Actually it would make logical sense in such a world to have very low profile racing seats with harnesses. They are less comfortable but keep you in place better. The added benefit is less body exposure to bullets through the windshield. I really think it's just the camera angle they chose though. Ubi has a different approach on driving view from CryTek's FC 1. All of their FC games have had cockpit view for more immersion. The only time it seems a bit low to me is when I'm driving up the crest of a hill, but I feel that is realistic.
