The evolution of the driver's seat:
We've driven a car while sitting on a milk crate, but that doesn't mean we like it, especially when modern driver's seats offer luxuries such as heating and ventilation, active support in corners, and much greater crash protection than the crate. Mercedes-Benz has a long history of comfort, as even the Benz Patent-Motorwagen had a bench well cushioned enough for Bertha Benz to make a 65-mile road trip in 1888. It was roomy, too—her two teenage boys went with.
Considering that the Patent-Motorwagen marked the birth of the modern automobile, Mercedes can lay claim to having the first automotive seat. Inventing the car is all well and good, but the German brand was one of the first to put massaging elements inside car seats . Now that's brilliance. Also brilliant: bun warming via in-seat heaters, a feature Cadillac first offered in the 1966 DeVille. It was Saab that had the cool idea of ventilated seats in 1997.
