Abstract: A vehicle seeking a parking space receives a signals transmitted from a second vehicle operating in the same area as the first vehicle. The signals indicate the locations of one or more available parking space identified by the second vehicle. The spaces may be identified on the basis of the second vehicle having just vacated a space, or on the basis of an ambient sensor carried by the second vehicle. Each parking space has assigned to it a quality measure of usability as the possible parking space for the first vehicle. The quality measure may depend on a distance or travel time from the first vehicle to the space, and/or a time elapsed since the space was identified, and/or the proximity of other vehicles searching for a parking space. A display screen shows the locations of available parking spaces, their relative quality measures, and a proposed route to reach them.

Abstract: A vehicle seat is provided, particularly for a center seat in a row of seats. The seat includes a back part swivel connected to a seat part so that the back part and seat part swivel away from each other in a seating position and swivel toward one another in a first stowage position. The seat back may be altered in its longitudinal extent between the first stowage position and a second stowage position such that the seat back has a seat length and a shorter stowage length. The seat further includes a traveling mechanism which automatically moves the back part longitudinally from the seat length to the shorter stowage length when the back part is folded into the first stowage position.
