Chinese carmaker Seres has been granted a patent for an in-car toilet that can be deployed from beneath a passenger seat, either at the push of a button or via voice command.&nbsp;The patent, filed on April 10, includes an engineering explanation that the feature would “satisfy users’ toilet needs on long journeys, while camping or while staying in the car”, a BBC report said. The design effectively integrates a lavatory into a standard passenger seat, meaning occupants would be seated directly above the unit rather than using a separate compartment, as seen in motorhomes.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/japan-earthquake-honshu-s-four-plate-conjunction-just-triggered-a-7-4-quake-1776675342770">Japan earthquake: Honshu’s four-plate conjunction just triggered a 7.4 quake</a>&nbsp;While the concept may draw comparisons with self-contained recreational vehicles, the absence of a dedicated bathroom space marks a key difference. Instead, the system is built into the cabin layout of a conventional car.&nbsp;To address hygiene and comfort concerns, the proposed setup includes a dedicated fan and exhaust mechanism designed to channel odours out of the vehicle. A heating element would also be used to evaporate urine and dry other waste, according to the patent details.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-tariffs-refunds-who-will-get-refund-and-what-will-be-the-process-all-you-need-to-know-1776672939123">Trump tariffs refunds: Who will get refund and what will be the process</a>&nbsp;Seres has not announced any immediate plans to introduce vehicles equipped with the integrated toilet.
