India has lots of issues with roads and lots of people travel on them and suffer pain and injuries in the short to long term. Can an ergonomic car seat design help the people in India to avoid or reduce pain and injuries?
Below I've shared content from an article about this.
Based on a detailed analysis of information from peer-reviewed scientific journals and texts, automotive engineering reports, and the National Library of Medicine a series of requirements for the optimal car seat design have been developed. Ideally, the optimal car seat should have:
Adjustable seat back incline (100 degrees from horizontal is optimal)
Changeable seat bottom depth (from seat back to front edge)
Adjustable seat height
Adjustable seat bottom incline
Seat bottom cushion with firm (dense) foam
Adjustable lumbar support (horizontally and vertically adjustable)
Depth pulsating lumbar support to reduce static load
Adjustable bilateral arm rests
Adjustable seat back incline (100-degrees from horizontal is optimal
Adjustable head restraint with lordosis pad
Seat shock absorbers to dampen frequencies between 1- 20 Hz
Linear front-back seat travel to allow differently sized drivers to reach the pedals
Seat back damped to reduce rebounding of the torso in rear-end impacts

If you know any companies or shops which make or sell ergonomically designed car seats then please comment below or contact me.
I've met police and other govt. officers over the years and I think that if they can have ergonomically designed car seats then they can avoid or reduce pain and injuries and then they can do their work even better and also live a much better life.
