Very much like the intelligent toilet developed by students from Skjern Technical College in Denmark, the AutoClose automatic toilet seat cover from the house of Pressalit looks to be the end to the age-old seat-up vs. seat-down debate between the sexes in the bathroom. The AutoClose automatic toilet seat cover features a built-in sensor that keeps the toilet cover open when a user is present. The infrared sensor functions independently regardless of the amount of light in the room. Once the user is gone, the toilet cover will close automatically. It means you don’t have to put the seat down; it closes by itself, very gently. Featuring a minimalist and elegant design, the Pressalit AutoClose serves two purposes. It eliminates airborne germs from the toilet and puts an end to the debate that has been going on for generations between the sexes. Looking for something better? Check out our list of top 10 high-tech luxury toilets.
