inside of the vehicle 1. The inside of the vehicle 1 is shown as viewed from above the vehicle 1.

As shown in FIG. 6, the vehicle 1 has a first seat 50 and a second seat 60 on the bottom portion 10. The seats may be reversed, and the reference numeral 60 may refer to the first seat and the reference numeral 50 may refer to the second seat. The following description is based on FIG. 6 in which reference numeral 50 indicates the first seat and reference numeral 60 indicates the second seat. The first seat 50 and the second seat 60 are arranged along the traveling direction. The first seat 50 and the second seat 60 are arranged to face each other. The first seat 50 has a seat surface 51 and the second seat 60 has a seat surface 61. In addition, referring also to FIG. 2, the vehicle 1 includes an entrance/exit arranged in the first wall portion 11, and the entrance/exit is closed by the first door 14 and the second door 15. Further, as described above, the first door 14 has a slope in the open state.

The wheelchair can get into the vehicle 1 through the first door 14 that has become a slope. Of course, the wheelchair can also get off the vehicle 1. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the first seat 50 and the second seat 60 are arranged separately. A space in which a wheelchair can be placed is provided between the first seat 50 and the second seat 60. Note that, in the example of FIG. 6, the wheelchair is turned backward and gets into the vehicle 1. However, the wheelchair may be forward-looking into the vehicle 1.

Next, with reference to FIG. 7, a configuration in which the wheelchair that has been loaded into the vehicle 1 is fixed by the first seat 50 and the second seat 60 will be described. FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram showing the inside of the vehicle 1 similar to FIG. 6 described above.

As shown in FIG. 7, the seat surface 51 of the first seat 50 and the seat surface 61 of the second seat 60 extend so that the end portions of the seat surface 51 and the end portions of the seat surface 61 face each other and approach each other. It is possible. The structure for extending the seat surface will be described later. The wheelchair that gets into the vehicle 1 may be fixed to the vehicle 1 by being sandwiched between the end of the seat surface 51 of the first seat 50 and the end of the seat surface 61 of the second seat 60. It is possible. By thus fixing the wheelchair, the wheelchair does not move around in the vehicle 1 while the vehicle 1 is driving. That is, the vehicle 1 can safely transport a passenger in a wheelchair to a destination.

Note that in the example of FIG. 7, both the seat surface 51 of the first seat 50 and the seat surface 61 of the second seat 60 extend. However, one of the seat surface 51 and the seat surface 61 may be configured to extend.

Next, the structure for making the bed appear inside the vehicle 1 will be described. FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram showing the inside of the vehicle 1 similar to FIGS. 6 and 7 described above. Here, in the above-described example shown in FIG. 7, the seat surface 51 of the first seat 50 and/or the seat surface 61 of the second seat 60 is extended to fix the wheelchair by sandwiching it. .. In the example shown in FIG. 8, by further extending these seat surfaces 51, 61, a bed constituted by the seat surface 51 and the seat surface 61 can appear in the vehicle 1. The bed may be formed by extending one of the seat surface 51 and the seat surface 61.

As shown in FIG. 8, the bed is continuous with the first seat 50 and the second seat 60, and is located closer to the second wall 12 than the first wall 11. By arranging the bed at this position, the bed will not block the entrance on the first wall 11 side. Therefore, even if the bed appears, the passengers can continue to get on and off. Further, the bed can be arranged across the first seat 50 and the second seat 60.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a mechanism for extending the seat surface shown in FIGS. 6 to 8. Hereinafter, this mechanism will be described based on the second seat 60. However, the first seat 50 may have a similar mechanism. The second seat 60 has a seat rail 62 on the side surface of the seat 61. The seat rail 62 is arranged along the extending direction of the seat 61. Referring also to FIG. 8, this extending direction may be a direction toward the facing first seat 50. In the example of FIG. 8, this direction corresponds to the traveling direction of the vehicle 1.

The seat 61 is movably arranged along the seat rail 62. The movement of the seat surface 61 along the seat surface rail 62 may be performed by a drive mechanism (not shown) or manually. The second seat 60 includes a backrest 63. The backrest 63 has a front side 63A and a back side 63B. In the example of FIG. 9, the front side 63A is the side facing the first seat 50. The back side 63B is the side opposite to the front side 63A.

The second seat 60 includes an auxiliary seat surface 64. The auxiliary seating surface 64 is arranged on the back side 63B of the backrest 63 during storage (state of FIG. 9A). That is, the auxiliary seating surface 64 is hidden behind the backrest 63 from the viewpoint of the passenger. The auxiliary seating surface 64 is pulled out along the seating surface rail 62 to complement the moving seating surface 61 and become a flat state as shown in FIG. 9B.

