Long-distance drives can cause extreme fatigue and musculoskeletal problems. These problems appear to largely be a result of poor posture. In order to address this, Japanese automobile manufacturer Nissan Motor Corporation designed zero gravity seats that adjust your posture to relieve your fatigue when you are behind the wheels and make long drives less taxing.
In this guide, we will discuss the following points related to Nissan zero gravity Seats:
- What is Nissan’s zero gravity seat technology?
- How do Nissan zero gravity seats work?
- List of Nissan models equipped with zero gravity Seats
Nissan Zero Gravity Seats
The zero gravity seats by Nissan is based on the concept of the absence of gravity in space. In 2005, the Nissan Motor Company turned to the neutral body posture research conducted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to design car seats that alleviate driving-induced fatigue and prevent backpain while driving.
In microgravity conditions like space, the human body assumes a neutral body posture (NBP) in which the least amount of stress is placed on our bones and joints. Taking these NBP research findings by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration into account, Nissan engineers developed the design of zero gravity seats using car ergonomics tech to make your drive more comfortable.
How Nissan Zero Gravity Seats Work
The distinctively shaped centre-folded seats comprise spinal support function and 14 pressure points to offer constant gentle support from your lower body to your shoulders. This ergonomic design allows for the minimum strain on the bones and joints.
Prior to production, the technology underwent thorough testing in a driving simulation, as well as in real-world driving conditions. Medical tests like blood samples to measure lactic acidity levels were also taken to confirm the effectiveness of zero gravity seats in reducing muscle strain and fatigue. The group of participants who gave the test consisted of men and women of different heights and body types.
Nissan Models Equipped with Zero Gravity Seats
The 2013 model of Nissan Altima was the first car to be equipped with zero gravity seat technology.
