A system for altering form factor of an autonomous vehicle is provided. The system includes a movable member for mounting on the autonomous vehicle. The movable member is configured to move between a closed position and an extended position. The system further includes an actuator coupled to the movable member and configured to move the movable member between the closed position and the extended position. The system further includes a processing system in communication with the actuator. The processing system is configured to receive, from at least one sensor of the autonomous vehicle, at least one sensor signal, determine to move the movable member from the closed position to the extended position based on the at least one sensor signal, and control the actuator to move the movable member from the closed position to the extended position based on the determination.
