Car makers have spent a fair amount of money trying to make better seats. A luxury car from 1920s is much less comfortable than the economy car today. Comfortable seats are important for people who drive all the time, and they tend to buy cars.

BMW's new i3 "Urban Suite" interior shown at CES this past January supposedly takes comforts to a new level, albeit just for the one passenger.

What an incredibly awkward position to be in for both the driver and passenger. Be sure not to wear a skirt in the Urban Suite

Checking local laws where the car was demonstrated, it appears that it is not actually mandatory that skirt wearers put their legs up on the ottoman. While local police may harass you anyway, there is sufficient leg room to place your legs in the space between the edge of the seat and the ottoman.

I could hardly believe it myself, but it is true.

I probably missed a joke here.. why does this have anything with law to begin with?

Ah, I think I get it now.

The "local police may harass you anyway" part threw me off as I thought that's a reference to something actually happened.

Now if they could just rework the look of the front...

Seems cool, but I prefer to drive myself. Maybe I'm not cut out to be an executive? IDK
