If Slate is manufacturing own seats, I sincerely hope they explore building a small, middle, filler seat with fold down back that converts to a console.

Great idea, but no airbag for middle passenger might be a non starter.

It is not currently a problem in other car lines. Why would it be here?
front airbags normally cover the entire dash area and rear seats rarely have anything other than side airbags,

The law requires all passengers have a restraint system such as seat belts. So at a minimum Slate would need to add belts for the middle jump seat. Regarding air bags, you are correct. Not currently required by law.

Seems attachment points would be same as currently planned except if over the shoulder loop is required.
