A dashboard assembly for a vehicle includes a dashboard 18 defining a receiving niche 23. The niche is alignable with a driver seat location, and is selectively fillable by each of a removable steering module 22 and a removable filler module (38, figure 8). The removable steering module includes a steering module base, a steering wheel support 26, and a steering wheel 24. A steering wheel connector connects the steering wheel to a vehicle steering actuator. The removable filler module includes a filler module base. This arrangement allows easy interchange of the steering wheel module for a filler module when an autonomous vehicle switches from driver-controlled to driver-free mode. The removable steering module may include a first part of a selectively engagable mount, with the corresponding part of the steering module mount incorporated into the dashboard. The filler module may include a first part of a filler module mount that is also engagable with the corresponding part of the steering module mount in the dashboard. Also claimed is a vehicle comprising the dashboard assembly, and a removable steering module comprising a first part of a selectively engagable mount.
