In the retracted position, the movable closure panel (17) extends over part of the internal storage volume (7) opposite the steering member (3) and the control device (5) housed in the internal volume. storage (7). TRIM PANEL OF A VEHICLE COMPRISING A STEERING ASSEMBLY The present invention relates to a trim panel of a vehicle comprising a steering assembly, in particular for an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle. In this type of vehicle, the driver takes direction commands in particular when the conditions for autonomous circulation, that is to say without the intervention of a driver, are no longer met, for example when exiting a motorway , heavy traffic or any emergency. More specifically, the invention relates to a trim panel for a vehicle, of the type comprising a steering assembly for said vehicle, said assembly comprising: - an internal storage volume defined in the trim panel, - a steering unit capable of cooperating with the vehicle steering system, - a control device, comprising at least one gripping element, fixed on said steering member, - At least one movable panel for closing the internal storage volume arranged on the trim panel, movable between a closed position, masking at least part of the internal storage volume, and an open position, not masking the internal storage volume . It is known from the state of the art of trim panels comprising a retractable or retractable control device. For example, WO 03/020572 A1 describes a trim panel comprising a display and a steering wheel, both of which are designed to move between a first driving position, deployed in front of the driver and a second retracted position, inside of the trim panel. A multiple bar linkage allows the display and the steering wheel to be coupled to the trim panel. The retracted position then increases the passenger space. The trim panels of the prior art are not satisfactory, in particular because the control devices do not integrate aesthetically with the trim panel. Indeed, the linkage and the control device remain visible from the passenger compartment of the vehicle in all positions of the control device. The invention aims to overcome this drawback by proposing a trim panel comprising a retractable control device integrating with the trim panel aesthetically. To this end, the invention relates to a trim panel of the aforementioned type, in which, in the retracted position, the movable closure panel extends over a part of the internal storage volume opposite the steering member and the control device housed in the internal storage volume. Thus, the movable closure panel aesthetically hides the steering member and the gripping elements of the control device. The movable closure panel fits harmoniously into the trim panel and contributes to improving its design and ergonomics, especially during autonomous driving, when the steering member and the control device are in the retracted position. The trim panel according to the invention may include one or more of the following characteristics, considered individually or in any technically possible combination: - The steering assembly comprises two movable closing panels and the control device comprises two gripping elements on either side of the steering member, so that in the retracted position, each movable closing panel extends next to each gripping element, - the steering assembly comprises a screen fixed to one end of the steering member so that in the retracted position, said screen closes part of the internal storage volume not closed by the movable closure panel, - the two movable closing panels are arranged on either side of the screen, the or each gripping element is assembled on the steering member by means of a pivoting connection around an axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the steering member, - the or each gripping element is movable in translation along the steering member, the control device comprises two gripping elements connected by a connecting member, the steering member is movable in translation along its main axis, between a piloting position in which the steering member extends projecting from the trim panel, and a retracted position, in which the steering member is housed inside the internal storage volume. The invention also relates to a vehicle comprising a steering system and a trim panel as defined above. The vehicle may also include the following feature: - the trim panel steering member cooperates mechanically or electronically with the vehicle's steering system. Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the detailed description which follows, given by way of example and in no way limiting, with reference to the appended figures, among which: - Figure 1 is a schematic perspective representation of the steering assembly according to the invention in the driving position, - Figure 2 is a schematic representation of the steering assembly of Figure 1 in the retracted position, - Figure 3 is a schematic representation of the steering assembly of Figure 1 illustrating the rotation of the gripping elements when passing from the piloting position to the retracted position, - Figure 4 is a schematic representation of the steering assembly of Figure 1 illustrating the translational movement of the gripping elements when passing from the driving position to the retracted position, FIG. 5 is a schematic representation of the steering assembly of FIG. 1 illustrating the movement of the screen and of the steering member when passing from the piloting position to the retracted position, - Figure 6 is a schematic representation of the steering assembly of Figure 1 illustrating the movement of the movable closure panels - Figure 7 is a schematic representation of a steering assembly according to another embodiment of the invention. The trim panel 1 shown in Figures 1 to 7 is suitable for being installed in a vehicle, for example in the passenger compartment of an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle. In this type of vehicle, control of driving can be transferred, at least during certain phases, to an automated system responsible for managing the critical functions related to driving the vehicle. To do this, the vehicle is equipped with various sensors, such as laser sensors, radars or cameras. The information collected