Comfort and Convenience
Some people like a small bag at their feet so a bottle or glasses stay within reach, while others prefer that space empty because they like more room to move their legs.
Safety and Driver Assistance
When the car is not the one you use every day, a minute with the light switch, wipers and window controls before leaving the driveway makes those actions familiar.
Multimedia and Connectivity
If occupants want a radio station or a saved playlist between stops, that listening choice can use whatever playback the cabin offers. A phone call and charging remain separate jobs.
