An autonomous vehicle is provided. The autonomous vehicle includes a vehicle control device positioned proximate a forward end of the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle further includes a passenger seat. The passenger seat defines a seating orientation and is configurable in at least a first position and a second position. When the passenger seat is in the first position, the seating orientation is directed towards the rear end of the autonomous vehicle. In addition, the vehicle control device is substantially obscured from access from a passenger compartment of the autonomous vehicle. When the passenger seat is in the second position, the seating orientation is directed towards the forward end of the autonomous vehicle. In addition, the vehicle control device is accessible from the passenger compartment of the autonomous vehicle.
