Nothing screams safe like a solid unibody chassis with no crumple zones, a high center of gravity, terrible visibility and an ride height that forces pedestrians under the wheels in an impact. safe

Joke's on you, the Repulsor/Impulsor does not have wheels. It levitates.

Also jokes on you, the levitation technology used is described as cracking apart the ground as it moves, and would likely do far worse to a human body than regular ass wheels would.
