Chinese carmaker Seres patents voice-controlled "in-vehicle toilet"

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1l92yv4mydo

"Chinese electric vehicles have become increasingly packed with unconventional features, like built-in massage seats, karaoke systems and a fridge, to stand out in a highly competitive market.

The patent filing shows Seres' plans for an onboard toilet that slides out from the bottom of a passenger's seat with a push or through voice-activated commands."

Am I supposed to unbuckle while driving, pull down my pants, and then shit on my commute? Or do I get in the habit and drop my pants when I get in the car just in case? I don't understand how this is supposed to be used. And for all the other times I just have to deal with a hole in the middle of the car seat?

Maybe you can poop if you wake up in the middle of the night in your commutable sleeping pod or while charging

Seres, based in the south-west city of Chongqing, has not announced any cars that have toilets and it is uncertain if any will be made.
