Watch: New Jaguar technology will recreate the feeling of walking while you are driving

The seat will come with massive health benefits and could reduce the risks associated with sitting down for too long on major journeys. The technology could even be individually tailored to each passenger to achieve maximum health benefits.

The seat will stimulate the rhythm of walking through a movement known as pelvic oscillation and is said to prevent muscles from weakening.

Small seat adjustments will be made during the journey which will gently move your pelvis to recreate the feeling of walking.

The morphable seat is being tested by the company’s research team but is unlikely to be fitted to any road cars for the immediate future at least.

The seats have been developed after it was revealed more than a quarter of people across the world live sedentary lifestyles.

Motorists are also speeding more time inside their vehicles as Department for Transport data revealed each road user travels an average of 146 miles per week.

Dr Steve Play, Jaguar Land Rover Chief medical Officer said: “The wellbeing of our customers and employees is at the heart of all our technological research projects.

“We are using our engineering expertise to develop the seat of the future using innovative technologies not seen before in the automotive industry to help tackle an issue that affects people across the globe.”