The auxiliary seating surface 64 may be crawler-shaped and flexible. Further, the auxiliary seat surface 64 is connected to the seat surface 61. Therefore, for example, when the passenger manually pulls out the seat surface 61, the auxiliary seat surface 64 is also pulled out following the movement of the seat surface 61.

The first seat 50 may also have the same mechanism as the second seat 60. By extending the seating surfaces of the first seat 50 and the second seat 60, a bed as shown in FIG. 9C appears. In the example of FIG. 9C, the end of the seat surface 51 of the first seat 50 and the end of the seat surface 61 of the second seat 60 may abut. Note that the seating surface can be extended for only one of the first seat 50 and the second seat 60. In this case, a couch sofa appears.

In the configuration example shown in FIG. 9C, the backrest still remains as the backrest even after the bed appears. Then, the backrest can also serve as a partition with the luggage space behind the seat. The presence of the partition has the advantage that the load placed in the load space is less likely to collapse.

Now, with reference to FIGS. 6 and 8 again, an aspect of the first seat 50 and the second seat 60 when the bed appears will be described. In FIG. 6, neither the seat surface 51 of the first seat 50 nor the seat surface 61 of the second seat 60 is extended and the bed does not appear. At this time, the first seat 50 is arranged along the predetermined plane (horizontal plane in the example of FIG. 2) and along the direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of the vehicle 1, and at least two people can sit down. Similarly, the second seat 60 is arranged along the predetermined plane (horizontal plane in the example of FIG. 2) and along the direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of the vehicle 1, and at least two people can be seated.

On the other hand, in FIG. 8 in which the bed is shown, at least one person can sit on the portion of the first seat 50 where the bed is not formed. Similarly, at least one person can be seated on the portion of the second seat 60 that does not form a bed. With the above configuration, some of the passengers can be seated in the seat even when the bed appears. Then, the vehicle 1 can be used for medical purposes, such as one person who is not in good physical condition sleeping on the bed while an attendant sits down and heads to the hospital. In addition, when carrying luggage, the bed can be used as a bed on the back side entering from the doorway. At this time, since the worker carrying the luggage can sit down, the physical load on the worker during movement is small. In addition, since it is possible to return the state in which the bed is present to the state in which the bed 70 is not present, the vehicle 1 can be used for multiple purposes.

Next, the rotating mechanism will be described with reference to FIG. 10, which is an explanatory view of the rotating mechanism of the seat. 10A is a view of the above-described first seat 50 and second seat 60 as seen from the side surface. The seat surface 51 of the first seat 50 is rotatable about the third rotation axis 501 in the first direction intersecting the bottom portion 10 along the predetermined surface (horizontal plane in the example of FIG. 2). The seat surface 61 of the second seat 60 is rotatable about the fourth rotation axis 601 in the second direction intersecting the bottom portion 10 along the predetermined surface (horizontal plane in the example of FIG. 2). There are no particular restrictions on the rotating mechanism of the third rotating shaft 501 and the fourth rotating shaft 601. For example, a means such as a rotary bearing may be used.

The first direction may be orthogonal to the bottom portion 10 along the predetermined surface. Similarly, the second direction may be orthogonal to the bottom portion 10 along the predetermined surface. Note that the orthogonality referred to here does not have to be exactly 90 degrees, but may actually be an angle of about 85 to 95 degrees. It is difficult to set the angle to be exactly 90 degrees with no error at the time of actual manufacturing.

The first seat 50 and the second seat 60 transit between at least two states. FIG. 10B is a top view showing the first state, and FIG. 10C is a top view showing the second state. In the first state shown in FIG. 10B, the seat surface 51 of the first seat 50 faces the seat surface 61 of the second seat 60. Next, as an example, in the second state shown in FIG. 10C, the seat surface 51 of the first seat 50 and the seat surface 61 of the second seat 60 face in an inverted C shape. It is correct. The significance of the two seats having the first state and the second state will be described later.

The transition from the first state shown in FIG. 10( b) to the second state shown in FIG. 10( c) is as follows, for example. The seat surface 51 of the first seat 50 rotates about the seat shaft 51 in the first state shown in FIG. 10B with the third rotating shaft 501 as the rotating shaft. The rotation direction and the rotation angle at this time are referred to as a first rotation direction and a first angle, respectively. The seat surface 61 of the second seat 60 rotates about the seat shaft 61 in the first state shown in FIG. 10B with the fourth rotating shaft 601 as the rotating shaft. The rotation direction and the rotation angle at this time are the second rotation direction and the second angle, respectively.

