A handle system for a vehicle is disclosed and includes a support structure defining a handle. The support structure is movable between a stowed position where the handle is inaccessible by a passenger and a deployed position where the handle is accessible by the passenger. The handle system also includes an actuator operably coupled to the support structure and configured to move the support structure between the stowed position and the deployed position. The handle system further includes one or more sensors configured to obtain data indicative of vehicle motion and a controller. The controller is configured to determine the vehicle exceeds a threshold rate of movement based on the data obtained by the one or more sensors. In response to determining the vehicle exceeds the threshold rate of movement, the controller instructs the actuator to move the support structure from the stowed position into the deployed position.
