A headrest assembly moveable in a cross-car direction along an upper portion of a seatback. The headrest assembly includes a seatback track member and a headrest track member that are operably connected for relative sliding movement therebetween. Movement of the headrest assembly in the cross-car direction can be automated via a motor and a controller. Certain safety features may be implemented such as a maximum range of motion of the headrest assembly in accordance with specific software implemented instructions. Stored profiles are accessible such that each headrest assembly associated with a passenger's seat can be moved into preferred locations for minimum visual obstruction when not in use. In addition, movement of the headrest assembly in the cross-car direction can also be effectuated manually.