When the two seats are viewed from above, the first rotation direction is the counterclockwise direction, the second rotation direction is the clockwise direction, and the first angle and the second angle are equal to each other. The state shown in FIG. 10B transits to the state shown in FIG. The first angle and the second angle may be different from each other. Further, the first rotation direction may be a clockwise direction and the second rotation direction may be a counterclockwise direction. That is, the second state is not limited to the inverted C-shaped state shown in FIG. 10C, but can be a desired state.

As described above, the first seat 50 and the second seat 60 can rotate based on the third rotating shaft 501 and the fourth rotating shaft 601 respectively. However, the seat may be fixed to the bottom 10 by using a posture locking mechanism or the like (not shown). The first seat 50 and the second seat 60 are, for example, fixed to the bottom portion 10 in the first state shown in FIG. 10B, and are temporarily unrotatable. Similarly, the first seat 50 and the second seat 60 are fixed to the bottom portion 10 in the second state shown in FIG. 10C, for example, and are temporarily unrotatable. Then, if the posture lock mechanism is released, the first seat 50 and the second seat 60 can be rotated again.

Note that a first actuator that rotates the seat surface 51 of the first seat 50 and a second actuator that rotates the seat surface 61 of the second seat 60 may be provided. These actuators correspond to the seat surface rotation actuator 1007 shown in FIG. Further, the switching between the first state and the second state of the seat can be switched by the operation of the first actuator and the second actuator.

In addition, when the vehicle 1 that performs autonomous driving includes the wireless communication circuit 1005 that can receive an instruction from the outside (see FIG. 1), the first state and the first state of the seat are set according to the instruction from the outside by wireless or the like. It is also possible to switch between the two states remotely. This switching control can be carried out by the server device 21 or the like of the management system 2.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 10(b) and 10(c), the first seat 50 and the second seat 60 can be seats for two persons. However, this does not exclude a configuration with three or more people. The seating surface 51 of the first seat 50 can be seated by at least two persons side by side in the longitudinal direction. Also, the seating surface 61 of the second seat 60 can also be seated by at least two persons side by side in the longitudinal direction.

In the first state shown in FIG. 10B, the longitudinal direction of the seat surface 51 of the first seat 50 is along the longitudinal direction of the seat surface 61 of the second seat 60. More specifically, in the first state shown in FIG. 10B, the longitudinal direction of the seat surface 51 of the first seat 50 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the seat surface 61 of the second seat 60.

Further, referring to FIG. 10B, the first seat 50 has a backrest 53, and the second seat 60 has a backrest 63. Then, in the first state, the backrest 53 of the first seat 50 faces the backrest 63 of the second seat 60.

The first seat 50 and the second seat 60 may be equipped with an air conditioner blow-out section. The position of the blowing portion is, for example, the shoulder openings of the backrests 53 and 63. Although the 1st seat 50 and the 2nd seat 60 rotate as mentioned above, the blowing part of an air conditioner can also follow this rotation. That is, even if the seat layout is changed by rotating the seat, the same air conditioning effect as that before the layout change can be obtained. Although not shown, the air conditioner blowing unit may not follow the rotation of the seat. In this case, since the blowing part is fixed to the vehicle 1, the air-conditioner duct has a small routing, and the inside of the vehicle 1 can be widely used.

Next, the display device 80 shown in FIGS. 10B and 10C will be described. In the vehicle 1, the display device 80 may be arranged along the second wall portion 12 (see FIG. 2, FIG. 3, etc.). The display device 80 may be, for example, electronic paper, a projector, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or the like. However, it is not limited to these.

Here, comparing FIG. 10B exemplifying the first state of the seat with FIG. 10C exemplifying the second state, the seating surface 51 of the first seat 50 in the second state is The display device 80 is closer to the display device 80 side than the first state. Similarly, the seating surface 61 of the second seat 60 in the second state is closer to the display device 80 than in the first state. That is, by rotating the seats in the vehicle 1, the layout of each seat can be changed so that the display device 80 can be viewed easily.

Note that, in the example of FIGS. 10B and 10C, the third rotation shaft 501 of the first seat 50 and the fourth rotation shaft 601 of the second seat 60 are not at the center of the seat. The positions of the third rotating shaft 501 and the fourth rotating shaft 601 are displaced toward the end of the seat closer to the second wall 12 (see FIG. 2 etc.) than the first wall 11. Here, consider a case where the inside of the vehicle 1 is narrow. Then, it can be seen that there is an advantage that the seat can be rotated as shown in the figure without using much space behind the seat.

