The Link: A Motorized Modification to Car Seats That Makes Ingress/Egress Way Easier
Adapt Solutions invented it as a transfer seat for wheelchair users

Link was invented by Canadian company Adapt Solutions, which specializes in "innovative mobility solutions" like vehicle wheelchair lifts and ramps as well as transfer seats. The video was shot by Mobility One Transportation, an Oklahoma-based installer and seller of accessible vehicles.
It's worth noting that while the Link was designed as a transfer seat for wheelchair users, it might be useful to folks that aren't in wheelchairs as well. In particular, I think my 70-something neighbor, who can walk but has bad knees that make it very difficult to enter or exit cars, could really use something like this.

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

Lovely. Why is it so slow?
because there is no leg clearence and they didn't want to break people legs
Reminds me of old swivel bucket seats.
