What will the Hero Surge S32's unique design mean for its safety features?

Vehicle design is a safety centric problem, taking it a notch up, the Hero surge S32 meant to be a transformable vehicle introduces unique challenges and opportunities to accomplish this safety goal. The ability to switch between a three wheel and a two wheel configuration raises the issue of stability, crash protection and general structural integrity. The vehicle's dual modes may require traditional safety features to be reimaged. But also the question of how safety systems such as airbags or crumple zones would work in a vehicle that was designed to be split apart. In addition, the mechanism of the transformation itself introduces new potential failure points (which can affect safety). Moreover, the vehicle's hybrid nature may make it difficult to classify into the existing safety standards, probably causing the need for new safety standards to be developed. The safety implications of transforming the vehicle in various traffic conditions, and user behavior are also to be considered.