is used to model the environment of the vehicle in three dimensions and to identify the different elements that compose it (e.g. markings on the ground, traffic signs, presence of pedestrians or buildings). All of the information then allows the vehicle to be guided in accordance with traffic and safety rules. These driving phases are called autonomous driving phases. The driver may have to regain control of the vehicle when conditions require, such as when exiting a motorway, heavy traffic or in an emergency. These driving phases are called manual driving phases. A manual driving phase can also be triggered voluntarily by the driver when he wishes. The trim panel 1 has a steering assembly 9. The steering assembly 9 comprises an internal storage volume 7 defined in the trim panel 1, a steering member 3 able to cooperate with the vehicle steering system, a control device 5 comprising at least one gripping element 11 fixed on said steering member 3. The steering member 3 and the control device 5 are movable between a piloting position, in which the steering member 3 and the control device 5 project from the trim panel 1, and a retracted position, in which the steering member 3 and the control device 5 are housed inside the internal storage volume 7. The steering member 3 and the control device 5 are in the driving position and extend projecting from the trim panel 1 during the autonomous driving phases (FIG. 1). The steering member 3 and the control device 5 are in the retracted position during the autonomous driving phases (Figure 2). The expressions "upper", "lower", "left", "right" are defined according to the usual directions of a motor vehicle. The internal storage volume 7 comprises an opening surface on the front of the trim panel 1 substantially perpendicular to the steering member 3. The internal storage volume 7 receives in the retracted position the steering member 3 and the control device 5. In the retracted position, the control device 5 is entirely housed inside the internal storage volume 7, for example so that no part protrudes from the internal storage volume 7. The steering member 3 is able to cooperate with the vehicle's steering system. According to one embodiment of the invention, the steering member 3 of the steering assembly cooperates mechanically with the vehicle steering system. The steering member 3 then typically comprises mechanical parts, such as for example a steering column, which cooperate with one another. A control device 5, fixed on the steering member 3, acts on the steering member 3 so as to vary the drift angle, ie the angle between the plane of the wheel and the trajectory of the wheel , the vehicle's steering wheels. The control device 5 therefore acts on the path of the vehicle. According to another embodiment of the invention, the steering member 3 of the steering assembly 9 cooperates electronically with the vehicle steering system. In this case, there are no longer any mechanical connections between the control device 5 and the vehicle's steering system. An electronic system is responsible for sending control orders to electric motors that spin the wheels. The various mechanical or electronic elements that make up the steering member 3 are for example arranged in a shell. As shown in Figure 5, the steering member 3 is movable in translation along its main axis. It thus moves between the piloting position in which the steering member 3 projects from the trim panel 1 and the retracted position, in which the steering member 3 is housed inside the internal volume of storage 7. The means of translation of the steering member 3 are for example provided by electrically controlled hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. The control device 5 is fixed to the steering member 3. It comprises at least one gripping element 11. For example, as can be seen in FIG. 1, the control device 5 comprises two gripping elements 11 fixed on either side on the lateral faces of the steering member 3. These gripping elements 11 can advantageously have an arcuate shape in order to improve their ergonomics. In the driving position, for example, the control device 5 extends substantially along an inclined plane at an acute angle a relative to the vertical. Typically the angle a is between 0 ° and 30 °. The inclination of the control device 5 improves the comfort of the driving position. According to one embodiment of the invention, the angle of inclination is memorized so that during each phase of manual driving, the control device 5 has the same angle of inclination a. According to one embodiment of the invention, the control device 5 comprises two gripping elements 11 connected by a connecting member 13 as shown in Figure 7. The connecting member 13 connects for example the two upper ends gripping elements 11. The control device 5 then has the shape of an inverted U. In a variant not shown, the connecting member 13 connects the lower ends of the gripping elements 11 and the control device 5 has a U shape. Finally, in a variant not shown, the gripping element 11 of the control device 5 is a handle or a directional joystick type "joystick". The or each gripping element 11 is fixed to the steering member 3 by means of a pivoting connection 15 around an axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the steering member 3. Thus, as can be seen in Figure 3, when the control device 5 moves in the retracted position, the two gripping elements 11 pivot so that the upper end of each gripping element 11 tilts towards the front of the vehicle, towards the trim panel 1. The gripping elements 11 fixed on the right face of the steering member 3 pivot for example by an angle β. The angle β is for example between 0 ° and 90 °, preferably between 15 ° and 50 °. In the embodiment of the invention where the two gripping elements 11 are connected at their upper ends by a connecting member 13, the rotational movement of the gripping elements 11 is similar to that described above. In the embodiment of the invention where the two gripping elements 11 are connected at their lower ends by a connecting member 13, the rotational movement takes place in the opposite direction. Advantageously, the or each gripping element 11 is movable in translation along the steering member 3. As can be seen in Figure 4, the gripping