Unstressing Interior for Citroën

I started from the fact that in Europe and particulary in France, people don't make sport and
it affect their body, and cause a lack of muscles. We estimate that 80% of the population
had, have or will have back problems.
In parallel we note that our work today are more stressful for employees; companies
structures are not adapted toward a psychological side. And the road is hostile, driving
behaviors are not positives, they are not gentle, so the drive from home to work is a stress
vector for your day.
This is an important part of a day and i intented to act on this side.

So, i began from the interior that is the important part of the vehicle while creating a full
adaptative interior.Indeed, seat are composed by pads which move to adapt to your body. The driving position is in half recumbent because it's nearest from the sleeping position that is the relax position for your body. To adapt itself, the car, when your on the side, the door will scan your morphology, and correct its stance to facilitate ingress and will move seats pads to adjust it in 3D dimensions for a full comfort position.
When you are installed, the hub composed by the stearing wheel and cluster slide through
the cockpit to adjust distance and position for the driver.
Each pads of the seat is composed by sensors, which detect body tension, morphology
suffering, soreness, and will relax muscles with heating. This is Thermotherapy.
In the interior, all is simplified, no complexe surfaces, no billions of buttons, it's welcoming.
No pedals, so no control of your speed allowing you not to stress with speed exceed : you
just choose to move forward or not with 2 buttons on the stearing wheel. The vehicle adapt
it's speed to the environment with help of exteriors cameras. You decide you gear by
touching the central piece pad on central consol.
You adjust temperature just by the central consol which command an air purifier in back
area. This air purifier can eject relaxing essence oil, this is Aromatherapy.
The stearing wheel is made of material like a slush : we can malaxe it, to relax yourself during
large trafic or intense driving situation, this is Malaxotherapy.
Differents parts are lightened in the car: the roof, and the structure in the back of the seat.
They are here to make a pure atmosphere with lightening, and to prevent seaon breakdown,
like in winter with lack of solar light, this is Luminotherapy

In conclusion, all the interior is adapted to relax your body, and your mind to start correctly
your day of working, and to make driving a comfort experience
