copilot seat
First officer's position
The copilot seat is the front passenger seat in a vehicle, named by analogy to the second pilot's position in an aircraft cockpit.
The term emphasizes the passenger's role as navigator or assistant to the driver: She rode in the copilot seat with the map on her lap.
Also called the passenger seat or, informally, shotgun.