The location of the display device 80 is not limited to the above location. For example, it may be arranged between the first seat 50 and the second seat and closer to the second wall 12 than the first wall 11.

The display device 80 may be arranged along the inner surface of the vehicle 1. The inner side surface may be a surface that intersects the bottom portion 10 along the predetermined surface. For example, the inner side of the second wall portion 12 is an example of the inner side surface. Further, at least a part of the inner side surface is along the traveling direction of the wheel 19 (see FIG. 2). Further, at least a part of the display device 80 arranged along the inner side surface is along the traveling direction of the wheels 19 (see FIG. 2 ).

Next, the table 90 shown in FIGS. 10B and 10C will be described. The vehicle 1 may include a table 90 in contact with the second wall portion 12 (see FIGS. 2 and 3). However, the position of the table 90 is not limited to this. For example, the table 90 may be disposed between the first seat 50 and the second seat 60 and closer to the second wall 12 than the first wall 11 of the vehicle 1.

Here, comparing FIG. 10B illustrating the first state of the seat with FIG. 10C illustrating the second state of the seat, the seat surface 51 of the first seat 50 is in the second state. The one is closer to the table 90 than the first state. Similarly, in the seating surface 61 of the second seat 60, the second state is closer to the table 90 side than the first state. That is, the layout of each seat can be changed to the posture along the table 90 by rotating the seat in the vehicle 1.

Next, an example of the shape and mechanism of the table 90 will be described. As shown in FIG. 10C, the table 90 may be trapezoidal in plan view. The four sides of this trapezoid are referred to as a first bottom side, a second bottom side, a first leg, and a second leg, respectively. The second base is a side longer than the first base. A side connecting one end of the first bottom side and one end of the second bottom side is the first leg, and a side connecting the other end of the first bottom side and the other end of the second bottom side is the second leg.

At this time, referring to FIG. 10C exemplifying the second state of the seat, the second bottom side of the table 90 having a trapezoidal shape is arranged along the second wall portion 12. As a result, the end of the seat surface 51 of the first seat 50 in the second state is along the first leg of the trapezoid. Similarly, the end portion of the seat surface 61 of the second seat 60 in the second state is along the second leg of the trapezoid.

Also, as can be seen by comparing FIGS. 10B and 10C, the trapezoidal table 90 is foldable. That is, FIG. 10B shows a state in which the table 90 is folded.

With the above configuration, passengers of the vehicle 1 can do the following, for example. In the first state of the seat (see FIG. 10(b)), the passengers can face each other and chat while chattering while the vehicle 1 is automatically driving. Further, the seat is transitioned to the second state (see FIG. 10C), and the folded table 90 is raised, so that the display device 80 can be used while placing a drink such as coffee or tea on the table 90. You can also watch the images and videos displayed in. In this way, by changing the internal layout of the vehicle 1 variously according to the application, the traveling time by the vehicle 1 can be effectively utilized.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the appearance of the vehicle 1. The first wall 11 and/or the second wall 12 of the vehicle 1 may have a window 16. Not only the first wall portion 11 and the second wall portion 12, but also the wall portion arranged on the traveling direction side of the vehicle 1 and the wall portion arranged on the opposite side to the traveling direction of the vehicle 1 are the window portions. 16 may be included. Passengers in the vehicle 1 can see the scenery outside the vehicle 1 through the window 16.

Here, the window 16 may be formed of a light-transmissive sheet member. The light transmittance of the window portion 16 can be changed. That is, the transmittance of the window portion 16 can be adjusted so that the outside scenery can be seen. On the contrary, the transmittance of the window portion 16 can be adjusted so that passengers cannot see the outside scenery at all, for example, for viewing a movie in the vehicle 1. The transmittance of the window portion 16 can be adjusted so that the outside scenery can be seen only a little. That is, the time spent by the passengers in the vehicle 1 moving by automatic driving can be varied and meaningfully changed by changing the transmittance of the window 16. In addition, the transmittance can be adjusted so that the inside of the vehicle cannot be seen from the outside even in the case of medical use, such as when one person who is not in good physical condition sleeps on the bed while an attendant sits down and heads to the hospital.

Note that it is not necessary to adjust all of the plurality of windows 16 provided so as to have exactly the same transmittance. For example, only the window portion 16 included in the first wall portion 11 and the second wall portion 12 may be in the blind state, and the window portions 16 included in the other wall portions may be in the transparent state.

Although various embodiments have been described above with reference to the drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such examples. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be conceived within the scope described in the claims, and naturally, these also belong to the technical scope of the present invention. Understood. Further, the respective constituent elements in the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined without departing from the spirit of the invention.
