Abstract: A seat which is used as a passenger seat in a vehicle and which is adapted to assist passengers, particularly elderly and/or handicapped persons, in entering or leaving the vehicle. The seat includes a motorized control which permits the seat to be moved forward or backward, up or down, and to rotate on its vertical axis approximately 90.degree., as well, to tilt from back to front. The seat can be adjusted to fit the requirements of the person, and selectively rotate until the seat faces the door of the vehicle, extend outwardly toward the door opening, and then, tilt to assist the person in being seated or unseated. The swivel seat uses substantially the same space as is currently required for conventional adjustable seats in a vehicle.
