"The in-vehicle toilet design includes a fan, exhaust system, and a high-tech tank with a heating element to dry out waste. The system can be activated through a button or by voice commands."

"In China, automakers have turned to in-cabin maximalism to stand out from the competition, with models advertising the spaciousness of a luxury apartment wherever you go."
Seres, a Chinese EV manufacturer, has patented a compact in-car toilet that slides out from beneath the seat. This design aims to meet users' needs during long trips or camping. The toilet includes a fan, exhaust system, and a heating element for waste management. Activation can be done via a button or voice commands. While in-vehicle toilets may not be popular in the U.S., they could appeal to individuals with specific needs. The trend of maximizing in-cabin features is growing among Chinese automakers.
