A vehicle may receive sensor data captured by a sensor, determine that the sensor data represents an object in the environment, and determine a collision probability associated with a predicted collision between the vehicle and the object. Based at least in part on the collision probability, a position of a headrest of the vehicle may be determined relative to a head of an occupant of the vehicle. The headrest may be adjusted in one or more directions prior to occurrence of the predicted collision to minimize injury to the occupant due to the collision.
