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.

The loo will come with a fan and exhaust pipe to channel odours out of the car, according to the filing on China's intellectual property administration seen by the BBC.

Waste is collected in a tank that has to be emptied manually. The toilet also features a rotating heating element that evaporates urine and dries other waste.

When not in use, the toilet is concealed beneath the seat, making full use of the space inside a car without requiring more room.

Uhm, excuse me, what is this Panzer?

Btw, i've once read a sci-fi dystopia story, where the few humans left all live naked in some vehicle filled with a hydro- and oilophobic smart, uh, slime? Gum? that can freely deform. You piss, the urine gets directed to a opening. You want to procreate, sperm from a matching partner gets exchanged via their vehicle. Stuff like that.

Guess they have this as their vision of the future?