elements 11 are movable on their corresponding faces of the steering member 3. Typically, the movement of each gripping element 11 can be composed of a translation or a succession of translations in the planes defined by the lateral faces of the steering member 3. The rotational and translational movements of the gripping elements 11 are chosen so as to optimize the arrangement of the gripping elements 11 inside the internal storage volume 7 so as, for example, to reduce their bulk. The rotational and translational movements advantageously allow the gripping elements 11 to be housed in the internal storage volume 7 while a dimension of the gripping elements 11 is greater than the corresponding dimension of the opening in the internal storage volume 7. According to the invention, the steering assembly 9 comprises at least one movable closure panel 17 of the internal storage volume 7 arranged on the trim panel 1 movable between a closed position, masking all or part of the internal storage volume 7, and an open position, not hiding the internal storage volume 7. "Hide" means that the interior of the internal storage volume 7 is not visible from the passenger compartment of the vehicle. According to the invention, in the retracted position of the steering member 3 and of the control device 5, the movable closure panel 17 extends over a part of the internal storage volume 7 opposite the steering member 3 and of the control device 5 housed in the internal storage volume 7, more particularly opposite a gripping element 11. For example, the movable closure panel 17 is movable in slides fixed to the upper and lower free edges 19 of the internal storage volume 7. As a variant, the movable closure panel 17 is movable in slides fixed to the free lateral edges 21 of the internal storage volume 7. Advantageously, the movable closure panel 17 slides for example inside a sheath fixed in the trim panel 1. Thus, in the driving position, the movable closing panel 17 is not visible to the driver. Advantageously, the movable closure panel 17 is rigid or slightly flexible in order to facilitate its retraction into the trim panel 1. The movable closure panel 17 may for example have a flat surface or an irregular surface. For aesthetic purposes, the movable closure panel 17 is for example covered by a material such as wood or metal. Advantageously, the appearance of the movable closure panel 17 is identical to the appearance of the external surface of the trim panel 1 in order to improve the aesthetics when the steering member 3 and the control device 5 are in the retracted position. . The moving closing panel 17 is moved for example electrically, controlled by the electronic system of the car or by a command activated by the driver. The movement of the movable closure panel 17 is for example synchronized with the movement of the steering member 3 and the control device 5 in the retracted position. Alternatively, the moving closing panel 17 is moved manually by the driver. According to the invention, the steering assembly 9 comprises two movable closing panels 17 and the control device 5 comprises two gripping elements 11 on either side of the steering member 3, so that in position retracted, each movable closure panel 17 extends opposite each gripping element 11 (Figure 6). Thus, the gripping elements 11 are not visible when the steering member 3 and the control device 5 are in the retracted position. According to one embodiment, the two movable closure panels 17 are in contact with each other in the closed position so that said panels form a continuous surface which extends over and closes the opening of the internal storage volume. 7. According to the invention, the steering assembly 9 comprises a screen 23 fixed to one end of the steering member 3 so that in the retracted position, said screen 23 closes the part of the internal storage volume 7 which is not closed. by the movable closing panel 17. The screen 23 is fixed to the steering member 3. Thus, when passing into the retracted position, the screen 23 is movable in translation in the longitudinal direction of the steering member 3. The screen 23 is for example a multimedia touch screen flat screen of the liquid crystal type (LCD, liquid crystal display, in English). Screen 23 displays, for example, information related to driving the vehicle: vehicle speed, distance traveled, information from a guidance system, etc. It can, more particularly during the autonomous driving phases, also be used by the driver as a multimedia screen for viewing a film, photos, browsing the internet or being used as a work station for example. According to the invention, as visible in FIG. 2, the two movable closure panels 17 are arranged on either side of the screen 23. Thus when moving into the retracted position, advantageously the internal storage volume 7 is completely closed by bringing the screen 23 and the two movable closing panels 17 into contact. The control device 5 and the steering member 3 are then completely invisible to the driver of the vehicle in the retracted position. According to one embodiment, the screen 23 is fixed integrally to the front face of the steering member 3. Thus, in the piloting position, the screen 23 remains fixed in the horizontal position and does not accompany the movement of the control device 5. In a variant, the screen 23 is fixed to the steering member 3 by a pivoting link 25 around an axis extending in the direction of the steering member 3. The screen 23 accompanies the rotation of the control device 5 and then tilts to the left or to the right depending on the movement of the control device 5. Thanks to the invention, in the retracted position, during autonomous driving, the trim panel 1 has a particularly aesthetic finish. The movable closure panels 17 and the screen 23 integrate harmoniously and contribute to improving the design of the trim panel 1. Screen 23 can have different functions depending on the driving mode. In manual driving, screen 23 displays, for example, information useful to the driver concerning his driving (speed, distance, etc.) or concerning his journey, for example positioning information. In autonomous driving, the screen 23 turns into a multimedia device to distract the driver. Of course, other embodiments of the invention can be envisaged.
