Well, again, it will be classified as a motorcycle, so it's safety camparable to a traditional bike should be significantly better and I said it would likely fare well against an average car, not neccessarily the "safest cars." That said, their goal is "to meet or exceed safety standards for traditional cars." So copared to my Ford Escort Commuter, should be comparable.
As for helmet, based on classification they might be required in states with helmet laws. (May require a motorcycle endorsement to drive, but I have one. ) But since the entire roof structure is a structural roll cage I'd say it's a bit safer than ayour average convertable.
Again, I look at this as a more user friendly motorcycle. Good on gas, fun to drive, easy to park. For people like me who commute 30 miles each way alone twice a day. It's not a grocery getter, every day driver.
