An autonomous vehicle 100 comprises a passenger compartment 105 having an instrument panel 195 and at least one seat 110. When the vehicle 100 is operating in an autonomous mode the seat 110 is folded and moved by a motor to be stowed under the instrument panel 195. In order to accommodate the seats 110 under the instrument panel 195 other components such as accelerator pedal (120, fig 1) and brake pedal (125) may be moved further toward a front of the passenger compartment 105. In addition a steering 115 may be moved to make room for the sliding of the seat 110. The seat is configured to slide along rails 200 and when the seat 110 is stowed a back row of seats move toward a front of the vehicle 100. The motor is configured to move the seat 110 while the vehicle 100 is moving and to return the seat 110 to an original position. An autonomous controller receives signals from sensors and controls at least one subsystem according to the signals
