1. A vehicle system comprising:
- a base;
a seat rotatably disposed on the base;
a sensor programmed to measure an angular displacement of the seat relative to the base and output a displacement signal representing the angular displacement; and
a processor programmed to receive the displacement signal and select at least one passive safety device based at least in part on the angular displacement represented by the displacement signal.

Abstract
A vehicle system includes a base, a seat rotatably disposed on the base, a sensor, and a processor. The sensor is programmed to measure an angular displacement of the seat relative to the base and output a displacement signal representing the angular displacement. The processor is programmed to receive the displacement signal and deploy at least one passive safety device based at least in part on the angular displacement represented by the displacement signal.
