The retractable steering wheel is co-developed with Tensor's Robocar autonomous driving system. When the vehicle switches into Level 4 autonomous mode, the steering wheel retracts, clearing the driver's area. This creates more space in the cabin and allows the front seat area to function more like a living or working space rather than a traditional cockpit.
