Autonomous vehicle with reconfigurable interior

A vehicle comprising:

• autonomous driving sensors;
• an autonomous controller configured to receive signals generated by the autonomous driving sensors and control at least one vehicle subsystems according to the signals;
• a passenger compartment;
• and
• a steering wheel located in the passenger compartment and configured to be moved from an operational position to a stowed position,
• a first airbag configured to deploy during a collision if the steering wheel is in the operational position;
• and
• a second airbag configured to deploy during the collision if the steering wheel is in the stowed position.
