    I was playing beamng drive and used multi-seat and wondered what the purpose is for it, is it suppose to be a multiplayer game mode? and is there a split screen option for it?

    You can plug in multiple controllers, and each will control a different car. There is a camera that lets you see all cars at once, but no split screen.

    It's called the multiseat camera. You'll have to enable it through the settings.

    It's only accessible when multi-seat mode is enabled.

    There's no setting for multiseat camera.

    If you are using multiseat mode, then the orbit camera will change its behaviour, attempting to focus all vehicles at once, rather than only follow player #1 vehicle. That's all there is to it :)

    @stenyak this might be a stupid question but is it possible to have the game output to multiple monitors and then display a different camera view, each focused on a single car, on each one? That could allow for local multiplayer races rather than just derbies.

    Multiple view rendering is not planned, neither for the same window/screen nor for multiple windows/screens.
