When I look at pictures of the dashboard, Slate has two large openings like glove compartments,

where they offer speaker locations. Where would the passenger side airbags be located? I suppose the driver side is in the steering wheel center. Most cars have an area for the airbags, where Slate has compartments for storage. Do you think it would be located under the top of the dash?

Most likely the passenger side airbag is located on top of the dashboard. Side curtain airbags are built into the A-pillar. Also, both front seats are fitted with side airbags; this was mentioned when it was announced that Slate is assembling their seats in house. Some auto makers install airbags below the dash, but they are classified as knee air bags as a further supplemental restraint system.

Lots. Just....lots.
^ what he said.

Top of the dash seems to have become the more common option from my observations.
